DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT AVAILABLE

UDOT and the Federal Highway Administration have released the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) on the Mountain View Corridor, a proposed highway and transit corridor in west Salt Lake County and northwest Utah County. Tremendous growth in population, employment and in households over the next 30 years in the Mountain View Corridor study area will cause significant delay on roads and will create new demands for transit service. The DEIS examines community transportation needs and potential impacts.

PROPOSED 4800 NORTH CONNECTOR EVALUATION

Lehi City submitted a suggested roadway alternative for the Mountain View Corridor to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and UDOT in August 2007. The evaluation by FHWA and UDOT demonstrated that the impacts of the proposed 4800 North Connector are comparable to the Utah County alternatives studied in the EIS. However, because it would cost more than the other alternatives and have additional operational, safety and maintenance concerns, FHWA and UDOT have determined that the proposed 4800 North Connector is not a reasonable alternative.

PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD COMPLETED

The public comment period for the Draft EIS was Oct. 17, 2007 through Jan. 24, 2008. Comments received during the Draft EIS public comment period will be addressed and responded to in the Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS).

The Draft EIS is still available for review on this Web site.
