Sandy City and South Jordan City Small Area Transit Study
end
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:
Discussion
RECOMMENDATION:
Informational item for discussion
BACKGROUND:
UTA, along with Sandy City and South Jordan City are beginning a Small Area Transit Study. The desired outcome is for UTA, Sandy City and South Jordan City to understand the potential transit market and needs in the near term, given changes in real estate development and population/employment growth that are anticipated within the study area.
DISCUSSION:
The study will involve UTA, Sandy City, South Jordan City, UDOT, WFRC, and the South Valley Chamber. The study area will be from 90th South to 106th South and from Sandy Parkway/Jordan Gateway to State Street. The work is intended to revisit the recommendations from the 2009 South Jordan Trolley Feasibility and 2015 Sandy/South Jordan Circulator studies. The scope of work is to evaluate the feasibility of those recommendations, develop new recommendations as appropriate, and identify an incremental path forward for implementation.
