PLANNING STUDY

Heber Valley Parkway

AND MAIN STREET CORRIDOR PLANNING STUDY

PURPOSE

To address growth and provide

a reliable transportation

system for residents, visitors

and commuters in Heber City

and the surrounding area,

the Utah Department of

Transportation (UDOT) and

Heber City are conducting a

corridor planning study in

the Heber Valley to identify

an alternate corridor to Heber

City’s Main Street.

GOALS

• Alleviate specific types of traffic from Heber

City’s Main Street, including large trucks.

• Reduce traffic congestion on Main

Street, enhance economic development

opportunities and improve the overall

quality of life in Heber City and

Wasatch County.

• Improve safety and mobility on the Main

Street Corridor.

• Provide an opportunity for Main Street to

become a more visitor-friendly destination.

NORTH SEGMENTOPTIONS CONSIDERED

Three options were reviewed for the northern segment. Due to extensive wetlands, further evaluation is needed in an

environmental study to determine a recommended route for this area.

PLANNING STUDY

Heber Valley ParkwayNORTH SEGMENTWETLAND ROUTE CONSIDERATIONS

To comply with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969,

agencies to the extent permitted by law, must avoid

undertaking or providing assistance for new construction

located in wetlands unless the head of the agency finds:

• That there is no practicable alternative to such construction

which would have less adverse impact.

• The proposed action includes all practicable measures to

minimize harm to wetlands which may result from such use.

In making this finding the head of the agency may take into

account economic, environmental and other pertinent factors.
