    Ending Dec 27th? What about New Years weekend, this is only Christmas weekend, I would expect more and more drunks on the road as new year approaches.
    And why don’t they step up citing and towing of vehicles parked in no-parking areas, such as Hwy 50 at the SLT Airport. People are parking in the airport lot and running across the hwy to go sledding. Someone is going to die.
