The UWSA continues to advocate for local residents and highway users with concerns about safety and freedom of movement on Highway 93. As necessary we are also consulting with traffic engineering experts to help us all understand and navigate the needs and rights of all the impacted property owners and highway users.
We feel that all motorists, cyclists, and pedestrians should feel safe as they enjoy our lovely communities and natural wonders.
