Final Update
In 2018, Salt Lake City voters approved the Funding Our Future bond, providing funding for several of the city’s largest streets to be rebuilt and upgraded. The 200 South Reconstruction project started in 2020 with the vision of making transit easier, biking and walking safer and more convenient, beautifying this important downtown corridor, all while maintaining connectivity and improving pavement for drivers. Reconstruction began in 2022 and was completed in December, 2024.
200 South is Utah’s busiest transit street, used by 10 different bus routes with 34 buses traversing the corridor every hour. The project added:
- Transit priority lanes
- 10 In-lane bus stops with bus boarding platforms
- Buffered bike lanes channelized behind bus islands with intersection safety upgrades
- Sidewalk and curb ramp repairs to meet ADA standards
- 6 Mid-block crossings with curb extensions and/or refuge islands and flashing crosswalk lights
- Curbside parking and loading zones.
- 36 new trees
Additionally, the project added:
- 34,000 square yards of new asphalt pavement to extend the life of the road
- 32,000 square yards of sidewalk and concrete replacement
- 4,000 square yards of new bike lane
As a result, getting around is easier and more comfortable through increased safety for pedestrians and bicyclists, more efficient and convenient transit, and a more welcoming corridor with complete street design elements.

Background and Materials
The 2017 Transit Master Plan was an intensive process that closely evaluated how to make transit work better for people living and working in the City. Fundamentally we understand that as we grow, it’s important to provide choices in travel and reduce dependence on cars. We know that if done well, there are a lot of positive implications like public health, air quality, economic competitiveness, and quality of life. Of the 15 corridors evaluated, the Transit Master Plan recommended analysis of capital improvements on 4 east-west corridors, with the #1 recommendation being 200 South from Salt Lake Central to the University of Utah.
We are taking the first steps to fulfill the voter-approved mandate by rebuilding 200 South and implementing the Transit Master Plan. We are also incorporating aspects of other adopted plans and policies resulting from years of discussion and public input, like the Complete Streets Ordinance, Transportation Plans, Climate 2040 Plan, and more.
