Eagle Mountain Resident Concerned About Growth Outpacing Road Infrastructure
Traffic congestion has become a significant issue in Eagle Mountain, Utah, with locals expressing frustration about the area's growth.
According to residents, the roads are struggling to keep up with the increasing population.
"Even the smallest accident or anything can really cause a problem,”said Lee Clyde, a resident who has experienced the congestion firsthand.
Clyde believes that the area's growth is outpacing the necessary road infrastructure.
"I think they are building homes, and denser development was approved. Not well thought out.”He added that
"It was approved before they really had the infrastructure for the roads."
