Mark your calendars to attend 6 days from now a UDOT kickoff open house meeting for the West Davis Corridor Environmental Study. One of three public meetings will be held on Wednesday February 24, 2010 at the Legacy Events Center (Fairgrounds at 151 South 1100 West, Farmington) from 4:30PM to 8:00PM. Here is more information about the meeting open house:

So why is attending this open house so important? Well in short, knowledge is power. The more Farmington citizens know about what UDOT is up to in our neighborhoods the more power well have to help them get it right.

UDOT will be conducting an EIS (environmental impact study) on building more roads through Farmington and the rest of Davis County. This EIS will be the magic UDOT will use to justify whether or not a freeway gets built right through the heart of west Farmington. Farmington City has told UDOT via its Master Transporation Plan where it wants a road to go (out west along the lake shore). Farmington citizens have been telling UDOT for many years that the Legacy Connector should not bisect west Farmington. Now is another good time to make sure UDOT knows what is best for west Farmington. The EIS requires public input, so give your input. Go to the meeting. Here is more information about the EIS:
