Save Our Neighborhood.
A Grassroots Effort to Stop the Northern Corridor Highway.
A four-lane freeway would run within 200 feet of our homes, destroy protected Red Cliffs habitat, and shatter the quiet community we chose to call home.

Come Meet Bill Hoster
GOP Candidate for Washington County Commissioner
Tuesday, June 2, 2026
6:30 PM
Green Springs Park
1760 N Vista Park Way, Washington, UT
Bill wants to hear what the neighborhood thinks about the Northern Corridor, and any other Washington County concerns you'd like to talk about.
Ballots for the Republican Primary will be mailed on June 2, and the deadline to return them is June 23. The winner of the Republican Primary most likely wins the general election in November, so your vote in the primary matters.
Carpool if possible, and bring a chair.
Voices from Green Springs
Real neighbors. Real impact.
“We moved here for clean air, dark skies, and quiet. The highway would take all of that away.”
“The pollution and noise will directly harm seniors and children living along this route.”
“This isn't solving traffic. It's routing a freeway through our neighborhood.”
What the Highway Would Do
The Northern Corridor Highway isn't just a road — it's a threat to our homes, our health, and protected federal land.
Runs through neighborhoods
Would run within 200 feet of homes in Green Springs, Warm Springs, Brio, and Middleton — affecting thousands of residents directly.
Noise, light & air pollution
Constant freeway traffic noise, headlight glare, and vehicle exhaust would degrade quality of life for families living nearby.
Destroys tortoise habitat
275 acres of desert tortoise habitat permanently destroyed. 2,333 acres indirectly impacted. The Mojave desert tortoise is a threatened species.
Increases wildfire risk
Road construction and traffic in fire-prone desert terrain increases ignition risk in one of Utah's most beautiful landscapes.
Destroys trail access
Fragments 2 trails and harms 13 others used by 600,000 annual visitors to the Red Cliffs National Conservation Area.
Violates federal law
The project violates OPLMA, the Endangered Species Act, NEPA, and the Land and Water Conservation Fund Act.
Destroys cultural resources
Irreplaceable Indigenous cultural and archaeological resources within the Red Cliffs Desert Reserve would be permanently destroyed.
Does It Even Solve Traffic?
The arguments for the highway don't hold up to scrutiny.
Does it actually solve traffic?
No. The route runs through neighborhoods, not around them, creating a new bottleneck at Green Springs Drive and Telegraph Street — shifting congestion rather than eliminating it.
Why can't the community just adapt?
Residents who moved here chose this community specifically for its quiet, clean-air character. They didn't sign up for a four-lane freeway in their backyard. That's not adaptation — that's taking something away.
Are there better alternatives?
Yes. There are solutions that improve regional mobility without routing a freeway through protected federal land and established neighborhoods. This route was rejected 7 times over 20 years for good reason.
