The plan calls for deploying biking and walking paths alongside Utah 111, making the west Bonneville Shoreline Trail the main spine of the trail system, and developing a corridor transportation master plan for Butterfield Canyon Road in the Oquirrh Mountains in collaboration with landowners, Tooele County and Salt Lake County Parks and Recreation.Īlignments are subject to change, the plan notes, and, in some cases, may not be possible until the Kennecott mine’s days are over, beyond 2040.
Prioritized routes include the 3300 South-3500 South corridor in West Valley City and neighboring Magna, the 3900 South-4100 South corridor in West Valley City, and 11800 South to the new Olympia development in Herriman. Bus rapid transit, an even faster service, would operate like light rail, essentially TRAX on wheels. The county expects to see buses with frequent stops and routes that operate every day, every 15 minutes or less, early in the morning until late in the evening. The county also is working with the Utah Transit Authority to expand public transportation out west.Īlthough UTA hasn’t identified specific transit improvements for the area, the Wasatch Front Regional Council’s plan does include transit corridors that serve as priority connections to the transit network. The key east-west routes include state Road 201, 4100 South, 4700 South, 5400 South, 6200 South, 7000 South, 7400 South, 7800 South, 9000 South, 11800 South, Herriman Highway, New Bingham Highway, South Jordan Parkway. Projects include widening, new construction and operational enhancements to existing roads. The regional council expects these improvements to be built in three phases and completed in 2030, 20. Salt Lake County has crafted and embraced a broad long-term vision to address that growth in the unincorporated areas to the west.

The county is planning for east-west expansions on various roads from state Road 201 (also known as the 2100 South Freeway) in the north to Herriman Highway in the south. As developments come in, then they will negotiate with the cities that they annex into, to connect into the regional network.” “Everything is at a very regional level because right now, a lot of that land is not developed,” Peters said.
In the future, whenever developers submit traffic circulation plans and traffic impact studies, they would have to consider the area’s own regional network, according to Helen Peters, the county’s director of regional planning and transportation. This plan would serve as a guide as new development arrives on the west side.
The county partnered with the Wasatch Front Regional Council, using the council’s 2019-2050 regional transportation plan, which covers roads, walking, bike lanes and transit. One goal in the plan is to explore the feasibility of east-west street connections to the Mountain View Corridor, Bangerter Highway, Utah 111 (also known as the Bacchus Highway), Interstate 80, I-215, I-15 and other high-speed roadways.
