Overview
The 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 build 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.

Frequently asked questions
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.
