Utah's Department of Transportation told FOX 13 News it no longer plans to displace homes as part of a proposed widening of I-15.
But residents in Salt Lake City neighborhoods along the freeway corridor still fear significant impacts that could harm them.
"We know there’s a shortage of housing right now in the entire state of Utah, so everyone is concerned if people were going to be displaced," said Rep. Sandra Hollins, D-Salt Lake City, who represents some of the areas impacted in the Utah State Legislature. Coker said they went through it before with previous I-15 projects and TRAX on North Temple. He walked into 700 West right next to I-15, demonstrating the line that the proposed project would go right up to.
