2020 Email Updates
Thanks to everyone who participated in the project survey and shared their ideas and comments on how to build the best possible project!
The selection of the final street design was based on the following criteria:
- The Complete Streets Ordinance
- The Bicycle & Pedestrian Master Plan
- The City’s Climate Positive 2040 Plan
- Our technical analysis
- The results of the project survey (posted below)
On the weekend of March 7, 2020, our team posted door-to-door notices for adjacent residents informing them about the upcoming project (that flier is posted below).
A postcard was mailed to a larger geographic area to also inform residents in the surrounding neighborhoods.
Overview
2000 East south of 2700 South
2000 East south of Parley’s Canyon Blvd
In 2020, we reconstructed 2000 East from Parleys Canyon Boulevard to the city limit with Millcreek. The pavement surface, sidewalks, curb, and gutter were upgraded, and a new street design to improve travel conditions for people walking and biking was also implemented.
