SLC Transit Master Plan

As Councilman Lamalfa mentioned in the May Community,Council meeting, Salt Lake City is currently working on developing a SLC Transit Master Plan (TMP). The TMP is a city effort to document SLC’s short, medium and long-term public transportation needs, goals, and implementation strategies to improve transit. The Plan will include an in-depth analysis of how people are traveling today,
the strengths and weaknesses of the current mass transit system, and projections for future growth to identify a network of corridors for investment. A survey effort will be conducted in Summer of 2015. For more information, visit slcrides.org

North Temple Park and Ride? Maybe….

Some residents were excited to see the parking lot just West of Jordan River, north side of North Temple designated as a UTA Park and Ride.

Well…this is not quite true.

Christopher Chesnut, UTA, the UTA managament who visited the Fairpark Council last year, explained that, while Park and Ride signs have been posted at the front gate on North Temple, the parking lot is a temporary arrangement between UAH and the Utah State Fair. UTA hopes to come to an agreement with the Fair in the near future for a more permanent arrangement.

The temporary Park and Ride is open for use.

Mr. Chesnut noted that the lot does not have any security. He cautioned people against using it for long­term parking.
