I’m surprised the recent story on the proposed widening of I-15 doesn’t repeat the oft-used reasoning from anti-highway builders that building more freeway lanes will just attract more traffic and that congestion will, in time, be the same or worse as it is now.
Brian Brenner, professional engineer and civil engineering professor, addresses this pro-highway vs. anti-highway argument in the “Build It And They Will Come” chapter of his book, “Don’t Throw This Away! .” In it he references a paper by Robert Cervero in the Journal of the American Planning Association, in which it is shown that building new highways does not necessarily attract more traffic and cause more congestion.
It seems to me that doing nothing to I-15 in northern Utah will simply cause paralysis and existing problems to get worse. As Professor Brenner concludes, “Blaming all the problems on roads and autos masks the real issue, that of land use.”BLM closed vehicle trails around Labyrinth Canyon and Gemini Bridges near Moab. Here’s why.
