The Shields Lane Solutions Development Study is kicking off this spring. Please join us at the first project Open House on Wednesday, April 17, from 5 to 7 p.m. in the South Jordan City Hall Aspen Conference Room (in the basement).
The study will develop a vision for the future of the Shields Lane corridor (9800 South). Shields Lane is a popular east/west bike and pedestrian travel route within South Jordan. It provides access to two elementary schools and one middle school fronting the route, as well as several future north-south trails and other important destinations. The South Jordan General Plan highlights the importance of improving active transportation conditions on Shields Lane, east-west bike travel, and active lifestyles. The Shields Lane Solutions Development Study seeks to identify future solutions for the street with these critical functions in mind.
The study is being led by a project team of South Jordan City staff, Wasatch Front Regional Council staff, and consultant firms and a Stakeholder Committee comprised of City leadership, residents, additional City staff, school and business representatives, and regional transportation agencies.
We anticipate the study will run approximately eight months and will include opportunities throughout for public engagement and input. In addition to the Open House on April 17 (see above), find us online at shieldslane.com, where you can learn about the project and provide input on the study. Please watch out for an upcoming project survey.
We look forward to you participating in this important project!
