    Power District Transportation Study

    Discussed

    The Wasatch Front Regional Council and a consultant presented a study of transportation options within a mile of the Power District along North Temple between I-215 and about 1000 West. Council Members raised the plan's limited scope and dependence on a baseball team and stadium, unsafe crossings and bottlenecks, lack of Westside transit investment, and coordination with the West-East Connection Study. Council Member Dugan preferred an alternative to a steep grade at the proposed 200 South/650 West below-grade rail crossing, Council Member Puy noted the Navajo Street extension could create a dead end, and Council Member Petro raised safety risks of the South Temple extension west.
