Kambry! Let's start a Mission to save the wildlife habitat that would be affected by the freeway! The Mission could be instrumental in discouraging the construction of North Legacy Freeway (aka West Davis Corridor). The Mission area would be everything west of I-15 in Farmington; Kaysville and Layton. Plus all of Syracuse; West Point; and Hooper. Let's do it!!!
