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. How do we measure it? • Interchange function for traffic • Interchange infrastructure • Freight route connectivity Assets Challenges • I-15 interchange functions without major • Some delay at I-215/700 North interchange: delay WB/NB in the a.m. (55%/40% of the time) • Plan for Davis-SLC bus rapid transit and EB/SB in the p.m. (30%/65% of the crossing 600 North at 400 West time) • Lessened demand for freight during the • Not great regional connections for transit: peak traffic times limited to 217 route and TRAX Green Line • Heavy turning movements at 300 West and 600 North Weekday AM Weekday PM • Continuing to serve Peak Hour high C ongestion demands Peak Hour for C ongestion Intersection / freightApproach traffic Minuteson eastPercentage end of MinutescorridorPercentage PUBLIC FEEDBACK: Things people like & don’t like (12I-215 percent / 700 N of vehicles) while mitigating Eastbound 0 0% 18 30% conflicts Westbound with Marmalade33 55% neighborhood0 0% “Direct link to the “It gets me to I-15 Northbound 24 40% 0 0% Southbound 0 0% 39 65% freeway and 300 and I-215.” Redwood Road / 700 N west” Eastbound 0Weekday AM0% 0Weekday PM0% Peak Hour C ongestion Peak Hour C ongestion WestboundIntersection / 0 0% 0 0% NorthboundApproach Minutes0 Percentage0% Minutes0 Percentage0% I-215 Southbound / 700 N 0 0% 0 0% Chart1 Title 900 Eastbound W / 600 N 0 0% 18 30% comment EastboundWestbound 330 55%0% 0 0% WestboundNorthbound 240 40%0% 0 0% NorthboundSouthbound 0 0% 390 65%0% Redwood Southbound Road / 700 N 0 0% 0 0% I-15 Eastbound / 600 N 0 0% 0 0% EastboundWestbound 60 10%0% 0 0% WestboundNorthbound 0 0% 0 0% NorthboundSouthbound 0 0% 0 0% 900 Southbound W / 600 N 0 0% 0 0% 400 Eastbound W / 600 N 0 0% 0 0% 18 While the 700 North/I-215 interchange shows some delay in the comments EastboundWestbound 0 0% 30 5%0% peak hour, the I-15/600 North interchange shows little delay.

Lower vehicle speeds are integral to the success of the corridor. The plan will mitigate concern with consistent, targeted, and proven strategies. How do we measure it? • Speed of the roadway (existing traffic and • 500 North traffic speeds future design speed) • Degree to which approach is • Mode conflicts proven • Pedestrian and cyclist--related crashes Assets Challenges • Overall, very few assets • High traffic speeds – at 1300 West, • The two pedestrian activated crossings 70 percent of drivers traveling in the (results of community advocacy) westbound direction were recorded • Planned neckdown for 500 South traveling faster than the posted 35 mph speed limit. • High traffic speeds on 500 North • Truck traffic on the corridor’s east side • The 600-700 transition bend, an especially dangerous area • Redwood Road is the crash hot spot • Concentration of pedestrian and bicycle- related crashes between 800 and 1200 W.
