Standing-room only crowd rallies to seek extension of big-rig ban on Legacy Parkway

North Salt Lake • Standing on her porch, Angie Keeting can see the nearby Legacy Parkway. Instead of being repulsed by the freeway, she moved there three years ago to enjoy its trail system and “stunning” vistas toward the Great Salt Lake.

She loves the 11.5-mile road’s ban on big-rig trucks, its low 55 mph speed limit and its use of low-noise pavement that avoids tall sound walls. But she was floored by news stories that its truck ban, low speed limit and restriction to only four lanes will expire on Jan. 1, 2020 — which she says may ruin her now-quiet neighborhood.
