Description/Agenda
The Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) is proposing a project to construct a section of raised concrete curb in the median along US-40 in Vernal, at the intersection of 1500 West. If constructed, the raised curb would restrict left turns from 1500 West onto north or southbound US-40.
UDOT's goal is to reduce traffic conflict points, promote driver awareness, and improve safety at this intersection. The proposed project may also include the replacement of pedestrian ramps and addition of crosswalks on the north and south legs of the intersection to improve pedestrian access and safety.
We are holding a Public Hearing to discuss the proposed project and take public comments. UDOT has completed a Draft State Environmental Study that will be available at the hearing for review.
