As a resident of Green Springs, Brio or Warm Springs, you likely value your close proximity to Red Cliffs National Conservation Area, direct access to hiking trails, the serene quiet, breathtaking views and high property values.
Unfortunately, all of this and more is at risk due to the proposed Northern Corridor Highway, which would connect to the existing Washington Parkway and pass through Red Cliffs and just 300-1500 feet from the edge of Green Springs, Brio and Warm Springs. Traffic volume would exceed 32-46 thousand vehicles per day by the year 2040.

The 2020 Turkey Farm Road Fire caused homeowners to evacuate Green Springs. Studies show that the Northern Corridor Highway would lead to an increased risk of catastrophic wildfire that could impact homeowners in Green Springs, Brio and Warm Springs.
Are There Transportation Alternatives to the Northern Corridor Highway?
Yes! Engineers selected by Washington County have studied the Northern Corridor Highway and five alternatives, including two located outside of the Red Cliffs NCA and away from Green Springs. They have repeatedly published reports showing that the Red Hills Parkway Expressway and St. George Blvd. / 100 South One-way Couplet alternatives would perform better than the Northern Corridor Highway at reducing traffic congestion and travel time at a smaller cost.

Highway proponents are currently sharing misinformation about the Red Hills Parkway Expressway Alternative. Engineers admit that its design plan is less than 10% complete, so any potential impacts to businesses are premature and avoidable.
