Study highlights Salt Lake City's east-west struggles. What will be done about it? Initial information collected as part of a study of Salt Lake City's east-west transportation divide underscores the challenges that exist in Utah's capital city.

Between roads blocked by trains and congestion from freeway traffic, nearly three out of four Salt Lake City commuters who responded to a survey as part of the city's east-west study said they deal with travel delays multiple times a day, usually daily.

This study, in conjunction with the Kimley Horn engineering feasibility analysis conducted in 2023, now means we have everything needed to move forward with burying the rails, healing the east-west divide, and igniting a new generation of transportation in the state of Utah
