Sam Brescia, Lands Division Tribal Surveyor, begins archaeological surveying off Colorado Highway 172 just outside of the Sky Ute Casino Resort on Monday, Nov. 7. Due to current events along Highway 172 and the high profile of the Tribe’s Broadband Project, the Lands Division has upgraded its safety measures by purchasing additional safety equipment for their surveyors.

Brescia stands next to his work truck with newly added flashing light bars, surveyors now have more safety equipment–including traffic cones, large traffic signs, and flashing light fixtures–to better help passing drivers see their presence and keep the surveyors safe.
