About this file
This file is a draft beautification and connectivity plan for 500 West in the Granary District of Salt Lake City, Utah, developed in collaboration with multiple local organizations and design firms including Checkerspot Design Lab, WNDR, and Alpine Wade Automotive Products. The plan identifies amenity opportunities and design features for a roadway segment between 600 South and 900 South, with implementation anticipated through August 2026. The document outlines proposed improvements including entry features with art installations, active and passive program areas, mid-block plazas, cafes and seating nodes, stormwater gardens, interactive art installations, informal gathering spaces, and landscape features. The plan incorporates improved bicycle and pedestrian access routes, connections to the 9 Line Trail, freight loading zones during morning hours, and emergency access considerations. A related state and local contract opportunity (RDW26064) designates this as a design roadway improvements project requiring pre-design and final PS&E services with a contract term from September 2026 to December 2028, representing approximately a 27-month engagement for design professionals.
The draft plan solicits public input on preferred amenities and locations for implementation within the corridor. The document includes illustrative graphics and references successful precedent projects from cities including Portland, Seattle, Sheffield, Copenhagen, Rotterdam, Stockholm, and Pittsburgh, demonstrating the planning team's intention to incorporate proven urban design strategies. Tree species have not yet been finalized, and all graphics are explicitly noted as illustrative rather than prescriptive. The plan emphasizes both connectivity improvements and activation of public space through mixed-use programming, with particular attention to freight operations and emergency vehicle access requirements typical of urban commercial districts.
