Bear Lake Corridor Study Open House

The Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT), in collaboration with Garden City and the Bear Lake Regional Commission, is concluding the Bear Lake Corridor Study.

The study has noted that the region experiences significant “special event” visitation levels for weekends and holidays throughout the summer. The study found that high traffic volumes occur often enough to justify capacity enhancements or traffic management strategies.

The study provides recommendations for several priority projects and serves as a basis for UDOT and stakeholders to plan future improvements. The study was careful to recommend projects that are appropriate given the scale and variability of visitor demand, the context of the semi-rural setting, and public preferences.

A public open house will be held:
Wednesday, July 20, 2016
5:00 pm to 7:00 pm

in the  Garden City Town Center – 
Lakeview Conference Room 69 N. Paradise Parkway, Bldg B , Garden City, UT

Come learn about the short-term and long-term recommendations related to intersection design, turn lanes, pedestrian mobility, roadway geometry, on-road cycling, and beach access.

The study team has developed a project web site where you can find additional information about the project. Please visit https://goo.gl/F6jtLW For questions regarding this open house or the project in general, please contact Kyle Cook at (385)282-7059 or k.cook@fehrandpeers.com.
