To the West Haven City Council,

We, the undersigned residents of West Haven, oppose the construction of the proposed connector road between 3300 South and 3600 South, West Haven, Ut. While we understand the City’s need to  manage growth and traffic, this project will cause permanent harm to families and neighborhoods in our community.

This road would take homes and land from residents who have built their lives here. Families face losing their property through forced acquisition, a disruption that cannot be undone with compensation. Those who remain would see their privacy, peace, and safety eroded as a once quiet area is transformed into a busy traffic corridor.

The presence of constant vehicle noise, headlights, and congestion behind homes will make it impossible for families to enjoy their backyards and will lower the quality of life for all who live nearby. In addition, properties along high-traffic roads consistently lose value compared to those in quieter neighborhoods. This means the financial burden of this project will not only fall on those who lose their land, but also on families who see their home values decline.

Beyond the direct loss of property and value, this road will endanger children and pedestrians as cut-through traffic increases. What are now safe, family-oriented neighborhoods will become less secure. More broadly, this project undermines the very character of West Haven, which is valued for its rural atmosphere, open space, and family-friendly environment.

This road does not benefit West Haven residents. It facilitates for traffic flow for the benefit of Taylor and West Ogden residents, at the cost of safety, privacy, quiet and physical land of actual West Haven residents.

This road is a city level project, not a UDOT project, or even a county level project. West Haven city council has the power to put its residents first and say no to this road. West Haven city government is beholden to us as citizens of the city, and not to the county, region, or even state. 

For these reasons, we respectfully petition the City Council to halt the 3300 South–3600 South connector project, reconsider its alignment, and pursue alternative solutions that do not destroy existing neighborhoods. We further ask that the City engage directly with affected residents in meaningful discussions about traffic solutions that protect homes, safety, and the character of West Haven.

West has always prided itself on a quiet farm community. Lets promote healthy city growth by finding a better way to facilitate traffic. 

By signing below, we formally voice our opposition to this project and call on the City to place the well-being of its residents above the convenience of regional traffic flow.
