Selection of the Preferred Alternative
was based on a comparison of all the
alternatives advanced for detailed study
in terms of mobility improvements, and
environmental, social, economic and
Section 4(f) impacts. In addition, the
project team considered public and

Highway Administration (FHWA) in
coordination with the Utah Department
of Transportation (UDOT), prepared an
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
for the project’s impact on the human
environment. The Final EIS (FEIS) was
issued on June 3, 2005.
Pursuant to Section 6002 of the Safe,
Accountable, Flexible, Efficient
Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for
Users (23 U.S.C. 139(l)) any person or
entity wishing to file a claim for judicial
review challenging this decision must
do so within 180 days of the publication
of this notice.
