UDOT To Hold On-Line Public Meeting for Heber Valle Corridor Environmental Impact Statement
P b ic e c aged b i c e f A g. 27 Se . 26
Heber Cit , Utah (A g st 18, 2020) — The Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) has initiated an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) to evaluate transportation solutions to improve mobility through the Heber Valley and the operation of Heber City Main Street (U.S. 40). The EIS will evaluate potential impacts to the natural and human environments from proposed alternatives and identify a preferred alternative. A final decision is anticipated in early 2023.
Due to the current COVID-19 pandemic and to reduce health concerns, UDOT will hold a virtual public meeting on A g. 27 from 6 to 8 p.m. This meeting is part of the EIS scoping phase, pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) where agencies, community representatives, businesses, and the public can meet with the study team to learn more about the project and provide comments to help inform the development of the purpose and need, and possible transportation solutions to consider for the Heber Valley Corridor EIS.
As the public meeting is being held virtually, information on how to join the meeting is available on the project website, hebervalleyeis.udot.utah.gov. For those unable to attend, this meeting will be recorded and also live-streamed to the project Facebook Group (UDOT Heber Valley Corridor Environmental Impact Statement).
The meeting is a presentation format, followed by a question and answer session. The UDOT study team will provide information on the environmental study process, preliminary traffic analysis and solicit input on transportation needs and issues to consider for the Heber Valley Corridor EIS. Members of the public will be able to have questions answered during the meeting and then provide formal comment via the study website or other project communication channels.
“Public participation is an important component of the study and helps support the decision-making process,” said Jeremy Bown, UDOT project manager. “We’re asking the Heber Valley community and the public as a whole to get involved and help us identify transportation needs in the area. We’re ultimately able to develop better solutions when we have help from the public through their comments and participation.”
Those without internet access or requiring language or other accommodations are asked to notify the project team at 801-210-0498 or [email protected] for assistance in viewing materials and providing comments.
