City Creek Canyon Roadway Safety Initiative

Salt Lake City Department of Public Utilities seeks to engage the public in a broad dialogue to identify issues and opportunities to improve recreational access, enjoyment, and safety on the City Creek Canyon Road.

City Creek Canyon is a unique recreational and nature preserve just minutes from the downtown metro center. In addition to providing a pristine water supply for our community, City Creek Canyon is enjoyed by many for biking, walking, running, dog walking, wildlife viewing, and picnicking.

Due to ever increasing traffic by many different users, Public Utilities is beginning a process to seek public input to identify issues and opportunities to improve recreation access and enjoyment while maintaining safety on City Creek Canyon Road.

Community groups and individuals are encouraged to express their concerns and interests regarding use of City Creek Canyon Road.

Information and ideas gathered from the community during initial phase will be used to develop several options for management of recreation traffic on City Creek Canyon Road.
