Salt Lake City's Transportation Division, along with several partner organizations, invite residents and area stakeholders to meet and discuss the future of the Foothill Drive corridor.
The open house is scheduled for Thursday at 5 p.m. at Hillside Middle School, 1825 Nevada Street.
The meeting will mark the beginning of the Foothill Drive Implementation Strategy, which will identify short-term and long-term priorities to address traffic congestion, improve neighborhood connections, enhance safety, and provide transportation options.
Foothill Drive has long served as a vital urban thoroughfare linking Interstate 80, Interstate 215 and Parley's Way to the University of Utah and Downtown via 500/400 South.
Foothill Drive also serves as a neighborhood commercial corridor and regular users have expressed interest in enhancing the safety, efficiency and aesthetics for pedestrians, cyclists, drivers and transit riders.
