The Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) will hold two public meetings later this month to obtain public feedback on its Draft State Environmental Study.
The study began in fall 2023 and is scheduled to be completed this spring.
The study is for a proposed 10-mile extension of the Mountain View Corridor in Saratoga Springs from Cory Wride/Pioneer Crossing to Redwood Road near Pelican Point. The extension would divert up to 22,000 vehicles off Redwood Road each weekday and would provide southern Saratoga Springs residents with a second option for evacuating during an emergency.
The proposal also includes two 12-foot-wide shared-use trails parallel to both the frontage roads and the expressway.
The first meeting will be held April 29 on Zoom and can be accessed via the agency’s website. The second meeting will be held in-person on April 30 at Lake Mountain Middle School in Saratoga Springs. At both meetings UDOT officials will provide a summary of environmental resources reviewed and present an outline of recommended improvements and benefits. Attendees also can ask UDOT questions or submit written or verbal comments.
Public comments also will be accepted through May 16 on the agency’s website, via email or via mail. UDOT will review and consider all comments.
