Complete Sidewalks Coming This Summer to Spring Lane
T
his summer the City of Holladay will kick-off a much needed pedestrian safety project – completing the missing sidewalk on the south side of Spring Lane from Highland Drive to 1300 East. The City identified Spring Lane as a priority pedestrian corridor in need of safety improvements over 7 years ago, considering the high volume of children that utilize the route to walk to and from school. After assessing the existing sidewalks, it was determined that completing the missing sidewalk on the south side of Spring Lane was the most feasible course of action.
Concerts in the Park Series 7:30pm City Hall Park June 18 – Cross Strung with Celtic Dancers August 6 – Joshy Soul & the Cool September 10 – Michael Chipman & Melinda Voss
The City was awarded a grant from the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) to help offset project costs. Benefits resulting from the project include increased pedestrian safety, improved traffic calming and enhanced corridor appearance and function. This project also supports the City’s vision to make the community safer, more livable, sustainable and attractive. Residents can expect to see construction along Spring Lane during the summer months; the City aims to complete the project by the beginning of the 2016-2017 school year.
