South Salt Lake City and the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) are pleased to announce improvements to 300 East between 3300 South and 3900 South. Improvements will consist of pavement reconstruction, upgrades to the drainage system, bicycle lanes, and partial replacement of the curb, gutter and sidewalk. Once complete, the project will improve safety and comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements. The capacity, or number of travel lanes, on 300 East will not increase with this project.
In order to accommodate the construction of the pedestrian ramps at cross streets, small portions of right-of-way will be purchased. Project team members will be in touch with land owners to discuss this as the project progresses.
Construction will be underway by summer. Check back in late May for additional details on construction dates.
Questar Gas will begin relocating a gas line in early April within the project limits. For information on that project please contact Rhonda Forde at 801.324.3158.
If you have any other questions, please contact Carlye Sommers, Public Involvement Manager at 801.859.3770.
South Salt Lake City is considering a change to the configuration of the 2700 South roadway from the current two lanes in each direction to one lane in each direction with a center turn lane and bike lanes. The results of a study indicate this redesign would have minimal impact on 2700 South to automobile traffic. For bicyclists, the change would have significant improvements, and this would be a good first step towards a city-wide bicycle network.
Travel times between the existing roadway configuration and the new configuration are estimated to increase by roughly ten seconds between 300 West and 500 East for the westbound and eastbound AM directions. The eastbound PM direction travel time is estimated to increase by one minute and thirty seconds.
It is likely that if 2700 South were reduced to three-lanes, one could expect a reduction in crash frequency, slower speeds, and a more livable and multi-modal street.
