"The Wasatch Front Regional Council will sponsor three public open houses to provide information on the current Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) and seek public comment on future transportation needs in preparation for the Update to the RTP that will be adopted in 2011 and will extend through the year 2040. The RTP is the template for all major highway and transit capacity expansion projects. Also, bicycle and pedestrian facilities will be addressed. As such, your input is sought as to what you would like to see in the way of future transportation planning and development for your community."
There are scheduled to be three open houses:
Monday, October 5, 2009
Weber County Govt. Center
Commission Breakout Room
2380 South Washington Blvd.
Ogden
4:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.
Tuesday, October 20, 2009
Salt Lake County Government Center
North Building
2001 South State Street
Salt Lake City
4:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.
Wednesday, October 21, 2009
Community Center Building
1912 West 1900 South
Syracuse
4:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.
One area of concern for the Trolley District, and all Ogden residents is the future of Harrison Boulevard. Current long-range transportation plans identify this corridor as a 7-lane regional arterial. The realization of such plans would result in increased traffic, noise, and pollution - as well as bifurcating the entire community. Now is an opportunity for community members and planners to envision a vibrant, multi-modal (complete street), and attractive Harrison corridor that meets the needs of the entire community.
For additional information please visit the Regional Council’s website at www.wfrc.org or at (801) 363-4250 (Salt Lake line) or (801) 773-5559 (Ogden line). Comments may also be given to Sam Klemm at sklemm@wfrc.org or mailed to WFRC, 295 North Jimmy Doolittle Road, Salt Lake City, UT 84116.
