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.

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

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. How do we measure it? • Interchange function for traffic • Interchange infrastructure • Freight route connectivity
