Infrastructure
Clearfield and Syracuse are growing fast. Infrastructure must keep pace — and Kara will fight to make sure it does.
Clearfield and Syracuse are growing fast. Infrastructure must keep pace — and Kara will fight to make sure it does.
Davis County is one of the fastest-growing areas in Utah, and House District 14 sits at the heart of that growth. Clearfield and Syracuse have seen explosive residential and commercial development over the past decade, bringing new families, new businesses, and new energy to our communities.
But growth without planning is chaos. Roads that were built for a fraction of today’s traffic are congested and dangerous. Water systems are strained. Aging utilities struggle to keep up with demand. And without coordinated investment, these problems will only get worse.
The reality is clear: our infrastructure was not built for the community we are becoming. We need a legislator who understands that roads, water, transit, and utilities are the foundation of everything else — our economy, our property values, our quality of life.
Kara believes infrastructure decisions must be driven by data, coordinated across jurisdictions, and aligned with the Wasatch Front Regional Council’s Unified Transportation Plan. Piecemeal fixes and short-term thinking have left us behind. It’s time for a comprehensive approach.
Our roads carry more cars than they were designed for. Kara will push for state funding aligned with WFRC’s Unified Transportation Plan to widen critical corridors, improve intersections, and create safer routes for pedestrians and cyclists. She supports FrontRunner double-tracking and expanded transit service to give commuters real alternatives.
Utah’s water future depends on the decisions we make now. Kara will advocate for sustainable water infrastructure investment, support conservation-minded policies, and ensure our utility systems can handle continued growth without sacrificing reliability or quality for current residents.
Growth should enhance our communities, not overwhelm them. Kara supports thoughtful land-use planning that respects existing neighborhoods, preserves open space, and concentrates commercial development in appropriate corridors — all while keeping local governments in the driver’s seat.
Kara’s infrastructure agenda is built on the principle that growing communities deserve growing investment. Here are the specific commitments she will bring to the legislature:
“Every family in this district deserves roads that are safe, water they can count on, and a community that’s planned for their future — not just reacting to yesterday’s growth. I’ll fight to make sure our infrastructure keeps pace with the families and businesses that call Davis County home.”— Kara Toone
When roads are congested, families spend more time commuting and less time together. When water systems are strained, the cost of living goes up for everyone. When utilities fail to keep pace, businesses look elsewhere to grow.
Strong infrastructure is not just about concrete and pipes — it’s about protecting property values, supporting local businesses, and ensuring that our children and grandchildren can build their lives right here in Davis County.
Kara understands this because she has lived it. After 40+ years in this community, she has watched it grow from a quiet corner of the Wasatch Front into one of Utah’s most dynamic regions. She knows what we stand to gain with smart investment — and what we stand to lose without it.
Kara Toone is ready to fight for the infrastructure our growing communities deserve. Stand with her today.
