APPENDIX A – SURVEY RESULTS APPENDIX B – ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION PROJECT INFORMATION SHEETS APPENDIX C – CITY PROJECT COST ESTIMATES APPENDIX D – CHANGES IN 2019 TMP UPDATE Bluffdale Transportation Plan 1 INTRODUCTION The Bluffdale Long-Range Transportation Plan was made possible through the Wasatch Front Regional Council (WFRC) Transportation Land Use Connection (TLC) program, and it is intended to guide the City of Bluffdale to achieve its goal of providing a transportation system that promotes safe and productive transportation options for the community. This plan will begin by discussing the current conditions of Bluffdale and its transportation system. This will include the city’s demographics, land-use context, transportation infrastructure, connections to nearby communities, and Bluffdale’s transportation system (e.g., traffic and safety). Next, the results of recent public involvement efforts will be presented and analyzed to establish the concerns and preferences of Bluffdale residents regarding future conditions. Finally, the plan will outline and discuss recommendations for meeting the city’s transportation system objectives. While this plan focuses on vehicle and transit modes of transportation, it also places emphasis on active transportation, which includes walking and bicycling. Active transportation is an important consideration in a transportation plan because there will always be those who rely on walking or bicycling as a means of travel. Including active transportation in this plan may also have economic benefits because such considerations make the city safer and appealing to present and potential residents.

When one stops dreaming one might as well die, for Imagine a world where everyone is free to responsibly seek truth there is nothing for which living is more worthy than one’s imagination.” and meaning; where they are encouraged to explore new ideas, seek – author Odie Henderson understanding and celebrate the worth and dignity of every person. Salt Lake County residents discover that world when they walk through the doors of their local county library. IMAGINE The possibility that excites my imagination is the potential to influence the lives of hundreds of thousands of people throughout the Salt Lake valley. Over 4.5 million people walk through our doors annually, and millions more throughout the world come into contact with us by using our web services. The opportunity to inspire so many imaginations, satisfy curiosities and awaken minds to new possibilities is enormous. As people share their discoveries, the influence of the library ripples out to impact whole communities. Along with the great opportunity to touch so many lives, comes responsibility to explore the question, “What makes a public library great?” especially in a rapidly changing world of new technologies, shifting economies and information overload.

  • Meet the Jordan River: an Ecological Walk Along the Riparian Zone
    Meet the Jordan River: An Ecological Walk Along the Riparian Zone A riparian zone, like the one you're walking along today, is the interface between land and a river or stream. Plant habitats and communities along the river margins and banks are called riparian vegetation, and are characterized by hydrophilic (“water loving”) plants. Riparian zones are significant in ecology, environmental management, and civil engineering because of their role in soil conservation, habitat biodiversity, and the influence they have on fauna and aquatic ecosystems, including grassland, woodland, and wetlands. 1. “Education Tree” 2.

  • Nutrient Dynamics in the Jordan River and Great
    NUTRIENT DYNAMICS IN THE JORDAN RIVER AND GREAT SALT LAKE WETLANDS by Shaikha Binte Abedin A thesis submitted to the faculty of The University of Utah in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering The University of Utah August 2016 Copyright © Shaikha Binte Abedin 2016 All Rights Reserved The University of Utah Graduate School STATEMENT OF THESIS APPROVAL The thesis of Shaikha Binte Abedin has been approved by the following supervisory committee members: Ramesh K. Goel , Chair 03/08/2016 Date Approved Michael E. Barber , Member 03/08/2016 Date Approved Steven J. Burian , Member 03/08/2016 Date Approved and by Michael E. Barber , Chair/Dean of the Department/College/School of Civil and Environmental Engineering and by David B. Kieda, Dean of The Graduate School. ABSTRACT In an era of growing urbanization, anthropological changes like hydraulic modification and industrial pollutant discharge have caused a variety of ailments to urban rivers, which include organic matter and nutrient enrichment, loss of biodiversity, and chronically low dissolved oxygen concentrations. Utah’s Jordan River is no exception, with nitrogen contamination, persistently low oxygen concentration and high organic matter being among the major current issues. The purpose of this research was to look into the nitrogen and oxygen dynamics at selected sites along the Jordan River and wetlands associated with Great Salt Lake (GSL). To demonstrate these dynamics, sediment oxygen demand (SOD) and nutrient flux experiments were conducted twice through the summer, 2015. The SOD ranged from 2.4 to 2.9 g-DO m-2 day-1 in Jordan River sediments, whereas at wetland sites, the SOD was as high as 11.8 g-DO m-2 day-1.

  • Native Unionoida Surveys, Distribution, and Metapopulation Dynamics in the Jordan River-Utah Lake Drainage, UT
    Version 1.5 Native Unionoida Surveys, Distribution, and Metapopulation Dynamics in the Jordan River-Utah Lake Drainage, UT Report To: Wasatch Front Water Quality Council Salt Lake City, UT By: David C. Richards, Ph.D. OreoHelix Consulting Vineyard, UT 84058 email: [email protected] phone: 406.580.7816 May 26, 2017 Native Unionoida Surveys and Metapopulation Dynamics Jordan River-Utah Lake Drainage 1 One of the few remaining live adult Anodonta found lying on the surface of what was mostly comprised of thousands of invasive Asian clams, Corbicula, in Currant Creek, a former tributary to Utah Lake, August 2016. Summary North America supports the richest diversity of freshwater mollusks on the planet. Although the western USA is relatively mollusk depauperate, the one exception is the historically rich molluskan fauna of the Bonneville Basin area, including waters that enter terminal Great Salt Lake and in particular those waters in the Jordan River-Utah Lake drainage. These mollusk taxa serve vital ecosystem functions and are truly a Utah natural heritage. Unfortunately, freshwater mollusks are also the most imperiled animal groups in the world, including those found in UT. The distribution, status, and ecologies of Utah’s freshwater mussels are poorly known, despite this unique and irreplaceable natural heritage and their protection under the Clean Water Act. Very few mussel specific surveys have been conducted in UT which requires specialized training, survey methods, and identification. We conducted the most extensive and intensive survey of native mussels in the Jordan River-Utah Lake drainage to date from 2014 to 2016 using a combination of reconnaissance and qualitative mussel survey methods.
