Salt Lake City, WFRC, and UDOT are working on a plan to improve 500 South and 600 South. Guided by community input and data, the plan will suggest ways to make it easier and safer to travel through the area for all users.
Main Street Crosswalks
Salt Lake City is making Main Street safer with upgrades planned at key crosswalks between 900 South and 2100 South.
Indiana Ave 9-Line Extension & Bending River Road Sidewalks
New sidewalks are coming to Bending River Road and Indiana Avenue to improve safety for students walking to Wallace Stegner Academy and nearby neighborhoods. The project will also support a future 9-Line Trail extension, creating a low-stress connection to Salt Lake City’s bike network and The Other Side Village.
1300 East Gilmer Drive Crosswalk
Salt Lake City is installing a HAWK signal at 1300 East and Gilmer Drive to improve safety and accessibility for people walking and biking as part of the 9 Line Trail extension. This crossing will help connect neighborhoods to Sunnyside Park, the Bonneville Shoreline Trail, and other east bench destinations.
Foothill Drive Safety Improvements
During Summer 2025, Salt Lake City will construct traffic safety improvements on four minor intersections along Foothill Drive.
300 West Bikeway (900 South to 400 South)
