Community members have also identified important quality of life recommendations for the planning process, and asked UDOT to consider the following:
- Consider future traffic levels, air pollution and respiratory health.
- Prioritize safety, with particular attention given to vulnerable users.
- Maintain and improve job access, food options and green space.
- Ensure local communities are not burdened by transportation decision that primarily benefit pass through traffic.
