Overview

The project team is analyzing 1000 West from North Temple to 600 North to determine if there are opportunities to leverage the resurfacing opportunity to make changes recommended by the Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan. In the coming months, the project team will communicate with residents and the Community Council about our findings as well as ways for the public to comment on potential striping changes. Residents and the Community Council will be told in advance about any planned changes to striping.

Background

Currently, 1000 West is a four-lane road with a continuous center turn lane and bike lanes. In 2020 the City received feedback about the street from residents, which indicated a strong interest in repurposing excessive street space to slow traffic and improve bicycling and walking safety.

Draft Designs

The project team released the following draft striping plans for this section of 1000 West:

Project Update

After receiving more feedback from the community and upon further discussions, we have decided to keep the striping as is for now and engage with the community to develop a more robust plan for 1000 West. The 1000 West “mini-corridor study” will allow Salt Lake City to engage with all stakeholders, including the State Fair Park, residents, and Community Council, whom expressed support for creating a shared vision for the street. We are hopeful the process will result in meaningful changes that go beyond basic pavement markings. Learn more about the 1000 West Mini Corridor Study here.
