Local and state government representatives are making plans to develop a causeway cutting across Utah Lake. This proposed development is being touted as the solution to Utah County's burgeoning population as well as an environmental solution to the long-abused Utah Lake ecosystem.

Last I checked it is not a causeway but a bridge.  I would think that would make some difference.  There are bridges over many water bodies in the US including the San Francisco Bay, Lake Washington in Seattle, Lake Pontchartrain in New Orleans, to name a few.  Part of the reality of Utah Lake is to clean it up, money will have to go into it.  A bridge would help facilitate development which in turn can help clean up the lake.

The lake is in desperate need of a good dredging.  That would help the ecosystem greatly, it is too bad that some on the east side are being hypocritical about development.  If you really want to help the environment, then stop all development on the west side and the east side.  The only way to do that though is to have zero population growth, so quit having so many darn babies and seal off the U.S. border with countries with high birth rates such as Mexico.
