SLC West-East Connections Study
Salt Lake City (SLC) began a transportation study, funded by the US Department of Transportation’s (USDOT) Reconnecting Communities Pilot Program, to identify and prioritize solutions that improve west-east connectivity across the divide. The two-year planning effort will:
- Analyze transportation needs across all modes—driving, walking, biking, and transit.
- Engage directly with residents and stakeholders to define the problem and co-create solutions.
- Recommend infrastructure improvements that reflect community priorities and lived experiences.
