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.

Thanks for participating in the online scavenger hunt! We received over 350 comments, which the team is now reviewing. Follow this project to learn what we heard and how your input will be used to address the west/east divide!

Once we have received solutions from the public, the project team and our Community Advisory Board will asses them for…


* Cost and feasibility

* Impacts on existing communities

* Barriers to implementation

* How well they solve the problem statement

We’ll have more community engagement opportunities this summer for you to share your thoughts on these solutions as well.
