Forest Service plans a slew of projects in Logan Canyon List includes new markers, picnic areas.
Group voices environmental concerns.
Or so says the federal government, which plans projects in the canyon beginning as early as this summer. Improvements would include new picnic areas, paved parking lots and pathways, historical markers and as many as a dozen new stops between Logan and Garden City. Although nobody immersed in a controversy over the canyon's future is shouting foul, a local environmental group has concerns. For all appearances, the just-released plan by the U.S. Forest Service to improve stops along U.S. Highway 89 in the canyon will be implemented. The plan doesn't appear as likely to ignite the kind of controversy as the Utah Department of Transportation's proposal to widen the highway and create a ''scenic byway'' through the canyon's upper stretches.
