Gov. Mike Leavitt certified transportation funds for the Legacy Parkway on March 16, 2001. We must combine the Legacy Parkway Project with mass transit options, including commuter rail and telecommuting, and expanding I-15 through Davis County.
Today is a major step in the right direction.
Together we have come up with a shared solution to transportation to meet our needs for the next 30 years. This shared solution is the only solution that will provide our citizens with the transportation they need. It's great to see it happening. The 14-mile Legacy Parkway Project, although part of the large Legacy Highway vision, is a separate project designed to function by itself. Building it does not mean the entire Legacy Highway must, or will be, built.
