DRAFT07 IntroductionThe East Bench transportation system is a collection of slow moving, treelined residential streets and major arteries that are the lifeblood of regionallysignificant destinations. East Bench residents, employees, and businessowners recognize the impact that the transportation system has on thelivability of their community and want more choices in how they move fromplace to place.EAST BENCH MASTER PLAN 83

DRAFTCONNECTING PEOPLE TO PLACESGUIDING PRINCIPLEA Safe, Efficient and Multi-Modal NetworkThe East Bench mobility network is an efficient, safe, and accessible transportation systemthat provides multiple options for connecting people to employment, services, shopping,entertainment, recreational and cultural opportunities within the East Bench community, andconnects the East Bench to the City and region.City Planning ContextPlan Salt Lake places an emphasis on the role thatconnectivity and mobility options has on the future healthof our communities.Plan Salt Lake states:“Connectivity and circulation are critical to responsible,sustainable growth. We must ensure that our neighborhoodsand districts are well connected by both providing awide range of transportation and mobility options andincreasing the number of connections in our community.Smaller blocks and a diversity of connections are necessaryto achieve this.”The plan provides further direction with the followingguiding principle:“A transportation and mobility network that is safe,accessible, reliable, affordable, and sustainable, providingreal choices and connecting people with places.”The Plan Salt Lake initiatives related to transportationand mobility emphasizes that all areas of the City shouldfocus on reducing automobile dependency by providingconvenient, safe, accessible, and equitable access to avariety of transportation options.The Salt Lake City Transportation Master Plan isthe guiding plan for mobility in Salt Lake City. Theaccompanying Major Street Plan classifies streets bytheir anticipated function. The East Bench contains thefollowing types of streets according to the Major StreetPlan:84 EAST BENCH MASTER PLANState Highways are operated and maintained by theUtah Department of Transportation (UDOT). Routestypically operate as Arterial streets.Arterial Streets facilitate through traffic movement overrelatively long distances such as from one end of the cityto the other and from neighborhood to neighborhood.Arterials are generally Multi-Lane streets carrying hightraffic volumes at relatively high speed limits. These arecommuter streets and typically offer controlled accessto abutting property.Collector streets provide the connection between Arterialand Local streets. Collectors can be Multi-Lane, but aremeant to carry less traffic at lower speeds and for shorterdistances than Arterials. They provide direct access toabutting property and carry a mix of local traffic andcommuter traffic headed for nearby destinations.Local streets provide direct access to and from abuttingproperty. Local streets are usually one lane in eachdirection meant to carry traffic over short distancesand at low speeds.The Transportation Master Plan encourages the use oftransportation modes other than just the automobile. Oneof the guiding principles listed in the plan states:“Salt Lake City will encourage a multi-modaltransportation system. Dependence on the automobileas our primary mode of transportation will be reducedby emphasizing other modes. The transportation systemwill be designed to move people, not just automobiles.”The plan goes further by recognizing the important

DRAFTrelationship between land use and transportation and howthis relationship impacts the health of our communities.The plan provides the following direction regarding landuse: Salt Lake City will preserve and enhance residentialcommunities within the City which allow residentsto live, work and play in the same area. Salt Lake City will explore opportunities to increaseresidential and destination densities at major bus andrail transit nodes along transit corridors. Salt Lake City will promote development that istransit, pedestrian and bicycle friendly.CONNECTING PEOPLE TO PLACESThe Salt Lake City Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Planenvisions that walking and bicycling within the City willbe:“ safe, convenient, comfortable, and viabletransportation options that connect people to places, fosterrecreational and economic development opportunities,improve personal health and the environment, and elevatequality of life.”The plan supports the “Complete Streets” principle, whichrefers to designing streets for people of all ages and abilitiesand for all forms of transportation. To implement the“Complete Streets” principle, all communities within theCity should: Integrate walking and bicycling into communityplanning to enhance livability, health, transportation,the environment, and economic development; Develop a safe, comfortable, and attractive walkingand bicycling network that connects people of allages, abilities, and neighborhoods to the places theywant to go; Maintain the walking and bicycling system yearround; Promote the safety and attractiveness of walkingand bicycling through education, encouragement,and enforcement programs; and Integrate pedestrian and bicycle facilities with transitroutes, stations, and stops.The East Bench Master Plan supports all of these citywidemaster plans. Future transportation infrastructureimprovements in the East Bench should be consistent withthe policies established in these plans and any subsequentchanges adopted by the City Council.East Bench neighborhoods have good access to collector andarterial roads.EAST BENCH MASTER PLAN 85

DRAFTCONNECTING PEOPLE TO PLACESExisting ConditionsBike RoutesRoadway ConditionsThere are two types of specific bike lane facilities locatedwithin the East Bench Community: On-road bikewaysand signed shared roadways.The roadway infrastructure in the East Bench is aging.The Salt Lake City Engineering Division conducted acitywide survey of pavement conditions in 2012. Streetswere evaluated and given a score of 1 to 100 based on anoverall condition with 1 being worst and 100 being best.Nearly two-thirds of the streets within the East Bench areconsidered fair to excellent, although there are a numberof street sections (approximately 35%) that are consideredvery poor to marginal.On-Road Bikeways are bike lanes that are typicallystriped with painted bicycle symbols and “bike lane”signs. Bike lanes provide bicycle-priority space onfairly busy streets. There are approximately 10 milesof roadway within the East Bench Community thatcontain bike lanes.Shared Roadways use green bike route signs to indicatebicycle use. Bicycle symbols may also be painted onthe road to alert motorists that bicyclists are sharingthe travel lane.

There are limitedlocal bus routes that run predominantly in a north-southdirection, but nothing that runs east-west and connectsthe neighborhoods to the major corridors. Regionally,there has been a great emphasis on providing bus andrail transit to the University of Utah from the west andnorth; however, transit options from the south and eastare limited. Although transit usage has not been high inthe past, there is resurgence in the community’s desirefor more.1500 EastThe East Bench Community is served by 12 local busroutes, three express routes, two fast bus routes, andTRAX. The 12 local bus routes provide transit circulationwithin the City and connect the East Bench to other citieswithin Salt Lake County. The Fast Bus routes provide directconnection to the eastern areas of Salt Lake County. TheExpress routes connect the East Bench to Davis County,Utah County, and Park City.Light rail provides great transit service to the University of Utah;however, transit is limited in other areas of the East Bench.1300 EastTransitTRANSIT SERVICETRAXExpressFast BusLocalParley’sWay80The East Bench is primarily served by transit routes headingto215the University of UtahEAST BENCH MASTER PLAN 87

DRAFTCONNECTING PEOPLE TO PLACESNeighborhood activity nodes generally attractpeople from within the neighborhood in which theyare located. These areas contain coffee shops andneighborhood grocers, as well as schools, churchesand parks. Neighborhood activity nodes may containbusinesses that attract people from outside of theimmediate neighborhood; however, these businessesare generally small in size. These areas are locatedmainly along collector or local streets.88 EAST BENCH MASTER PLANiveCommunity activity nodes attract people generallyfrom the adjacent neighborhoods, as well as thesurrounding communities. Within the East Bench,these activity nodes are located along arterial streets,such as Foothill Drive and Parley’s Way.DrRegional activity nodes attract people from within,and outside of Salt Lake City and includes theUniversity of Utah, Research Park, and the regionalcultural attractions.2100 Eastill1700 Southoth1900 EastSunnyside AveFoThe following provides a description of the East Benchactivity nodes:500 South1700 EastThe existing activity nodes in the East Bench are generallycategorized by their intensity and size of the area thatthey serve. They also provide an indication on the levelof transportation infrastructure needed to serve the area.For example, the regional activity node contains landuses that serve not only the local community and City,but the region as a whole. Therefore, the transportationinfrastructure that services this area should be tied to theregional transportation network.1500 EastIn order to plan future transportation improvements, itis necessary to identify where people are going. Activitynodes are places that attract people for the purpose oflearning, working, shopping, recreating, worshiping,and/or socializing. From a transportation standpoint,these activity areas are considered trip generators anddestinations.These areas should be the focal point in determining wherefuture transportation infrastructure improvements areneeded. These improvements should be focused on movingpeople safely and efficiently to and within the activitynodes, and be designed to correlate to the adjacent landuses along the corridor.1300 EastPLAN FOR WHERE PEOPLE GOACTIVITY titutional80Activity nodes should be the focal point in determining where215future transportation infrastructure improvements are needed.

CONNECTING PEOPLE TO PLACESDRAFTMOVING FORWARD The following are the guiding principles and associated initiatives that are intendedto help guide the East Bench Community into the future. The initiatives includegeneral policies, as well as specific strategies and goals. Applicable Plan Salt Lakepolicies are also included that help inform these guiding principles and initiatives.G UIDI NG P R I N C I P L E C - 0 1A SAFE, EFFICIENT AND MULTI-MODAL NETWORKThe East Bench mobility network is an efficient, safe, and accessible transportationsystem that provides multiple options for connecting people to employment,services, shopping, entertainment, recreational and cultural opportunities within theEast Bench community, and connects the East Bench to the City and region.Plan Salt Lake initiatives supported by this action:Neighborhoods Create a safe and convenient place for people to carry out their daily lives. Promote accessible neighborhood services and amenities, including parks, naturallands, and schools.Transportation & Mobility Create a complete circulation network and ensure convenient equitable access to avariety of transportation options. Reduce automobile dependency and single occupancy vehicle trips. Make walking and cycling viable, safe, and convenient transportation options in allareas of the City. Prioritize maintenance of existing infrastructure. Encourage transit-oriented development (TOD). Collaborate with regional partners to relieve congestion and enhance rights-of-way foralternative modes of transportation. Enhance rights-of-way to join, rather than segregate, adjacent neighborhoods. Incorporate pedestrian oriented elements, including street trees, pedestrian scalelighting, signage, and embedded art, into our rights-of-way and transportation networks.Air Quality Increase mode-share for public transit, cycling, walking, and carpooling.Beautiful City Promote increased connectivity through mid-block connections.90 EAST BENCH MASTER PLAN

Specifically,east-west transit routes are needed to connect residentsto the Foothill Drive corridor. This will not only provideaccess to shopping and services along Foothill, but willprovide access to future regional transit routes on Foothill.2100 EastPlanning for future transit in the East Bench should focuson connecting people to the activity centers. The EastBench regional activity center is a destination for peopleinside the community, inside the City and outside of theCity. Foothill Drive serves as primary access to this areaand is integral to the regional transportation network.It should be targeted for additional transit that ties intothe overall regional transit system. Once in the regionalactivity center, the local circulation system should tie allof the facilities together.1300 South1700 East1300 EastImprove Transit Access andService to Activity NodesEast to west transit service is not available at nodes along1300 South.2100 SouthParleThe Parley’s Way and Foothill node is an emerging center thatcould be better served by transitI N I T I AT I V E C-1.2Explore Transit Partnershipswith the University of UtahThe City should work with the University of Utah onextending their campus shuttle system into the adjacentneighborhoods.

This includes ensuring that there is sufficient rightof-way width for bus stops. It also includes urban designelements in the pedestrian areas that provide comfortablebus stop waiting areas, such as sheltered benches. All futurestreet right-of-way improvements at activity nodes shouldbe coordinated with transit partners and should considerfuture transit accommodations.Enhanced bus stops, such as this bus shelter in ResearchPark, provide comfort and shelter for ridersI N I T I AT I V E C-1.4Design Streets According totheir FunctionArterial streets in the East Bench should continue toserve as primary transportation corridors and shouldcontinue to function in this manner. These streets shouldcontinue to move automobiles away from neighborhoodstreets; however, this should not come at the expense ofother transportation options, such as transit, bikes andwalking. Collector streets in the East Bench should beconsidered neighborhood corridors. These provide thelink to the neighborhood commercial nodes, as well asto the major corridors. Improvements to these streetsshould accommodate all modes of transportation andautomobile speeds should be kept low due to the residentialnature of the land uses along these streets. Infrastructureimprovements should focus on slowing automobile trafficto improve safety on local streets.92 EAST BENCH MASTER PLANFoothill Drive and Parley’s Way (shown above) are majorcorridors and should be designed to move people efficientlyand safely.
