Skyline High School Construction
****
Skyline Roundabout: May-July 2023
Millcreek in coordination with UDOT is constructing a roundabout on 3800 South at Virginia Way, near Skyline High School to address traffic congestion and improve safety. In addition, the project would construct a raised median at the Birch Drive and Upland Drive intersection and a mid-block signalized pedestrian crossing west of Birch Drive. The project would also install new roadway signage and pavement markings, modify utilities and drainage systems (where necessary), and provide new sidewalks and bike routes.

LOCAL LINK TRANSPORTATION STUDY
We teamed up with Salt Lake City, South Salt Lake and the City of Holladay on Local Link to improve connectivity between our cities through walking, biking and transit solutions. We worked together to develop transportation priorities to guide the effort and influence its outcomes.
The ongoing transit study is being done to address population and traffic projections for 2050, since knowing we won’t be able to rely on cars alone to keep people moving between Sugar House, Millcreek and Holladay in the future.
The study team has gathered data and analyzed four types of transit: streetcar, light rail, Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) and enhanced bus along two main routes: 1300 East and Highland Drive.
