There are alot of differing opinions and thank goodness they're being expressed. I was told there was a sign that read "Don't destroy our families home for mud and mosquitoes" - not sure if that was trying to reference several families' homes or an unfortunate grammatical error but it was a sign. It's an emotional issue, for sure. If you click on the tab above- Know What Your Kids Know, you can see that the natural habitat is a more than "mud and mosquitoes". If some compromise isn't made to protect the surrounding habitat and ecosystem we plopped our houses into those signs could well read "Houseboat For Sale". Wetlands protect us. Yes, nature does help us despite us not always returning the favor. It alleviates flooding, filters toxins and pollutants we use in hefty amounts and provides a home for numerous birds, bugs (aka bird food), muskrats, moles, plants and trees (aka animal homes). So now what can we do? Question the traffic modeling, ask about the Farmington citizen's route that only affected 1 Farmington home and zero Kaysville homes. (The plan covers up to the border of Farmington and Kaysville.) Question the need for another road. Bring up better use of public transportation and the trend to telecommute. Put our elected leaders to the test and ask about zoning reglations.
Click link Think before building! for ideas to write about and send to every elected city, state and federal leader making the decisions that affect each and every one of our lives. Stop bad decisions before they start. "If you don't build it, they won't come"?

The answer cannot be more roads through this small area. This proposed West Davis Corridor will destroy homes and our surroundings.
