Garbage Pickup Gas Surcharge in Eagle Mountain
With the rapid decline in gas prices it makes me wonder if Allied Waste will reconsider their monthly $1 gas surcharge being applied to every household here in Eagle Mountain.
My guess is they won't.
Once a company has been granted to pass the buck, there is no looking back.

I-15 Rebuild and Other Roads to Bailout Eagle Mountain
UDOT plans on reconstructing a 20 mile stretch in Utah County to the tune of $2.6 billion dollars. This also includes two new major east-west roads that will be built to avoid construction.
Pioneer Crossing will be the name of a six mile stretch of road located at 1000 South in Lehi from the American Fork Main Street interchange to Redwood Road.
Vineyard Corridor is the name of the other east-west road. It will be a nine mile run that begins in Orem running through VIneyard, Lindon, and the American Fork Main Street interchange.

Eagle Mtn. to Get Express Bus Service
Saratoga Springs and Eagle Mountain residents will be getting express bus service to and from Salt Lake City after voting to approve a tax increase to join in Utah Transit Authority's coverage area.
With all of Saratoga Springs's five precincts reporting in by 11 p.m., its voters agreed roughly 2:1 to join UTA and raise sales tax by one quarter of a cent in their community. Unofficial numbers were 1,844 voters for the initiative and 929 against.
Eagle Mountain results showed a wider margin of approval, reporting in 40 minutes after Saratoga Springs polls with 1,783 voting to ratify the initiative and 509 opposed.
Passing the initiative allows UTA to provide bus service as soon as April 2009. Residents with disabilities in both cities will also have access to UTA's Paratransit program.-Daily Herald

Eagle Mtn. Scout Buys Badge Books for Library
The city library has received two copies each of the 120 merit badge books necessary for Boy Scouts to learn how to earn their awards, thanks to an Eagle Scout project.
Matthew McInelly collected more than $1,000 from family and residents to buy the books, said his mother, Debbie McInelly. Originally he was going to collect enough to buy just one copy of each book, but the library asked if he could double the donation. At the same time, the organization came out with new books, which dramatically raised the price.-Deseret News
