Commentary: More study needed before state makes changes on Legacy Parkway

We believe that a rigorous study is essential to evaluate the current need and to assess and disclose the impacts if large trucks and higher speeds are introduced on Legacy Parkway in Davis County. Such a study is critical to ensure that the needs and interests of the public are considered fully.

We believe that any changes to the parkway, which could take place after Jan. 1, should follow the legal requirements stated in the Record of Decision (ROD) issued Jan. 9, 2006, by the Federal Highway Administration, which is the final word on the legal status of the project.
