Study Overview
The Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) is conducting a study to identify potential transportation solutions for people connecting to or traveling through and around the Capitol Hill area.
The study will consider existing and projected traffic data and travel patterns, local redevelopment plans, and regional travel needs. The outcome will be a list of recommended transportation improvements throughout the study area designed to alleviate congestion in the Capitol Hill area and its surroundings.
The study kicked off in late summer 2024 and is scheduled to last approximately one year.
Survey Findings
The study team has collected feedback from citizens who live, work or travel to/through the area. We wanted to learn how you get around, and what would make transportation better. Here are the common themes:
- Reduce cut-through commuter traffic through residential areas
- Improve walking/biking accessibility and connectivity
- Increase public transit access
- Ensure appropriate street typologies are applied to roads in the study area
Next, the study team will analyze data and public input to develop solutions sets. We anticipate our next outreach effort to occur in March and April, when the solutions sets are ready for presentation.
