Matt Ryan, community planner at WFRC, summarized the program’s purpose — linking land use, transportation and economic development — and said this cycle received 26 applications requesting about $4.2 million against an available pool just under $2.0 million. The 13 awarded projects include small‑area plans and centers (e.g., Murray Oakwood Village Center, Riverdale Stringtown, South Ogden City Center), citywide plans and ordinance updates, and contextual transportation studies (for example, 5400 South corridor work and a South Davis Greenway feasibility study).

Ryan highlighted two awards: a Millcreek ADA transition plan (a small award focused on curb ramps and sidewalk connectivity) and a Uintah general plan update done with WFRC staff support. He said the TLC program supports plan types ranging from feasibility studies and design standards to implementation strategies and ordinance assistance, and that awardees will use both partner funding and local match to advance plans and code changes.

Ryan also noted partner funding and program support from UDOT, UTA, Salt Lake County regional development, and the Governor’s Office of Planning and Budget. WFRC staff offered an interactive TLC map with application materials, award details and completed plans to help communities prepare future applications.

No formal action or vote was required at the TAC meeting; staff encouraged jurisdictions to contact WFRC for program guidance and to view the interactive map for details on each award.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Regional Growth Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) Salt Lake Area (Plan TAC) | April 16, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","WFRC announced 13 Transportation and Land Use Connection (TLC) awards totaling about $1.5 million in partner funding and $400,000 in local matches, selecting projects ranging from small‑area plans to ADA transition and corridor studies.","taxTitle","Regional Growth Technical Advisory Committee, Wasatch Front Regional Council, Wasatch County Commission and Boards, Wasatch County, Utah","taxId",77426,"location","Utah","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6270595,"TAC recommends Regional Growth Committee approve level-2 projects in RTP Amendment No. 3",1232,1906000,3138000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3033298-756e89aebdf5263c830559359681f629&start=1906&end=3138","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3033298-756e89aebdf5263c830559359681f629/thumbnail_1906000.jpg","/articles/6270595/Utah/TAC-recommends-Regional-Growth-Committee-approve-level-2-projects-in-RTP-Amendment-No-3","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6270595-e47df86e26d99a8516c4cf60fce5031b/orig.mp4?Expires=1770447534&Signature=ILucuaPK7MTFfJUk0~R9FLMRxJWhgQKQsu71pmXM~u545~0svRSQCzFZtxejJ161EZd5M9pA2qAjU0zruomyZBKK00LbY1CfF3ErTzxo0K~cCrG9CS6YHQfLziKq-Daw5LQW2PFow2HsAgvo9A7pq8gveZyigLSwdMaO28pVCrZ50x3gi8K2a4sDkzKpFFQK~oxEcPuMPwMko4XtJxOQLSrUC349Rza3tskUNFZhXWng0FbqHg1AVsLGH-eStysp30UyyWHYuj8VN3-y7dlBopGC3q9IM8SRnGp3oswcqTTlXCNsAbkOM86arlu55xIg5JgCQy7mrTixqmkfCjjKEA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","WFRC staff presented Amendment Number 3 to the 2023–2050 Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) and the Technical Advisory Committee voted to forward the level‑2 board modification projects to the Regional Growth Committee for approval at its May meeting.

Jory Jonner, director of WFRC’s Long Range Planning Group, said the RTP is a financially constrained, four‑year cycle plan that provides the starting point for projects seeking federal, state and local funds. The amendment process has three levels: level‑1 staff modifications (smaller changes such as active-transportation updates and land‑use layer changes), level‑2 board modifications (collector and minor arterial roadway changes, non‑fixed guideway transit), and level‑3 full amendments (principal arterials, freeways and fixed guideway transit) that include air‑quality conformity and public comment.

Amendment No. 3 contains 11 projects: six level‑1 staff modifications and five level‑2 board modification roadway projects (four in Salt Lake County and one in Box Elder County). Level‑1 items included updates to the Wasatch Choice Vision land‑use layer, three active‑transportation updates from local communities and two University of Utah mobility‑hub requests (South Campus and Research Park) seeking phase‑1 need and fiscally constrained status.

Level‑2 requests (site summaries provided by WFRC staff) that the TAC considered for recommendation included roadway widening and new construction intended to improve access to employment centers and regional corridors: South Frontage Road (new construction in West Valley), 6200 South (widening between Mount View Corridor and SR‑111), the 6700 West corridor connector, and 2700 West widening; Box Elder’s project proposed widening 41200 West near Brigham City. WFRC staff said many projects were programmed or advanced by the county-of‑the‑first‑class highway project funds allocated by the Legislature.

After technical review, the TAC took a motion and second and voted to recommend that the Regional Growth Committee review and approve the level‑2 board modifications in Amendment No. 3. The chair announced the projects will be presented to the RGC on May 15 with level‑1 items finalized beforehand.

Votes at a glance:
- Approval of meeting minutes (February 19, 2025): motion moved by Zach (Murray City representative), seconded by Joe Taylor (Salt Lake City) — vocal aye(s); no oppositions recorded during the meeting.
- RTP Amendment No. 3 (level‑2 board modifications): TAC motion to recommend to the Regional Growth Committee — motion carried by vocal affirmations during roll call; staff scheduled the RGC hearing for May 15.

No formal board-level funding was approved at the TAC meeting; the TAC’s action was a recommendation to the Regional Growth Committee.","WFRC staff presented Amendment No. 3 to the 2023–2050 Regional Transportation Plan; the TAC voted to recommend that the Regional Growth Committee approve the level‑2 board modifications at its May meeting.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6270600,"Statewide ‘regional connectivity grid’ study seeks local feedback via web map",656,1231000,1887000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3033298-756e89aebdf5263c830559359681f629&start=1231&end=1887","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3033298-756e89aebdf5263c830559359681f629/thumbnail_1231000.jpg","/articles/6270600/Utah/Statewide-regional-connectivity-grid-study-seeks-local-feedback-via-web-map","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6270600-0a54413a35b6d8aa50e33ea01d5cc675/orig.mp4?Expires=1770398071&Signature=A7wbmpdjiYouqxzCb9s3Gv19hTDeT0ehm4KC0ktdjo9VAfYP0GU0wjnCdeDC4eteDTVNIjHfwsE53JjmCCDw7jFJnidIUaSllgbPGnqILhhuCWoUC32bh6lBi2dGHtSpdpKmvNnJ9grmOlK1dAK3Zrm~j3q4zYyrpi3nQdlJmQyvK61z4x6M0tfwpaLyYFedp04aWU7koMBieK-jBVrm9IV~jG4bFi9ZFutKRoxbK49AhigF8F2vyjZXh~7md3rz5LxvsBU7uSkwuIH7F3~eMAPkXbvZW5~-pIxtdilHFfkx9hx3PwF~wSWHRccKxXkdQ1kkp8D2B~xpu68eH5oj6g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Planners for a legislatively directed statewide regional connectivity grid study briefed the TAC on the study’s goals, approach and request for local feedback.

The presenter said the Utah Legislature funded the study in the 2023 session and charged the state’s MPOs, UDOT and transit providers to identify prioritized, feasible grid-network concepts for each region. Study staff clarified the work is an early-stage exercise to generate candidate projects and not a funding or formal prioritization commitment — formal funding would proceed through the RTP process.

Study staff described three work areas: an assessment of current grid connectivity, concept development and testing, and creation of a “toolbox” to help MPOs carry promising concepts into RTPs and corridor/area studies. Analysis uses GIS and the regional travel model and evaluates accessibility, network efficiency, resiliency and fair access to regional amenities.

Members were invited to review an online web map (link to be shared by WFRC) and submit comments. Presenters requested feedback within the next couple of weeks and said the web map will be the primary venue for comments at this phase, with potential one-on-one follow-ups for high-priority or controversial concepts later.

Presenters said the exercise intentionally includes challenging concepts and “spicy” alignments to test what could materially improve regional mobility; all concepts will undergo further refinement, modeling and public review before any recommendation to fund projects.

No formal TAC action was requested at the briefing; staff said they will return with refined lists and concept sheets and cost estimates for the most promising projects as the study advances.","A legislatively directed statewide study will produce concept projects to improve multimodal grid connectivity; MPO staff asked TAC members to review a web map and provide feedback over the next few weeks.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6270605,"Murray City outlines major downtown redevelopment, museum and theater reopenings",730,499000,1229000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3033298-756e89aebdf5263c830559359681f629&start=499&end=1229","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3033298-756e89aebdf5263c830559359681f629/thumbnail_499000.jpg","/articles/6270605/Utah/Murray-City-outlines-major-downtown-redevelopment-museum-and-theater-reopenings","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6270605-fb16e90a7a985526caeb96fc598539ca/orig.mp4?Expires=1770447534&Signature=M42tzd78140XiGdYtFo5Bn6FBajhGmNJLUNOdYh0Nnj0fNeN9Kv08p8T8W5~qDfvE6shhzuXil-Ve97i4caUI~OuZhCwY62hEa~LK0bbRMP~jhmKJfgxsxR91Pf4g2lzJGaIhHIZt0CwtrNpCAAgFt7x5tqxUgNDcp87uie68kR39TPhX3W4EoqGucpY9ESWFlvZZzuJ0vwOkGEMTVcxpIAoDmC3hm0ytY8lj8-5FzxoSZRAmzq4QhgkYq9HyZ8rhyoCScgkFtiDO0EBaOz4WMcKQTl0Ll2ZAzhkDHwcLvozrb-jQ5DEzDVN0Va-fe5zTeRiTl6zBtQ5UHZSXVcWlA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Murray City planners on the Regional Growth Technical Advisory Committee meeting described ongoing downtown redevelopment projects, a cultural campaign called “Love Murray,” and station-area housing near transit nodes.

Planners said the city has entitled about 3,100 new housing units in the last five years concentrated around transit stations, highlighted institutional employers such as Intermountain Medical Center and Fashion Place Mall, and previewed three public projects — the Murray Museum, Murray Armory event center and Murray Theater — that will be promoted under the Love Murray campaign.

The presentation said the Murray Museum (the Cahoon Mansion restoration) will be showcased with a block party on May 2, and the armory and theater openings will follow later in the year. The Murray Tower project will replace the old city hall with medical office buildings, for-sale townhomes and stacked flats adjacent to Murray Park; speakers said the project is in entitlement and expected to proceed to construction \"fairly soon.\"

Planners also summarized work at transit station areas: Fireclay (Murray North Station) remains a redevelopment focus with a public safety element in the station-area plan; Murray Central was described as a uniquely significant multimodal station (FrontRunner, future BRT and multiple bus lines) and is the subject of an ongoing concept study; and Fashion Place West will be updated as a station-area plan intended to encourage maker-space and local retail uses complementary to Fashion Place East.

Speakers emphasized historic preservation efforts, noting an estimated tens of millions of dollars spent on the Murray Theater rehabilitation and restoration work at the Cahoon Mansion. The presentation noted that some underground utilities and historic conditions revealed unexpected repair needs during construction work.

The presentation closed with an offer to answer questions and an invitation to TAC members to follow up.
