Bountiful/West Bountiful - Option A
BOUNTIFUL—The Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) is inviting the public to give input on a range of potential improvements – known as alternatives – along the I-15 corridor between the US-89 interchange in Farmington and 400 South in Salt Lake. UDOT held one of three open houses last week for those who live and use the corridor to see the alternatives and ask questions. “We started an environmental study a year ago and last spring asked the public to tell us what they need,” said Tiffany Pocock, UDOT I-15 project manager. “With that we developed a technical analysis and went through a scoping phase for ideas to meet those goals.” These alternatives look at improvements to I-15, area interchanges as well as improvement to the walking and biking facilities, she said. It’s a more holistic approach on how drivers interact getting on and off, she said. “Those ideas will go through refinement to see what that looks like and use the feedback from the alternative stage next year. We’ll come back in the fall with a draft document of the preferred alternative.” The study will be completed by 2024, said Pocock. “You should see construction by 2026.” UDOT initiated the environmental

study because they could see that the area needed to be reconstructed, she said. “We want to make sure that we look to the future and that the project meets the goals for all users.” There are three options for cities from Farmington to Salt Lake City. “We’ve worked closely with cities along the corridor,” said Pocock. “They know the commu-
nity and they've helped us.” Pocock said the open houses have been well attended. “We’ve had some great comments. That’s what we need. Feedback is constructive. Everyone has different ideas of what transportation should look like to
