3900 SOUTH RECONSTRUCTION
PROJECT OVERVIEW
The 3900 South reconstruction project will complete the East-West active transportation corridor between I-215 and 2300 E. This project is co-sponsored by Millcreek and City of Holladay. This section of roadway has intermittent sidewalk, utility poles in the asphalt shoulder, open irrigation/Storm Drain ditch, and no bicycle facility, all of which creates an unsafe transportation environment. By developing improvements for continuous sidewalk, dedicated bike lanes, and enhanced UTA bus stops, it is anticipated that active transportation will grow significantly along the corridor.
The project aligns with the community’s vision for 3900 South to create a safe and aesthetically pleasing corridor that is accommodating for all motorists and pedestrians. The project leverages $8.7 million in grants obtained from Salt Lake County and the federal government, and will include continuous sidewalks, curb and gutter, storm drains, improved pedestrian crossings, dedicated bike lanes and enhanced UTA bus stops.
The Environmental Study was completed in August 2019. See below for updates.

PROJECT UPDATE- February 2021
Acme Construction has been selected to reconstruct 3900 South in Millcreek and Holladay. Construction is scheduled to begin as early as Monday, Feb. 15 and is anticipated to be completed in 2021. Residents can expect to see trucks and workers within the project limits conducting preconstruction activities as early as Monday, Feb. 8.
Crews will start on the east end of the project limits and continue to work west toward 2300 East. More information on traffic patterns and property impacts during construction will be available via email and on the city websites (Millcreek and Holladay) as work begins.
Two-way traffic and public transportation is expected to be maintained along 3900 South. Bicycle access will be restricted at times during construction, and detours will be provided. Services such as postal deliveries, and garbage or recycling pickup will also continue regularly.

Millcreek is proposing a roundabout at Upland Drive and Virginia Way 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.
The city is currently completing an environmental study to understand project impacts and obtain federal funding. The project team will present information about this project at the Millcreek City Council meeting on Monday, October 12. The meeting will be live-streamed on the Millcreek City website.

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. Now, we need your help to understand which option best meets the needs of our communities in the future.
Local Link is the final planning effort before significant investments are made! Visit locallinkstudy.com today to take the survey and make sure your voice is heard. The survey will close April 22, 2021!
Check out Local Link's Interactive Story Map to see the results of their months-long public survey and their proposals for transit alternatives in Millcreek.
