Lehi • After many months of feeling ignored by city leaders, some residents and their kids are picking up sidewalk chalk to convey their dismay about a project they say would create a de facto gravel pit near their homes.
On walkways all over Lehi, local mothers-turned-activists and their children have been giving artistic expression to their concerns about letting Geneva Rock haul away gravel from a site in the Traverse Mountain community.
Members of the group Lehi Moms and Allies for Clean Air contend the grading operation at Traverse Mountain would kick up dust in an area where air quality is already compromised by existing gravel pits.
