Salt Lake City is exploring a concept to improve the quality of life for people living, working, and traveling downtown by adapting the existing street space to include more trees, shade, and transportation choices.
In 2023, the Transportation Division made safety improvements to the intersection of 900 West and California Avenue with pedestrian safety islands that create a protected intersection – the second of its kind in Salt Lake City!
The 600/700 North Mobility, Safety, and Transit Improvements Study will create a plan to transform this critical Westside Salt Lake City corridor in ways that promote safety, enable mobility for active modes and transit, and better serve the surrounding neighborhoods.
There is a new walking and bicycling bridge over the railroad tracks at 300 North (and approximately 500 West)!
As part of a larger effort to enhance transit facilities, Salt Lake City implemented a series of in-roadway bus boarding islands on 400 South between 900 West and Redwood Road. We also made improvements to the crosswalks at approximately 1400 West and the intersection with Goshen Street.
Over the last three years, the Salt Lake City Transportation Division has engaged with the community about 1000 West’s challenges and opportunities while also making smaller improvements such as adding buffers to the bike lanes, reducing the speed limit, and installing an all-way stop and high visibility crosswalks at 300 North. We are now looking at further improvements for the street and want to consolidate individual projects into a plan.
The Sugar House Safe Side Streets Study originated from a Constituent Capital Improvement Program request for funding to implement traffic calming in a section of Sugar House north of 2100 South.
We’re installing a citizen-requested roundabout at the intersection of 1000 West and 700 South to help calm traffic and improve roadway safety in the Poplar Grove neighborhood.
Salt Lake City partnered with the Capitol Hill Neighborhood Council to implement neighborhood traffic calming strategies that promote safety, livability, and neighborhood character for area residents.
Salt Lake City installed traffic calming in the west Sugar House neighborhood from 2100 South to 2700 South and from 500 East to 700 East.
Continuing to improve crossings across the city is vital to supporting a safe, comfortable, and accessible experience for people walking. Upgraded crosswalks offer improved visibility for people walking, increased user-friendliness, and help maintain driver attentiveness.
Community members requested additional traffic calming along 1300 South and 2100 East to reduce traffic speeds. In 2023, Salt Lake City installed speed humps and raised crosswalks!
Salt Lake City’s Transportation Division is partnering with UTA and UDOT to improve bus stops on Foothill Drive between Sunnyside and Stringham Avenues.
Neighborhood Byways create pleasant and convenient routes for people using active modes of transportation by encouraging safe travel speeds, discouraging cut-through vehicle traffic, providing safe crossings of busy streets, and connecting people to destinations.
The McClelland Shared Street helps transform the next two blocks of the trail along McClelland Street, from 2100 South to Sugarmont Avenue in the core of the Sugar House Business District.
The Life on State Implementation Plan, signed in 2018, details clear, actionable strategies that promote economic development, improve transportation options, and address safety measures along the five mile stretch of State Street between North Temple and 3300 South.
This Guide will help Salt Lake City create streets that are designed better for everyone. The project creates new definitions and designs for 17 distinct kinds (or typologies) of streets in the city.
