Maintain and Enhance the Link Among 600/700 North Corridor Neighborhoods and the Rest of Salt Lake City CONNECTIONS Goal 1 | Maintain and enhance the link among 600/700 North corridor neighborhoods and the rest of Salt Lake City. The plan will maintain and enhance the corridor’s connection of neighborhoods to one another and to the rest of the city, for all transportation modes. How do we measure it? • Traffic performance • Bike connections • Transit connections • Pedestrian connections Assets Challenges • Generally, very little traffic delay at most • Poor existing transit connections, especially intersections connecting to downtown Salt Lake City and • Low traffic volumes west of I-15 the east side of I-15 • Good amount of roadway and right-of-way • Inconsistent bike connection, including to improve connections for other modes across the I-15 interchange and viaduct • Curb-adjacent sidewalks in some segments PUBLIC FEEDBACK: Things people like and don’t like “Large sidewalks and bike lanes” “Traffic flows” “East to west” 2 1 “Wide and open” “Convenient” 56 comments The 600/700 North corridor often has a narrow sidewalk, inconsistent bike lane, and little transit service, but there is lots of space to provide for these modes. 6 comments Chart Title Chart “Getting over I-15 on foot, bike or scooter is nearly impossible at the moment” CONNECTIONS Goal 2 | Link people and neighborhoods across 600/700 North. Make 600/700 North a seam rather than a barrier, with a focus on frequent, well-placed, and high-quality pedestrian crossings. How do we measure it? • Crossing location: spacing and • Crossing quality: length and access to destinations amount of protection Assets Challenges • Regular signalized crossings for majority • Long crossings and a wide roadway of corridor – generally every quarter to • High traffic speeds half mile • Crossings not always at “desire lines” • Some marked crosswalks between the • Some longer ½ mile stretches without signals, in 800 West to Redwood Road marked/signalized crossings segment • Particularly poor crossings at Backman Elementary and Smith’s grocery store PUBLIC FEEDBACK: Things people like and don’t like “They are putting “Improved more lighted SUNSET DR Rosewood Park pedestrian crossing GENERAL DR DUPONT AVE 1300 N BECK ST VILLAGE PARK AVE VALENTINEST NEWMAN LIEUTENANT RD TRAFALGA WAY SCHOOL 1300 N 1300 W TALLY HO ST BUCCANEER DR SERGEANT DR crosswalks” SALT LAKE CENTER ST SONATA at 800 W” FOR SCIENCE SALT LAKE 900 W CATHERINE ST EDUCATION HEAD START 1500 W 1200 N SONATA ST SONATA 1300 W Westpointe GOODWIN AVE 1120 N GARNETTE ST CATHERINE ST Park 1400 W 1100 N 1200 W OAKLEY ST 1100 N COLORADO ST 1100 N OAKLEY ST VICTORIA WAY 1300 W VALENTINEST Chart Title SIR CHARLES DR 900 W OMNI DR 1400 W FLYER WAY FLYER 1000 N VICTORY RD DAUNTLESS AVE OMNI AVE 1000 N AMERICAN BEAUTY DR North ESCALANTE Gate Way TURIN DR ECLIPSE WAY Park 1300 W ROSE PARK CATHERINE ST SCHOOL OAKLEY ST SCHOOL DAY-RIVERSIDE COLORADO ST 1/2 MILE BUFFER LIBRARY STERLING DR 900 N 900 N CORNELL ST 900 N 900 N OAK TREE CT 900 N SAN FERNANDO DR DEBONAIR DR 1775 W MILAN DR POINSETTIA DR 500 W TALISMAN DR PINNOCCHIO DR TALISMAN DR STAR CRESTSTAR DR 1500 W MACFARLAND DR Warm ALPS WAY ST SONATA FIG TREE PL Springs 800 N Steenblik 1400 W Park Park 800 N 800 N 800 N 800 N 1/4 MILE BUFFER 1300 W PROSPERITY AVE “Safety IVY CIR WARM SPRINGS RD REED AVE REED AVE WALL ST PICTURE DR RAMBLER DR GRANT ST LEADVILLE AVE W 1200 700 N LAFAYETTE DR FERN AVE Riverside 715 N LAMARNE ST 700 N 700 N LAFAYETTE DR SIGNORA DR SIR JAMES DR Park 700 N SIR JAMES DR OAKLEY ST AUTUMN AVE 500 W PUGSLEY ST RAMBLER DR precautions SIR JEFFREY DR CLINTON AVE 10 NORTHWOOD AVE BACKMAN 600 N 600 N 600 N SCHOOL 600 N STOP 600CENTER N ST 1500 W ALL WAY CATHERINE ST RIVERSIDE DR comments DEXTER ST GIRARD AVE PUGSLEY ST GRANT ST COLORADO ST GIRARD AVE GIRARD AVE SIR ROBERT DR 1300 W OAKLEY ST MARMALADE 1400 W LIBRARY IRIE LN for children W 2200 500 N 500 N 500 N 500 N 500 N 1465 W TUTTLE CT Jackson Guadalupe Pugsley CT BALTIC Park Park Ouray Park MEADOWLARK HODGES LN CHICAGO ST SCHOOL OURAY AVE OURAY AVE OURAY AVE W 1100 OURAY AVE BISHOP PL 540 W KRESS CIR WASHINGTON 400 N HODGES LN 400 N 400 N SCHOOL 900 W 400 N crossing J 1000 W 400 N O R DA WALNUT DR N MARION ST GUNNELL PL 215 RIVE CLARK AVE APRICOT AVE Cottonwood 1000 W 15 ARDMORE PL QUINCE ST ARGYLE CT R 500 W PATRICIA WAY SIMONDI AVE SIMONDI AVE Almond Park PA Park R 800 W K NORTHSTAR DR W AY 200 W 300 W 300 N 400 W REDWOOD RD REDWOOD SPRING ST RENDON CT Fire HARVEST ST between the Station 700 W Tennis BLISS CT Constitution WEST QUINCE ST Park HOYT PL HIGH 280 N JACKSON 490 W 800 W SCHOOL CORNELL ST MOTOR AVE 210 N 1280 W 200 N 200 N 200 N ST SALT 1950 W LAXON CT 1340 W 1330 W 1320 W 1300 W 180 N SUN ARBOR TER 1460 W S L COMMUNITY GERTIE AVE 600 W school and Crossings HARDWARE AVE HIGH 23 JACKSON AVE Full Signal NORTH TEMPLE ST 700 W comments 2100 W Hybrid Beacon* CHICAGO ST WEST TEMPLE ST LEARNED AVE LEARNED AVE park.” RRFB* EMERIL AVE Madsen Marked Crosswalk* Park SOUTH TEMPLE ST SOUTH TEMPLE ST SOUTH TEMPLE ST STOP Four-way Stop ALL WAY JEREMY ST Potential Desired Crossing FOLSOM AVE 1000 W * Crossing beacon, signage, or 100 S marking is limited to one side ST NAVAJO of the intersection JEREMY ST 1400 W PUEBLO ST 0 0.125 0.25 0.5 0.75 1 EUCLID AVE 80 Miles “Not enough places People1 2 don’t 200 S for pedestrians to slow down or This map shows existing crossings for people on foot and bike, as cross.” pay attention. well as potential places for additonal or relocated crossings. “It feels wide and intimidating to cross.” CONNECTIONS Goal 3 | Maintain the corridor’s regional connections. The corridor’s regional connections include its freeway interchanges, freight routes, transit service, and trails. The plan will balance these regional considerations with neighborhood livability.

  • Salt Lake City Arts Council Strategic Plan
    2017-2020 Salt Lake City Arts Council Strategic Plan 2017-2020 Introduction The Salt Lake City Council on the Arts was formed in 1976 at the request of Mayor Ted Wilson, who appointed its first Executive Director. The Council was created to help distribute funds to arts organizations within the City, taking the burden off the City Commission. By 1979 a nonprofit entity, The Salt Lake Arts Council Foundation, was established to manage funds designated for the arts organization and also begin programming of their own. The two staff members of the Foundation were City employees. In 1981, this new group moved into the Art Barn, located in the City’s Reservoir Park, when the space was vacated by the Salt Lake Arts Center. From that initial beginning, the organization now has six full-time City employees who, together with the Foundation board, have grown the original concept into a significant cultural entity in the City. The Salt Lake City Arts Council is the City’s designated local arts agency and uses its unique position as manager of both public and received-grant resources to leverage how the arts are supported and presented to the City. Through its work, the Council has created enduring connections between the arts and the public, cultivated future artists and arts organizations, given voice to community arts conversations and needs, provided resources for arts programming, offered education about the arts as well as support of arts education efforts, and impacted City policy affecting the arts. It has developed its own programs, as well, that have endured for decades and serve as models for other arts programming.

  • Non-Mormon Presence in 1880S Utah
    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School College of Earth and Mineral Sciences THE WASP IN THE BEEHIVE: NON-MORMON PRESENCE IN 1880S UTAH A Thesis in Geography by Samuel A. Smith c 2008 Samuel A. Smith Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science August 2008 The thesis of Samuel A. Smith was read and approved1 by the following: Deryck W. Holdsworth Professor of Geography Thesis Adviser Roger Downs Professor of Geography Karl Zimmerer Professor of Geography Head of the Department of Geography 1. Signatures on file in the Graduate School. iii Abstract Recent studies have reconsidered the Mormon Culture Region in light of its 1880{1920 transition to American political and economic norms. While these studies emphasize conflicts between the Mormon establishment and the non-Mormon federal government, Mormon/non-Mormon relations within Utah have received little direct attention. Based on religious affiliations recorded in the 1880 federal census of Utah Territory, this study uses historical GIS to visualize the composition of Utah's \Mormon" and \non-Mormon" towns. The results highlight the extensive presence of religious minorities in Utah's settlements. Case studies of farm villages, mining camps, and urban neighborhoods probe the social and economic contexts of non-Mormon presence in Utah. These studies, based on Sanborn maps and city directories, explore the geographical mosaic of Mormon and non-Mormon residence and business activity. These variegated patterns, often absent from historical accounts of the region, enable localized analyses of the ensuing decades of cultural conflict, transformation and assimilation. Keywords: Mormons, non-Mormons, Mormon Culture Region, Utah, 1880 Cen- sus, historical demography.

  • Weber County to Salt Lake Commuter Rail Project; Salt Lake City, Utah
    FrontRunner North Rail Project Before-and-After Study (2013) Salt Lake City, Utah Learn more: www.transit.dot.gov/before-and-after-studies Weber County to Salt Lake Commuter Rail Project; Salt Lake City, Utah The Weber County to Salt Lake Commuter Rail Project, known as FrontRunner North, is a 44- mile commuter rail line extending north from downtown Salt Lake City through Ogden to the northern end of Weber County at Pleasant View, Utah. The project was planned, developed, and built by the Utah Transit Authority (UTA). FrontRunner North is the first commuter rail service in the Salt Lake City metropolitan area. UTA operates the commuter rail line as part of a region- wide transit system that includes local and express buses, bus rapid transit, and light rail. In early 2013, UTA opened FrontRunner South, a 40-mile extension of the commuter rail line extending south from downtown Salt Lake City to Orem, Utah. In September 2001, an alternatives analysis identified commuter rail in the north-south corridor as the preferred alternative for transit improvements in the corridor. The project entered preliminary engineering (PE) in December 2003, and advanced into final design (FD) in June 2005. UTA and FTA executed a Full Funding Grant Agreement (FFGA) for the project in June 2006. The project opened to service in May 2008. The accompanying figure is a map of FrontRunner North and the corridor it serves. Physical scope of the project The project extends over 44 miles from the Salt Lake Intermodal Center just west of downtown Salt Lake City to the northern terminus at the Pleasant View Station.
