Background
Wallace Stegner Academy currently lacks sidewalks connecting students to nearby neighborhoods. This project will add new sidewalks along the west side of Bending River Road and the north side of Indiana Avenue, creating safer walking routes to and from school.
The Indiana Avenue sidewalk will also be widened to support the future extension of the 9-Line Trail, which currently ends at Redwood Road. This will create a low-stress, multimodal connection from The Other Side Village to Salt Lake City’s protected bike network — enabling car-free travel to destinations across the city.
Design Concept
Funding
$1.2 million in CIP funding for the trail extension.
Timeline
Property owners along impacted sections of Bending River Road and Indiana Avenue will receive informational letters in April.
Construction is planned for 2025.
