Project Update: We have final street designs for 200 East!

We heard from local businesses and residents the need for more on-street parking while still accommodating vehicle mobility and increasing bicycle comfort and pedestrian-friendly areas. Based on feedback and street vehicle volumes, the new street design will have the following enhancements: 

  • Increased on-street parking by adding angled parking
  • Parking protected bicycle lanes going northbound (700 S to 900 S). Buffered bike lanes elsewhere.
  • High-visibility merge areas for bike lanes where there are right turns 
  • Maintaining vehicle flow

This resurfacing design is a significant transformation for 200 East—one that helps balance various needs—supporting local businesses and laying the foundation for future upgrades to keep this area a happening place.

When does street resurfacing start?

Our street resurfacing team doesn’t waste time! They will be starting the first stage of street treatments next week. Then over the next several weeks, striping and parking delineation will go in. Adjacent homes on 200 & 300 East, be on the lookout for door hanger notifications. You’ll receive those 24 hours in advance of any surface treatments. Follow us on Facebook and Twitter to stay up to date on the street resurfacing progress @SLCmoves.

What else is happening on 200 East?

Note that this change is part of a coordinated effort to develop a network of bike facilities adjacent to State Street per the Life on State Implementation: Bikeways Study. 200 East south of 900 South is a quiet residential street and is an ideal candidate for a Neighborhood Byway. No changes to the street or parking are planned; Neighborhood Byway treatments usually involve wayfinding and interventions at major cross streets to make crossings safer and intuitive. Implementation of Neighborhood Byway components will occur separately from the resurfacing project.

An even bigger change to 200 East is planned as part of the City’s Green Loop linear park system. Detailed planning and community engagement for the Green Loop will start in 2022, so the City is looking for near-term design strategies consistent with adopted plans that are compatible with the long-term Green Loop concept. As such, the segment from 600 South to 900 South is an opportunity to reallocate street space using pavement markings to establish buffered bike lanes that may later be adapted into the Green Loop design.
