Update regarding latest Foothill Dr. Plans from UDOT

Thank you so much for your patience as we sought information about plans on Foothill and allowed time for Mayor Mendenhall to communicate with UDOT. Our transportation department developed this memo and map (attached) describing the plans or opportunities right now Here are some of the main takeaways:

Update to the 1700 South Storm Drain – 2100 East to Wasatch Hollow Project

Salt Lake City Department of Public Utilities (SLCDPU) will build a new storm drain from 1700 South and 2100 East to Wasatch Hollow. SLCDPU is wrapping up engineering and design based off community feedback. The figure below shows the path of the storm drain (in blue). SLCDPU anticipates construction to start in the fall of 2020 and to wrap up over the summer of 2021.

CIP Award Implementation and Timeline

The Wasatch Hollow Access and Amenity Improvement Project, submitted by Council Chairman Dodd and amended by Meg Roberts, was funded by the City Council. Included in the request are additional park benches, a dog fountain and multiple new access points to the park including an access point and pedestrian bridge across the creek off Rosecrest Dr.

The Wasatch Hollow access improvements are a large project that will take time to design and construct with a tentative timeline to complete the project by the end of 2020. SLC Public Lands is currently working with their Engineering office to speed the timeline for the benches and dog fountain.

Further updates to the project will be posted here and on our Facebook page.
