To aid in selecting projects to implement from our master plans (listed below), this multi-year list of projects helps City officials apply objective criteria related to equity, sustainability, governance, and safety.

Livable Streets Program ↗

The Salt Lake City Council allocated one-time seed funding into the Fiscal Year 2019-2020 budget for a traffic calming pilot program and asked that the Administration develop recommendations on how to reinstate a traffic calming program for the City.
