What's Happening in Southern Utah: Sand Hollow corridor - Hurricane

[@MaximusWilliams]

As a resident of Hurricane I'm both excited and apprehensive about the growth. I sure hope that they widen Sand Hollow Rd sooner rather than later because on the weekend it's crazy busy.

[@thomassawyer1228]

I emailed the mayor and asked what the city was planning to do in the short term with the intersection of Sand Hollow Rd. and SR9. The left turn lane on Sand Hollow Rd. going west on SR9 can only accommodate 3 cars. What's going to happen when 45 ft. long RV's and pickups with trailers and fifth wheels from Clamper's Inn hit that intersection? She replied, "That's a good question." In other words, she didn't have an answer. Just another example of poor planning. Developments are being approved without adequate water and electricity. Unbelievable what developers and their toadie politicians are doing.

Thank you for that.

Where is the water to support all this growth going to come from?

[@Marine450x]

Tomorrow! Hurricane is stealing from tomorrow to pay for today :o

Thanks Macrae for the updates, but this one is really making me sad. So much over-development that is not sustainable. We don't have the water for this -- water parks seem pretty irresponsible. And turning all of those ATVs, boats, and Jet Skis loose is going to turn a peaceful place into a buzzing nightmare.

[@elli003]

Define watershed range of capacity for culinary water and use that as proof to determine development. Or, some similar formulation.

[@julieabehling]

We need agriculture more than resorts down here.

Glampers inn was started without approved plans from the city. It has been 18 months and all they have done is move dirt. Not sure if they have approved plans yet. About half the projects have had preliminary plans for over a year.

Glampers Inn was also taking reservations and not notifying people that it was not even close to being done. I know because we were one of them, thank God our trip was canceled for pet reasons otherwise we would’ve been screwed.

[@pamelia7788]

Now is the time to contact the building department and ask questions.

Great video Macrae!

[@draino2k64]

We don't need more people. We don't even have enough water to sustain all this

[@danielleon4295]

ALL of your Politicians are already getting kickbacks for approving all this before most of the Residents even know about it !!!!

[@art-oq4nr]

Be careful what you wish for

Geez, a decade? I'll be dead in a decade

I personally talked to the City Engineer - and he was hesitant to say when Sand Hollow will be widened with the 4 Lane Round-A-Bout would be put in. It will be - but eventually. I asked him to just widen the intersection. He said no. It would be when they "eventually" widended the whole road.

Hurricane is not one of the fastest growing cities in Utah

[@2-strokesforoldfolks581]

Very disappointing. More vacationers and transients equals more traffic, noise and trash. Soon to follow will be lawsuits and legislation restricting our use of public lands due to the issues that overcrowding creates.
