Comments
- I-15 Atkinville interchange and Southern Parkway: Think all is good idea except would like to see this interchange go further South so as not to go through Sun River. This is a golf cart community for older people and would bring crime and other undesirable issues to this wonderful community. Thank you.
- What would you think if the Western Corridor was coming through your community? Very upset I’m sure. Put is South of us. No one told me about this one and a half years ago.
- Consider alternate route for Western Corridor - Not through Sun River.
- Please consider an alternate route around Sun River for the Western Corridor. Thank you!!
- Please do the Western Corridor from Ivins sooner than later. Ivins is so
- far from everything.
- PLEASE consider other routes for Western Corridor. Don’t bisect and impact the Sun River Community. Thanks.
- Why not run the Western Corridor further South around Sun River instead of bisecting a 55+ community? It would be less costly to build a bridge over the river further South too.
- As a Sun River resident, I am very much opposed to the proposal to turn Sun River Parkway into a major traffic route to I-15. This would certainly alter the lifestyle and conditions in the area which is the reason why we purchased a home there to begin with. Despite statements that “other alternatives can be looked at, everything I see shows SR Blvd. As the chosen route which concerns me. Why can the route not be changed to the South of Sun River and not cut up our community. For the sake of Sun River residents, please consider the alternatives.
- I presently live in the active adult retirement community of Sun River. Tying the Western Corridor to I-15 using Sun River Parkway shows a lack of
concern for the citizens that live in Sun River when there is ample time to come up with an alternate route around Sun River. Some of the negatives of using Sun River Blvd. are as follows:
A.The community will be split in half
B.Increase in crime due to easy access to and from community.
C.SAFETY - due to high traffic (up to 40,000 cars a day) when crossing, exiting and entering.
D.Decrease in property value.
- Show some compassion for your senior citizens! Please come up with another route for the Western Corridor to connect to I-15 rather than Sun River Parkway.
Response
The Western Corridor is part of a vision established in 1995 for a regional beltway connecting the cities of Hurricane, Washington, St. George, Santa Clara and Ivins. A study was completed in 2006 by the Dixie Metropolitan Planning Organization which comprises representatives from these cities. The study identified a possible route from I-15 to Santa Clara primarily for the purpose of preserving a corridor through the BLM lands. The study also concluded that the route would not be needed for 10-20 years and would cost over $100 million. The project is not being pursued at this time.
If the road is ever built, federal law requires that all routing alternatives be looked at again in depth and all impacts upon existing neighborhoods be thoroughly analyzed. Extensive public input will be sought and any and all issues properly addressed and mitigated.
