Thank you to the activists who shut down the Inland Port Authority Board’s meeting this month. Something needed to be done, and more is needed to get the attention of our legislators and this un-elected board, as well as all Utahns.
I recently attended one of the board meetings and spoke during the public comment period (shaking voice and all).
In other cities with similar developments, the freeways are overcrowded with trucks. The 90-minute drive from Little Rock, Ark., to Memphis, Tenn., alone is essentially one long line of trucks. The increased traffic this port will bring will make our freeways not just unpleasant, but unsafe.
