Now’s the time to comment on how to spend $4B on Wasatch Front transportation

Officials want to hear from Wasatch Front residents about how to spend some $4 billion on transportation over the next six years.

The Wasatch Front Regional Council has released its draft 2020-2025 Transportation Improvement Plan — which includes proposals on when to build highway, transit, bike and pedestrian projects, and how much to spend on each.

All facets of “the transportation system really have to work well together with our population growing so fast,” said Andrew Gruber, executive director of the regional planning agency.

The comment period on the plan runs through Aug. 3, and residents can weigh in either by posting on an interactive map online that shows all of the projects at wfrc.
