Public comment window for Salt Lake-Farmington I-15 expansion plan extended to Jan. 13; Rose Park residents concerned
To help with this growth, the Utah Department of Transportation has released its new proposed Interstate 15 expansion that would widen I-15 to five lanes from 400 South in Salt Lake City to U.S. 89 in Farmington. It would also add an additional express lane to help decrease the heavy traffic seen in the area.
"We've recently been beset by the prison, the inland port, and we're aware there is a huge environmental disparity between the east and the west side both in our resources and in our health impacts," said Strong, the president of the West Side Coalition, an organization that raises awareness for needs and concerns of Salt Lake's west side.
"They'll be compensated, but will they be able to buy a comparable home in Salt Lake City or will they have to go further away?" Parke added. The widening of the freeway is just part of their proposal; UDOT recognizes that they cannot build sustainable transportation solutions by just increasing the space and number of cars on the freeway.
