Senators Killpack, Bell and Eastman-

Appose SB 208.

Senator Killpack, there is no benefit to giving UDOT more eminent domain power.

Legislation that gives UDOT more power should be replaced with legislation that would require UDOT to go through a series of checks and balances that would provide Utah residents with the best road and freeway designs available with the least impact to families and their homes, communities and the environment.

UDOT has proven over time that they are unwilling to do the work necessary before making decisions that have such drastic negative impacts.

Apposition to this bill is in the best interest of every Utah resident.

I anticipate a response with the position you will take on this bill.

Thank you for your time-
