R930-2-3. When Hearings are Held or Opportunities Afforded

Public hearings will be held or an opportunity for public hearing afforded on all highway projects where the project is on new location; where the project would have a substantially different social, economic or environmental effect; or where the project would essentially change the layout or function of connecting roads or streets. Uniform public hearing procedures shall be established and practiced in such a manner to insure that: (1) The public is given ample notification of each public hearing and such public hearing will be held at a time and place convenient to those concerned. (2) All interested persons shall have an opportunity to become fully acquainted with highway proposals of concern to them and to express their views at those stages of development when flexibility to respond to those views still exists. (3) The Utah Transportation Commission has an opportunity to consider the testimony or comments of any interested person or group having properly submitted such testimony or comments in accordance with published instructions.
