Right...."Hidden"

If you drive (or take bus 55) along Highway 89 in Fruit Heights you can see the recently built subdivision on the east side near the city's southern border named "Hidden Springs." Of course there's nothing hidden about this subdivision; it's clearly visible from the highway. And you can't miss the ugly tan stucco siding or the awkward roof lines. If you live in this new subdivision, the only public places you can walk to are Fruit Heights City Hall and the churches there on Mountain Road. If you live here, your kids can't walk to school or to the grocery store. It's another suburban noplace where the people are bound to their automobiles if they want to get anywhere or do anything.

So Hidden Springs is just one of the newest pieces of the unsustainable crapscape we've created here along the Wasatch Front.
