Here’s a quick look at transportation and land use news in Salt Lake City.

Everything we know in regards to construction and other street impacts from around the city.

Recent construction projects, which have been vital to fix our crumbling infrastructure and build housing, have been tough on businesses. But we must shift the conversation towards making construction less painful rather than plain opposition.

On March 7, the Utah Legislature voted to end Salt Lake City’s control of its own streets. Specifically, the capital can not move forward on any “highway reduction strategy” on a city-owned collector or arterial until they get approval from the Utah Department of Transportation.
