The Wasatch Front Regional Council's Long Range Transportation Plan includes the Southeast Highland Drive Transportation Corridor. This area of Salt Lake County is experiencing rapid growth and as a result transportation needs are increasing. This study has been initiated due to intense development pressures and the resulting increased traffic demands. After studying improvement alternatives and how they accommodate both existing and future travel demands, a preferred alternative will be selected and strategies to preserve a corridor from development will be implemented. This study is planned to last approximately 18 months with a scheduled completion date of December 31, 1997.
Public comments are welcome throughout the process.
These meetings were held in an open house format and the public was invited to attend at any time during the three hour period. Back to WFRC Home Page. A MIS is required when the need to consider major transportation improvements is identified in a metropolitan area, and where federal money might be used to pay for the project. In cases where there is a need to conserve time and costs, the MIS and the DEIS can be combined into one, as we have done in this process. Back to Main Page.
