Farmington City preferred I-15 alignment since 1996
Farmington City Mayor Scott Harbertson illustrated through several slides how the city has always wanted only an I-15 alignment. His slides started as far back as 1996. The idea of sandwiching the west side of Farmington between three freeways was unacceptable from the beginning. Mayor Harbertson used the term "making an island". That's exactly what a westerly route would do to all of us. It's unfortunate but it was apparent that several residents bought their homes in the Hunter's Creek and Quail Crossing subdivisions without finding out about the proposed road or with knowing about it but "risking it" that the long-planned corridor along 950 North would somehow not come to fruition.

Actually many signed a paper when they purchased acknowledging that there would be a road going through there. See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdSnzZNAF40
ReplyDeleteamazing! yet they still argue. just dump it out west. They ask everyone to care about kids, families, neighborhoods, cost but all those arguments actually better support NOT moving it out west! Their arguments are purely emotional and not fact-based.
ReplyDeleteNathan, good info and nice video. So, some signed a form stating that a road would be coming through in 25-30 years or ALL signed? Would all of these people wait until that time to protest? Either way it is still very short-sighted.
ReplyDeleteDid you sign a form stating that you knew a road was coming in your backyard? I live in The Ranches and I know I signed no such form. Wait, that's right, there has never been a PLANNED road through the Ranches. Had there been a plan for one then I may not have purchased my home. It's called DUE DILIGENCE.
This is unfortunate, but to protest after already signing a deal with the devil...well, that is just silly isn't it??
Let's keep the road where it is planned. Hey, I am happy to help protest the timing. If someone said there may be a road there in 25 years, then let's all help them stick to their plan.
Hallelujah, pass the Tylenol!!
Agreed! Hope you are all part of the facebook group "Save Farmington" Lets get organized!
