Metropolitan Transportation Plan Project Development Presentation 9/19/2011 1

Draft Listing of Highway Projects • Does Not Include Any New Freeways • Have Reviewed with City Staff • So Far Minor Changes Have Been Suggested • Red = Needed by 2020 • Blue = by 2030 • Green = by 2040 9/19/2011 3

Notice the Choke Points (dashed black lines) • Cedar Pass has 26k Trips per Day • Lehi 35k • Lindon 217k • Springville 127k 9/19/2011 4

Phase 1 2020 9/19/2011 5

Phase 2 2030 9/19/2011 6

Larger Facilities Need to be Explored by 2040 Phase 3 2040 9/19/2011 7

S alt Lake County Today has 1.1 million people U tah County in 30 years is projected to be 1.1 million people C urrent Day… • Buffalo, NY • Hartford, CT • New Orleans, LA • Richmond, VA • Oklahoma City, OK Each have about 1 million population and have multiple freeways and expressways W hat Will Become of our Highway System? 9/19/2011 8

ITE Ideal Highway Spacing • With 1.1m people SL today, SL Co. is close to ideal freeway spacing Co. • South area of county needs better east/west connectivity • At 1.1m people in 30 years, Utah Co. UT lacks ideal freeway spacing • Geography makes Co. choke points in Lehi, Santaquin, Lindon, and Springville 9/19/2011 9

Metropolitan Transportation Plan 1 st West Side Freeways Were Modeled West Side Vision Corridors 145k • 3 Scenarios Were Modeled, All Do Well 2040 Traffic Cedar Pass CP Lehi CP 2007 I-15 Traffic 126k Eagle Mountain to Lehi 127k Lindon CP • South of Eagle Mountain to Santaquin is a Corridor Preservation Project 156k • None of the Scenarios Help Relieve 134k Congestion in the Lindon or Lehi Areas V1 V2 102k Cedar Pass Choke Point Conditions − Pony Exp PKWY Fails − Pony Exp PKWY Fails − Pony Exp PKWY Fails The Question is − South Pass RD is − S Pass RD not used − HWY 73 Fails, has 52k Minor Arterial − N Pass RD not used FWY traffic level, 67k Always Asked… − N Pass RD not used Lehi Choke Point Conditions “Why Not Build A − Pioneer Crossing is − Pioneer Crossing Fails − Pioneer Crossing Fails 37k Congested − No relief to Choke − No relief to Choke Bypass to I-15 on − No relief to Choke Point Point the West Side of Point the Lake?” 32k Lindon Choke Point Conditions − I-15 Fails − I-15 Fails − I-15 Fails − No relief to Choke − No relief to Choke − No relief to Choke Point Point Point 28k 9/19/2011 10

Metropolitan Transportation Plan Overall Best Modeled Network of FWY Preferred Scenario Major Facilities • Travel Through Lehi Runs Well • Lindon and Point of the Mountain Choke Points Still Experience Congestion • Payson to Provo FWY Relieves Springville Choke Point and Provo I-15 • West Side FWY in Goshen Area Not Needed as a Freeway in 30 Years- Corridor Preservation Orange = I-15 FWY Green = West Side FWY Red = Mountain View/Lake Crossing FWY Blue = Payson to Provo FWY 9/19/2011 14
