Wall Avenue Corridor Plan: preferred street design for 22nd to 27th streets
Discussed
Jake Farnsworth of consultant Kimley-Horn presented the preferred concept, 'Traffic Calming with Landscape Median and Shared Use Path': four travel lanes with a left-turn lane, a landscaped median, street trees, on-street parking, curb extensions, mid-block crossings and an off-street shared path on the west side. The Planning Commission unanimously recommended it June 4, 2025. Council discussion covered other concepts considered, travel time, drawbacks of mid-block crossings, construction timing and benefits to Union Station. The full plan is expected before the council in the coming months.

Resolution 2025-21: preferred street design for Wall Avenue, 22nd to 27th streets
Continued
Consultant Jake Farnsworth of Kimley-Horn presented the preferred concept (four travel lanes with a left-turn lane, landscaped median, on-street parking, mid-block crossings and a west-side shared path), which the Planning Commission recommended unanimously June 4. Chair Marcia White said she does not believe on-street parking should be allowed on Wall Avenue; Council Member Shaun Myers said some people prefer it. Residents including Laura Lewis, Linda Sanchez and Theresa Bramwell said the design does not reflect public preference for an underground bypass, and warned of congestion and safety problems; Travis Pate suggested a ramp from the existing 24th Street pedestrian bridge. Planning Director Barton Brierley asked that final action be continued for up to six months while the city negotiates a corridor agreement with the Utah Department of Transportation. Vice Chair Richard Hyer moved to extend consideration, seconded by Council Member Dave Graf; the motion carried on a voice vote with all voting aye. Mayor Nadolski said an underground option would cost about $200 million and is not realistic now.
