Salt Lake City's urban layout, with its unusually large grid and wide streets, presents significant challenges to walkability and safety for pedestrians and cyclists.
With block lengths of 660 feet and streets that can be six lanes wide, pedestrian routes are limited and safety is compromised, especially as the metro population grows.
Despite the challenges, Salt Lake City's expansive grid allows for unique urban opportunities, such as the potential for a comprehensive light rail system and redesigned public spaces.
The need for walkable and bikeable areas increases with residential growth, making it imperative for urban planners to rethink the city's street design and layout.
