Salt Lake City Mobility, Safety, and Transit

In Salt Lake City, the intersection of 600 N and 1200 W was known for its centrally -located, commercial context yet inefficient use of right-of-way. The 600/700 North Mobility, Safety, and Transit Improvements Study creates a vision to promote safety, enable mobility for active transportation, and better serve the surrounding neighborhoods.

Demonstration Projects 

The demonstration project temporarily tested ideas for one of the more problematic points along the corridor and activated the newly created public space to host events that promote the study and garner public feedback. Alta’s work on this demonstration project included the identification of necessary materials, design, and facilitating implementation with the help of community volunteers. 

Public Engagement 

Due to public health concerns during the pandemic, the initial vision for public outreach events could not be realized. The demonstration installation served as a billboard for the study and was aided by interpretive signage that helped point people to more information online.
