Utah Department of Transportation There was a broken fence post on the 4500 South bridge over I215; so I decided to give the report a problem feature on on the contact UDOT page. NOTE, UDOT only handles problems on state roads and the Interstate Freeway. There is a state road through most Utah Communities. Reporting the broken fence was a simple matter of drilling down the location on the problem on the site's map. I filled out the form shown above. The site asked that I register to receive updates on the request. I show this on the picture above. The picture on the bottom of the screen shows the broken fence framed by Mount Olympus. The video below demonstrates the new "bike boxes" that UDOT is starting to add to roads in the valley.Thu, 04 Nov 2021 01:20:00 +0000http://UtahColor.com/kewl.html?dt=2021-11-04Review: Utah Drivers

I assume that entering the contests puts people on a mailing list. I did not enter the contest; so I am not sure how emails one receives. This brings up a good point. It is best to have at least two email address. One should have a personal address for families and career and a public address for ecommerce, contests and public communications. The public address is likely to get overloaded with spam. Apparently KSL broadcasts keywords that you can enter on the site which will increase your changes of winning.
