West Davis Corridor

KAYSVILLE — A final decision on the West Davis Corridor is still at least a year away, but the state is already purchasing property along the proposed route.

Utah Department of Transportation will use corridor preservation funds to acquire two Kaysville properties in the path of the would-be highway.

Lyle McMillan, UDOT director of right of way, said the first property is at approximately 2900 W. Schick Lane in Kaysville and is currently owned by the families of Devan Robins and Alice Kay Winegar. The property, currently vacant, is 15.34 acres and has been appraised at $2.15 million.

The second property, owned by BAC Kaysville LLC, is at approximately 1100 West Schick Lane. The vacant land is 1.90 acres and has been appraised at $256,500.

KAYSVILLE — Less than two weeks after Farmington had its say, Kaysville has given Utah Department of Transportation its opinion on locating an Interstate 15 interchange for the West Davis Corridor.

The West Davis Corridor study team will visit the three cities that will be affected by the most recent changes to the state’s heavily debated road proposal.

In early October, after considering information from stakeholders in the project and after a more detailed analysis of area wetlands, the Utah Department of Transportation made changes to the road proposal in select areas of Farmington, West Point and Hooper.

To discuss those changes in detail, the West Davis team will visit city councils from the three cities during the next month.

FARMINGTON — A new round of refinements to the two alternatives for the West Davis Corridor have resulted in fewer homes, farmland and wetlands being affected.

FARMINGTON — A final decision on the West Davis Corridor will take about a year longer than originally planned.

KAYSVILLE — A large group of residents in the southern part of this city want to make sure state transportation officials know that the potential impact of the West Davis Corridor is personal and does matter.

A group of nearly 200 people gathered Thursday night at approximately 350 East and 950 North to hold a short rally and vocalize their opposition to one of two options proposed by the Utah Department of Transportation for the highway, which could link Centerville to Ogden.

FARMINGTON -- A group of Davis County residents oppose one of the West Davis Corridor options so much, they've decided to buy a billboard along Interstate 15 to demonstrate their displeasure.

The billboard, which is on the west side of I-15 and is viewable in the northbound lane, sits between Pages Lane and Porter Lane in Centerville and reads, "WARNING: I-15 Bottleneck Coming. UDOT: www.StopTheBottleNeck.com."

If the West Davis Corridor gets built, it will include an interchange off I-15 that connects to the road in Farmington and southern Kaysville. The state will build the interchange at either Glovers Lane or Shepard Lane.
