The Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) will hold a public hearing on its preferred alternative for the US-89 corridor, from Farmington to Interstate 84, this Thursday night September 7.
According to UDOT Project Manager Michael Romero, the public hearing will be held from 4:30 to 7 p.m. at the Davis Conference Center, 800 Heritage Park Boulevard in Layton. The public is invited to attend this meeting, to learn more about the study and how the study team arrived at this recommendation, and to comment on it.
“The main purpose of the public hearing is to provide clarity on the preferred alternative, as well as to gather public input on it,” Romero said. “The team spent a lot of time, and looked at many different ideas and concepts to arrive at this point of our study.
“Now we would like the public to tell us what it thinks about the alternative that has surfaced as the most feasible, environmentally responsible and best addressed the concerns that have been expressed,” he continued. “Members of the project team will be available at the hearing to answer any questions,” he said.
The formal public comment period began on August 24, and continues through Monday, September 25. If unable to attend the hearing, the public is encouraged to review the US-89 State Environmental Study draft, and to make comments via the study website at “www.udot.utah.gov/us89”, by email to “us89@utah.gov,” or by phone at 888-752-US89 (8789).
