This item received a positive recommendation from the Planning Commission and will go to City Council on December 12th. 

Lehi City requests this amendment to the Master Transportation Plan adding a future off-shore freeway on the north side of Utah Lake.

Growth in Eagle Mountain and Saratoga Springs requires additional road capacity. The Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) did a study of Pioneer Crossing. In order to prepare for the future growth, either Pioneer Crossing would need to be widened as well as 1900 South to the size of freeways. Or the off-shore freeway will need to be built as well as some added capacity on Pioneer and 1900 South. The impact to existing neighborhoods would be significantly greater without the off-shore freeway which makes it the preferred option.

UDOT will need to complete an environmental impact study next. This will allow them to consider other alternatives and choose the least environmentally impactful route.

    Has the Utah Lake Authority been involved in this proposal?

    maryb asked about 1 year ago

    This is a preliminary proposal for the Lehi City Master Transportation Plan. The approval of this on our Master Plan does not mean that it will happen. UDOT has not conducted any environmental studies on it yet either because it is not on the City's plan. At this point the Utah Lake Authority has not been involved because it is still in early stages, but if this moves forward they would be engaged in the process.
