20 MPH Local Streets Initiative
In June 2022, the Salt Lake City Council adopted an ordinance lowering the local speed limit. The ordinance impacted approximately 420 miles or 70% of the City’s public streets. Replacing the approximately 575 signs from 25 to 20 miles per hour continued into August 2022.
500 North Traffic Calming

Folsom Trail Project
More than 10 years in the making, the Folsom Trail will help bridge east-west connections in Salt Lake City. This 10 foot wide path was designed to be safe for all ages and all abilities – to walk, bike, and more. This is a vital connector for our neighborhoods and our businesses.
Emigration Creek Trail Connector
The Emigration Creek Trail Connector is a proposed paved, shared use pathway that would provide opportunities for utilitarian and recreational trips on foot and by bicycle between Wasatch Drive, Foothill Drive, and Sunnyside Avenue (depending on alignment) in the area near Bonneville Golf Course.
