Editorial Board: “The public has until January 13 to weigh in on the I-15 plan.”
And we’re being asked to weigh in on a choice between a design that would effectively total 18 lanes across and another that would be about 20 lanes wide — counting shoulders. The main difference between the two would be that the wider one would have a pair of reversible lanes running down the middle, lanes restricted to vehicles with more than one occupant, or that pay a toll, that allow traffic to flow south during the morning commute and north in the evening.
The betting here is that such a snarl will happen even if the highway is widened this time. And next time. And the time after that. The sad fact about widening highways is traffic always grows to fill the available space. Sort of like the junk in your basement or garage. So, because UDOT’s only tool is pouring more concrete, that’s what it is planning to do. Encourage more cars and trucks barreling down — or, by their own estimates, crawling along — the corridor that already befouls the air and segregates the lower-income households to the west from the more affluent neighborhoods to the east.
