Summary
If your daily commute requires you to travel I-15 through southern Davis County, you probably don't want to hear that the Legacy Parkway would have been completed by now, had the project not been halted by a legal challenge filed in 2001.
Transportation planners believe they have satisfied the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals' order that the Utah Department of Transportation review five issues related to construction of the 14- mile highway in southern Davis County. The reviews, which included issues such as a narrower right-of-way and impacts on wildlife, resulted in few changes from the original environmental impact statement. Transportation planners hope that the supplemental environmental impact statement, or SEIS, will satisfy the court's requirements and allow construction of the project to begin anew once the proper permits are in hand. Best-case scenario, construction of the highway would not begin until spring 2006 and be completed by late 2008 or early 2009.See the full content of this document
