Building Salt Lake

Your best source of news on commercial real estate, urban planning and development in Utah.

A reminder that UDOT is planning to make air quality worse in Salt Lake County by expanding I-15. This silly line about "emission rates per mile" is intended to obscure that truth. (And by UDOT's own admission the expansion will still have congested conditions anway).

Screenshot of a section from the UDOT website for the environmental impact study of Interstate-15 expansion. A highlighted sentence reads, "Generally, vehicle emission rates per mile are lower (better) at higher speeds/free-flowing traffic conditions compared to low speeds/congested conditions."
