South Weber resident launches petition urging UDOT to include sound wall in I‑84 interchange project
Summary
A South Weber resident told the council she is collecting signatures to ask UDOT to include a sound wall in the planned I‑84 interchange, saying traffic noise near the Maverick station and 193 harms quality of life; city staff confirmed they have contacted UDOT and encouraged petitioning.
Cindy Cook, a South Weber resident living near 2700, told the city council she is leading a petition seeking construction of a sound wall as part of the planned I‑84 interchange. "We, the undersigned residents of South Weber, respectfully request that the cost and construction of a sound wall be incorporated into the upcoming I 84 interchange project," she said, asking the city and UDOT to prioritize the effort.
Mayor replied that city staff and the mayor had already sent a letter to UDOT requesting a wall and that UDOT suggested community petitioning as a practical path forward. Council members discussed tradeoffs — including that some residents may prefer unobstructed views — and staff flagged that UDOT indicated an 80% signatory threshold in the affected area may be needed. The council urged petition organizers to proceed so the city can document community support for inclusion in the larger interchange scope.
