Overview

Salt Lake City Transportation Division works hand in hand with Westside communities, including Ballpark, Fairpark, Glendale, Poplar Grove, Rose Park, and Westpointe, to design and implement transportation projects to improve everyday life. Many of these needed investments are possible through Salt Lake City’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP) – a multi-year planning program of capital expenditures needed to replace or expand the City’s public infrastructure.

Salt Lake City welcomes community input on projects, transportation concerns, and approaches to public engagement. We love talking to community members about our work, and look forward to seeing you at meetings and events throughout the year.

Westside transportation projects

400 South Viaduct Trail

The 400 South trail from 900 West to 200 West will offer a safe path for walking and biking, with art to enhance the experience.

Livable Streets

Livable Streets is a community-driven program that helps calm traffic on Salt Lake City’s neighborhood streets so they’re safer and more enjoyable.

300 North Reconstruction

Salt Lake City is rebuilding 300 North with new pavement, sidewalks, bike lanes, and safety upgrades, with construction underway through 2025.

600/700 North Reconstruction

Salt Lake City is rebuilding 600/700 North from 800 West to Redwood Road through 2026.

Neighborhood Byways

Neighborhood Byways are a growing network of low-traffic streets that make it safer and easier to walk, bike, and roll around the city.

West-East Connections Study

Salt Lake City is studying how to reconnect the Westside across barriers like I-15 and rail lines using community input to shape the solutions.

California Ave Pedestrian Safety Study

The City is improving crossings on California Avenue to support safer walking near schools and neighborhood streets.

9-Line extension and Bending River Rd sidewalks

New sidewalks on Bending River Road and Indiana Ave will improve walkability and extend the 9-Line Trail.

400 South safety improvements

New safety features on 400 South—like curb extensions and flashing signs— make crossings safer near Goshen St and 1000 West.

Crosswalk improvements

Safer, more visible crosswalks help make walking in Salt Lake City easier and more accessible.

Wingate Walkway

This project will build a shared path connecting Jordan Meadows to areas east of Redwood Road and the Jordan River Parkway Trail.

1700 South Corridor Project

Improved crossings and connections are coming to 1700 South, linking neighborhoods with parks and other neighborhood destinations.

Frequently asked questions

Why do each of these projects need to happen now?

Salt Lake City recognizes the challenges that each of these projects may cause to residents and businesses, but we also need to plan for and upgrade the transportation infrastructure to ensure it meets the current and future needs of the community.

What have Salt Lake City and partners done to address transportation equity on the Westside?

In 2020, Salt Lake City and its partners, Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT), Utah Transit Authority (UTA), Wasatch Front Regional Council (WFRC), and others initiated a Westside Transportation Equity Study to address a lack of transportation equity in Salt Lake City’s Westside neighborhoods. Ultimately, the study sought to address how the City and its partners can more equitably meet the diverse needs of all community members.
