The Utah Department of Transportation will hold a town hall regarding the future of Wasatch Boulevard on Wednesday, Nov. 18, at Cottonwood Heights City Hall, according to a November 7 report.
The meeting will allow residents to learn about planned changes for the corridor, including medians and a proposed mobility hub.
According to a Cottonwood Heights City Facebook post, the event will provide an opportunity for residents to explore potential renderings for the future mobility hub and learn more about the median along Wasatch Boulevard.
A quorum of the Cottonwood Heights City Council may attend, which could allow residents to raise concerns directly with UDOT staff and elected officials in the same room.
Conflicting schedules have been noted between city notices. A public meeting notice filed Nov. 4 by Cottonwood Heights City Recorder Tiffany Janzen lists the event from 6 to 7 p.m. in the Community Room at 2277 E. Bengal Blvd. However, the city's Facebook post lists the meeting from 7 to 8 p.m. in the Cullimore Room at the same address. Residents may wish to contact the city to confirm the schedule.
Wasatch Boulevard, designated as State Route 210, has been the subject of long-running planning efforts. UDOT began an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) in 2018 covering Little Cottonwood Canyon and Wasatch Boulevard, according to a Cottonwood Heights Q&A page written by UDOT Project Manager Josh Van Jura.
UDOT previously completed a safety project at the intersection of Wasatch and Bengal boulevards on Aug. 20, which included adding new sidewalks, improved crosswalks, accessible push buttons, and modified signals and turn lanes.
