Bluffdale/ UDOT – 14600 South High-T IntersectionProject Type – Operations

14600 South and Redwood Road

This project is to install a new High-T intersection at Redwood Road and 14600 South where the City is planning to extend 14600 South. Currently,

the intersection of 14400 South and Redwood Road is functioning at a level service F and has large delays and significant safety issues due to

the poor sight distance and geometry of the 14400 South and its connection to 1690 West and Loumis Parkway being less than 300 feet.

Project Cost –$ 600,000

Funds Request –$ 550,000

Presenter

Presentation Notes

The intersection of Redwood Road / 14400 South during the evening peak hour has a queue of over 3,000 feet in length. Vehicles can wait in this queue for over 10 minutes. This is largely caused by the distance between Redwood Road and 1690 West. There is not sufficient distance between the two roadways for adequate queueing and storage. The realignment of 14600 South will construct a new intersection at Redwood Road with more queueing available without blocking downstream intersections. The new intersection will be a HI-T which are typically more efficient and thus will be more suited to handle the traffic demands. With the realignment of 14600 South and new intersection at Redwood Road, queueing from Redwood Road will be drastically reduced.

Bluffdale City – 14600 South Sidewalk and Bike LanesProject Type – Bike and Ped

Redwood Road to Railroad Bridge

14600 South is a main east/west thorough way in Bluffdale City. The section of roadway between Redwood Road and the railroad trestle consists of two travel lanes with limited curb, sidewalk and gutter. To

improve the level of service the City intends to widen the roadway, add bicycle lanes and sidewalk, curb and gutter. This will help accommodate a wide range of users and provide a safe mode of transport for pedestrians.

The addition of the bicycle lanes will promote outdoor activities and decrease automobile pollution.

Project Cost –$ 1,142,000

Funds Request –$ 1,064,687

Presenter

Presentation Notes

14600 South is a Minor Arterial which connects Redwood Road to eastern Salt Lake County. The improvements include widening the pavement, adding sidewalk, curb and gutter along with bicycle lanes. It will provide much improved pedestrian access to the Jordan River trail system and Redwood Road. With the eventual relocation of the Prison this improvement will create a multimodel travel route that will add safety and increase the level of service along 14600 South. The Regional Transportation Plan currently includes 14600 South east of the railroad trestle but does not include 14600 South West of the trestle. The City is working with WFRC to include the western portion of 14600 South in the long range plan.

Bluffdale City – 14600 South Railroad BridgeProject Type – Study

14600 South and Union Pacific Railroad Structure



Perform an engineering study of alternatives to replace the existing one-lane railroad crossing on 14600 South with a crossing that meets future geometry and aligns with 14600

South.

Presenter

Presentation Notes

As development in the southern end of the valley continues, traffic levels on 14600 S between I-15 and Redwood Road will continue to increase. On 14600 South at approximately 1000 W is a narrow and low clearance one-lane road crossing under the railroad with sharp horizontal curves on both sides. For years this underpass was controlled by stop signs but recently a signal has been installed to help control traffic. The intersection often experiences traffic backups due to accidents, trucks getting stuck and the one lane road not being adequate to support the amount of traffic. Solutions would be studied to increase the road capacity in this area to three or five lanes, allow for semi-truck traffic, and reduce congestion. The study will evaluate the alternatives of 14600 South going over and under the railroad tracks.

Bluffdale/ UDOT – Pony Express RealignmentProject Type – Reconstruction

Pony Express Road / PR Blvd

Realign Pony Express Road in Bluffdale to connect to Porter Rockwell Blvd. instead of 14600 South at the I-15 interchange. This will eliminate

the existing Y-Intersection and divert most traffic accessing the I-15 interchange from the frontage road to Porter Rockwell Blvd.



Presenter

Presentation Notes

The proposed connection road has been identified on Bluffdale city's Transportation Plan as an important connector. It will redirect traffic from the frontage road and trucks from the nearby gravel pits to Porter Rockwell Boulevard and eliminate the existing dangerous Y-intersection. In the future, increased development and traffic congestion will likely cause the current intersection at Pony Express Rd and 14600 S to become a right-in right-out only, similar to other frontage roads adjacent to I-15 interchagnes. This connection road would facilitate this future improvement to the interchange and maintain the connection to I-15 by way of Porter Rockwell Blvd.

Cottonwood Heights – Highland Drive – ReconstructionProject Type – Reconstruction

The purpose of this project is primarily a pavement rehabilitation project milling off 6 inches of asphalt and an overlay of 6 inches on the existing pavement. This project also includes the construction of ADA ramps and

sidewalks to improve pedestrian access.

I-215 to Bengal Blvd



Presenter

Presentation Notes

Highland Drive is a major arterial roadway connecting multiple surrounding cities with Interstate 215. It is a regionally signifcant roadway with over 55,000 cars per day. The city has been maintaining the roadway as part of its pavement management plan, with last receving a chip seal in 2011. Based on geotech cores, the existing pavement is approx. 10-12 inches thick and the roadway base is in acceptable condition. A 6-inch rotomill and overlay with pavement fabric is the best roadway reconstruction opinion for the roadway. This roadway is a vital part of the transportation backbone for residents of Cottonwood Heights, Sandy City, Draper City, and Salt Lake County.

Draper – 1300 East – Reconstruction & Minor WideningProject Type - Reconstruction

Wayne’s World Drive to Nashi Lane

Reconstruct and widen 1300 East to provide a continuous 3 lane section with shoulders/bike lanes, curb, gutter, and sidewalks, and improve the function of the intersection at Wayne's World Drive

(13800 South).



Presenter

Presentation Notes

This segment is the last remaining portion of 1300 East that has only two lanes despite being one of Draper City's primary north-south throughfares. In recent years it has experienced increased peak hour traffic congestion incidents. The project will add a center turn lane which is needed to improve traffic flow and safety. The project will also add sidewalks which are needed on both sides of the street as this is a safe walking route for two middle schools and an elementary school. Curb and gutter will also be installed to improve drainage on 1300 East. Widening 1300 East will provide enough width to add a channelized merge lane to receive left turns from Wayne's World Drive and provide a protected through lane for through northbound traffic on 1300 East. This will eliminate the need for a stop sign on that leg and improve flow through the intersection.

Draper – Lone Peak Parkway – WideningProject Type - Capacity

12650 South to 12300 South

Lone Peak Parkway is a north/south minor arterial just west of I-15. Currently, Lone Peak Pkwy begins at the northern limits of Draper City at

11400 South and terminates at Golden Harvest Rd. The project under this request will reconstruct 0.4 miles of the existing road from 12650 S to

12300 S. This section has problematic geometry and is not wide enough to accommodate the planned 5-lane section. Lone Peak Pkwy is identified in

the WFRC Regional Transportation Plan.



Presenter

Presentation Notes

The existing 0.4 mile segment of Lone Peak Parkway from 12650 South to 12300 South is located in a very busy and rapidly growing area of Draper. Lone Peak Parkway is a critical north-south arterial for Draper City. Once fully connected, it will serve as the City's only arterial spanning from 11400 South to Bangerter Highway west of the freeway. The existing alignment of this 0.4 mile section causes problems for safety as well as capacity. This project will realign the road to fix the existing 90 degree bend, and widen it to a 5-lane cross section improved with bike lanes, curb and gutter, park strips, and sidewalks. Lone Peak Parkway is identified as a Phase 2 Highway Project in the WFRC Regional Transportation Plan. Draper City has already commenced right of way acquisitions on this project and intends to complete all needed acquisitions separate from this funding request.

Magna Metro Township – 8000 West – SidewalkProject Type – Bike and Ped


Construct sidewalk, curb and gutter on the west side of 8000 West from the existing sidewalk at about 2600 South to the 3100 South

intersection.



Presenter

Presentation Notes

8000 West is a major collector that services the Magna community and provides connectivity to West Valley from SR-201. This section of roadway is currently striped as a two lane facility with full improvements on the east side. The west side is developed, but does not have improvements for most of this section. The road provides connectivity to schools and churches but lacks safe pedestrian access. The lack of a center median forces vehicles to stop behind drivers making left turn movements while in the through lanes. This roadway is also a power corridor with unprotected poles along the shoulder. There are full improvements both north and south of this section of road that would be connected. This roadway is also part of the Active Transportation Improvement Plan. The Magna community requests funding to create a safer passage for multi-modal forms of transportation by completing improvements along all the developed areas of this roadway.

Millcreek City – 3300 South Sidewalk SafetyProject Type – Bike and Ped

2600 East to 2700 East

Construct sidewalk, curb and gutter on the north side of 3300 S. There is little to no shoulder and pedestrians are often seen walking in the travel lane. Sidewalk here is identified as a critical need in the Walk

Millcreek Plan (2015) and 3300 S Sidewalk Safety Study (2016).



Presenter

Presentation Notes

There is no sidewalk on the north side of 3300 South (U 171) from 2300 E to 2700 E. The Walk Millcreek Study, completed in 2015, and the 3300 South Sidewalk Safety Study both identified sidewalk in this area as a high priority. There is little to no shoulder area for pedestrians for much of the length, forcing pedestrians to walk in the right westbound travel lane. There is a bus stop at the eastern end of the project which currently has no sidewalk either east or west of it. UDOT Safe Sidewalk and Millcreek City funds will be used to construct sidewalk east of 2700 East in 2018 and sidewalk to the west of 2600 East and continuing down 3300 South to 2300 East is a high priority for future funding considerations.

Millcreek and Holladay Cities – 3900 South ImprovementsProject Type – Reconstruction

2300 East to Wasatch Blvd

Create a safer environment for all users including the construction of curb, gutter, sidewalk, ADA ramp, enhanced bus stops, a bicycle facility, lighting and the relocation of utility poles out of asphalt,

eliminate open ditch and pipe irrigation/storm drainage along 3900 South from 2300 East to Wasatch Blvd.



Presenter

Presentation Notes

3900 South is the last continuous East-West active transportation corridor between Redwood Road and Wasatch Blvd in Salt Lake County. This project is co-supported by Millcreek and Holladay City. This section of roadway has intermittent sidewalk, utility poles in the asphalt shoulder, open irrigation/Storm Drain ditch, and no bicycle facility, all of which creates an unsafe transportation environment. By developing improvements for continuous sidewalk, dedicated bike lanes per ATIP, and enhanced UTA bus stops, it is anticipated that active transportation will grow significantly along the corridor. Improvements will be constructed within existing rights of way. Existing sidewalk meeting current safety standards will be incorporated into the design. This project may be reduced in scope to whatever funding level is available.

Murray City – Winchester and 700 West IntersectionProject Type – Operations

700 West and Winchester Street

The purpose of this project is to improve safety and operation of the intersection by replacing an aging signal, widening lanes for right turns

while improving curve radii and improving pedestrian access.



Presenter

Presentation Notes

The intersection and signal has not seen an upgrade in over 20 years. The intersection includes two school crossings and pedestrian access not to current standards. Increasing the width and adding right turns will also allievate congestion for a section of Murray/Midvale that has seen expansive growth in the last 5 years. The intersection currently operates at a LOS D. In addition to the widening, curb radii will also be improved. Improvements will be constructed within existing rights of way. Existing sidewalk meeting current safety standards will be incorporated into the design. This project may be reduced in scope to whatever funding level is available.

Salt Lake City – 1300 East Reconstruction Segment 2Project Type - Reconstruction2100 South to Southern Boundary

This project encompasses pavement improvements for this deteriorated street, including removal and replacement of the

pavement, curb and gutter, and pedestrian improvements. This project will incorporate Complete Streets concepts to make pedestrian,

bicycle, & transit safety improvements.



Presenter

Presentation Notes

1300 East is an essential north/south arterial street connecting the University of Utah to I-80, Westminster College, Brickyard Plaza, and neighborhoods on the east side of Salt Lake valley. From Highland to the southern city border, this project will improve the pavement surface, 70 year old curb / gutter, removing pipe drive approaches, and cross slope to reduce future street maintenance costs, improve street appearance, and improve driver, pedestrian, and bicyclist safety. The City has recently replaced sidewalks and accessibility ramps, added intersection pedestrian countdown timers and push buttons, and installed mid-block HAWK signals. All intersections will be evaluated for potential ITS upgrades. Funding will also be used between 2100 S and the City line to integrate neighborhood pedestrian/bicycle connections, improve transit stops, evaluate and possibly incorporate green infrastructure techniques, and bring the street up to current standards.

Salt Lake County – Emigration Canyon Retaining WallsProject Type – Safety

4877 East to 5646 East

An Emigration Canyon hazard study was completed in 2016, identifying safety issues in the canyon. The County is in the process

of spending $1.0M to address some of these issues. However, additional funding is necessary to construct two retaining walls the

report identifies as top safety priorities.



Presenter

Presentation Notes

Emigration Canyon is a unique road in the manner it services residents, commuters, cyclists and recreational users. Our bicycle counts in the past, as well as field observations, suggests that the cyclists use this road as much as the motorists during the "good" weather months. This roadway is used extensively for circuit training for cyclists and has been part of the Tour of Utah as well as a training facility for local, national and international cyclists. The County has stepped up maintenance in recent years to accomodate cyclists and is currently in the process of spending $1.0M to improve drainage and install rock fall barriers along several of the smaller slope cuts. A study completed in 2016 identifies locations where slope protection is recommended. These funds are necessary to construct retaining walls at two locations of primary concern from this study.The type of regional facility and recognition it receives makes this project stand out above the rest.

Salt Lake County – Galaxie Drive & 1300 East - IntersectionProject Type – Intersections & Signals


Unincorporated Salt Lake County is requesting at Galaxie Drive/1300 East a signal to improve safety and the function of the intersection in

Salt Lake County/ West Valley/ Kearns – 4700 South – Recon. w/ Minor WidenProject Type – Reconstruction

4000 West to 5600 West

The project is needed to meet capacity needs, by improving capacity at the intersections, railroad crossings, reconstructing and widening

canal bridges, and to reconstruct the existing pavement with its various deficiencies.



Presenter

Presentation Notes

4700 South is a principle arterial in West Valley City and Kearns, running from I-215 East at 3200 East to 6400 West, connecting to I-215 on the west side, with an ADT of 25,000. This segment of roadway is in disrepair, with very poor pavement conditions, in 2012 the project was awarded funds under the STP program, which later became apparent during the environmental document preparation that funding is insufficient to reconstruct the roadway to the extent of the original scope. This application is being placed requesting additional funding to enable the reconstruction of the project, along with the addition of an eastbound lane from 4000 West to 4800 West.

Sandy City – Automall Drive RoundaboutProject Type – Intersection

11000 South

Sandy City/JUB completed a modeling analysis of AutomallDr. from 11000 South to State St in August of 2017. The goal

of the analysis was to examine existing conditions and provide improvement recommendations. An additional lane

in each direction and a roundabout at the Costco intersection was the recommended proposal.



Presenter

Presentation Notes

The Saturday peak hour delay along Automall Dr. from 11000 S. to State St. currently sits at 202.7 hours. This will increase by year 2024 to 314.4 hours without any improvements, and will experience substantial increases by 2040. Adding two lanes will decrease the 2024 projected hours by 20. The current LOS at the Automall Dr. Costco/Wadsworth intersection is C. Without any improvements by year 2024, the LOS becomes F. When the Wadsworth development creates a new full access (currently under construction) at this intersection, it will become increasingly difficult to make any east/west movement. Constructing a roundabout will help facilitate these movements, decreasing queuing and delay, and improving the LOS to level B. Several improvement options were explored in the Modeling Analysis. The roundabout and widening option is explained to be the best solution. A signal was not considered due to the close proximity to the 11000 South signalized intersection.

South Jordan City – 1000 West – Reconstruct w/ Minor WideningProject Type – Reconstruction


Reconstruct roadway with minor widening to 3-lanes, including center turn lane. Also curb & gutter, sidewalk, park strips, shoulder pavement, and if necessary, streetlights and

utilities.



Presenter

Presentation Notes

Traffic is increasing on this roadway and there are sections on both sides of the roadway that does not have curb, gutter, sidewalk, and shoulder pavement. In addition, because there is new development that accesses this roadway, there is a need for a center turn lane. The City built a new fire station last year on the south end of this roadway and this road is a direct route to the residential areas north of the station.

South Salt Lake – 700 West – Reconstruct & Minor WideningProject Type - Reconstruction

3300 South to Carlisle Street (3655 South)

700 West is a collector road that serves residential areas, the County Jail, the UTA headquarters, and other light industrial businesses. 700 West

carries a high volume of trucks, causing accelerating pavement deterioration. This project will replace the failing asphalt pavement with

concrete pavement, and upgrade pedestrian and drainage facilities by filling in sidewalk, curb and gutter; and add bike lanes.



Presenter

Presentation Notes

700 West is an important north-south collector with access to I-15 at 3300 South for light industrial businesses, residents, the Salt Lake County Jail, and UTA bus maintenance facility. Heavy loads imposed by the high volume of bus and truck traffic have caused accelerated pavement deterioration of the existing asphalt pavement. The pavement must be replaced with a new concrete pavement better suited to higher AADTs and frequent truck traffic. As part of this reconstruction, the project will fill in gaps in the curb and gutter improving drainage; add sidewalk and street lighting making corridor safer and more pedestrian friendly; stripe bike lanes. As an added benefit, these improvements will facilitate access to existing transit along 700 West and at 3300 South and Carlisle Street (3655 South). This is part of a two phase project that will improve 700 West from 3300 South to 3900 South for a total cost of $8,201,440.

Taylorsville City – 1780 BRT Connector RoadProject Type - TransitBruin Blvd to 4700 South

The Murray-Taylorsville-West Valley BRT project is a critical regional and local transit project for Salt Lake Valley. The Transit project’s purpose is to

provide a reliable, efficient transit system and connection between the Murray Central TRAX and FrontRunner stations, Taylorsville, Salt Lake

Community College and the West Valley Central TRAX Station. As part of the overall BRT project 1780 W will allow the BRT to better access SLCC

Sandy has worked on preliminary engineering for this intersection. This project is a choke point solution and the next step in completing the Monroe street master plan, part of the Cairns District Plan.

UTA – University of Utah Hospital Stop ExpansionProject Type – Transit

U of U Bus Bays

The U of U is a large transit trip generator in Salt Lake City and the Hospital is one of the most used stops. Currently there are limited bays

for buses. This project would extend bays and allow more buses to serve the area simultaneously.



Presenter

Presentation Notes

The University Hospital is one of the most used stops in the UTA system with over 600 boardings per day on 8 routes. The stop is used by employees and patients of the hospital. Both UTA buses and campus shuttles serve this area. Given the number of buses servicing the hospital there are some capacity problems. Specifically, there is limited space for buses in the drop off/layover area and loading zone. More buses than space allows causes congestion in a highly trafficked area. The project would be to extend the existing bus bays, allowing more buses to pull out of the traffic lane and serve this key location. Additionally, passenger amenities would be added at the loading zone. Amenities, include shelters, benches and potentially passenger information. The proposed improvements are consistent with the University Campus Master Plan.

West Jordan – 7000 South & 1500 West – New ConstructionProject Type – Bicycle and Pedestrian

Pedestrian Bridge



Heartland Elementary School needs to have a pedestrian bridge for the safety of children crossing 7000 South, which is slated to expand from its present 4 lane configuration to a 7 lane configuration in the future. This project will salvage a bridge span from 10600 South and

1300 West to save on project costs.

Presenter

Presentation Notes

This project improves safety and improves the traffic flow for a very important arterial in the community. This location averages over 250 pedestrian crossings an hour in during peak times. During these crossings traffic must stop and wait. Lights currently alert traffic to a potential crossing but these are only activated during peak times. During off peak hours pedestrians are forced to cross the street without the aid of crossing guards or a light. The bridge would allow traffic to flow freely and provide pedestrians with a safe crossing over the arterial street.

West Jordan – 7000 South – Environmental Impact StatementProject Type - Study



1300 West to Bangerter Highway (SR-154)

Presently there are 25,000 plus vehicles per day that use this important east -west arterial street. This traffic is projected to grow to up to 50,000 vehicles per day. This project will complete the NEPA documentation process to allow the future widening of 7000 South

from an existing 4 and 5 lane roadway to a full 5 to 7 lanes with shoulders from 1300 West to SR-154.

Presenter

Presentation Notes

The project will complete the NEPA documentation process to allow the future widening of 7000 South from an existing 4 and 5 lane roadway to a full 5 to 7 lanes with shoulders from 1300 West to RS-154. This project will complete an important east-west link across the valley connect important regional facilities such as U-111, MVC, SR-154, and I-15. Water, sewer, and storm drain utilties will be placed at City cost. All NEPA issues will be addressed. This project will allow full flow of the East-West traffic for the west half of the Salt Lake Valley from I-15 to Bangerter Highway, and is a key element of the Regional Transportation Plan.

West Jordan – 8600 South Bridge over MVC – New Construction Project Type – Capacity5600 West to 6000 West

8600 South is a major collector street on the west side of the Salt Lake Valley, and is projected to carry 15,000 to 25,000 VPD by the year 2030. This crossing connects to Ron Wood Park, a

regional park for the entire west half of the City of West Jordan, serving approximately 50,000 residents. A major recreation center ($45 to $50 million) is slated to be built within this park in the next few years. This bridge is the essential connector for that project, and will provide

the connectivity for existing residents living west of the MVC.



Presenter

Presentation Notes

This project is a joint effort between the City of West Jordan, Salt Lake County, and the Utah Department of Transportation. The project is timely due the increase in traffic and home building in the area, and for the development plans of a $45-50 million West Jordan Recreation Center in Ron Wood Park. Efforts are under way with the development community to preserve the right of way. This project will provide only the third access point for east west travel to an area with a current population of 15,000 and a projected growth of 50,000 population.

West Valley – Parkway Blvd. (2700 South) - WideningProject Type – New Capacity

Parkway Blvd is a collector between Magna and WVC, with 13,000 vpd. The road consists of a two-lane section with no shoulder/median. After the extension of Mountain View Corridor (MVC) to 5400 S.; 6400 W. to Parkway Blvd became a popular alternative route to SR-201 over 5600 W. In 2019, as part of the next phase of construction for MVC a half

Mountain View Corridor to 6400 West

Presenter

Presentation Notes

Parkway Blvd is a collector between Magna and WVC, with 13,000 vpd. The road consists of a two-lane section with no shoulder/median. In recent years it has seen and will continue to see an increase in traffic for assorted reasons. After the extension of Mountain View Corridor (MVC) to 5400 S.; 6400 W. to Parkway Blvd became a popular alternative route to SR-201 over 5600 W. A large development between 6400 W. and 7200 W. & SR-201 and 2540 S. has also increased demand. In 2019, UDOT will build a half-interchange at Parkway Blvd and MVC during the next phase of construction, creating additional need for added capacity. West Valley City is proactive in acquiring right-of-way with corridor preservation funds, in addition to close coordination with the UDOT Mountain View Corridor team. The additional capacity on will provide congestion relief to an important collector on the west side of the valley, and will improve mobility for residents and emergency services.

UDOT – Connected Vehicle InfrastructureProject Type – ATMS or ITS

Salt Lake City – Metro Area

Connected Vehicles are about to fundamentally alter traffic management capabilities by allowing the communication of vehicles to vehicles and vehicles

to infrastructure via short range radio. This initial project will continue to develop connected vehicle technology using vehicle to infrastructure systems to help maintain bus schedules. This technique is intended to allow a bus that is behind schedule to request an extended green light cycle in order to help

the bus maintain schedule.



Presenter

Presentation Notes

Connected Vehicles are the future and evolution for the use of high technology in transportation. The Current Director of Transportation, Mr. Calrlos Braceras has made a priority of advancing connected and automous vehicles technology along with decreased travel times within the urban areas. This project creates a pathway to obtain those priorities and benefits urban Air Quality simultaneously. It is known that decreasing vehicle idle time at traffic signals improves air quality and, is one of the prime objectives within the field of Traffic Operations. The Vehicle to Infrastructure system that is being proposed advances the Director's objectives while providing an air quality benefit by allowing buses to pass through signal controlled interstections if needed to hold schedule and reducing idle time for buses.
