Public hearing held on ‘Life on State’ safety upgrades; city proposes median at Haven Avenue
Summary
The council opened a public hearing on the Life on State safety project, which would close the northbound left onto State Street at Haven Avenue by installing a center median and corner bulbouts; final construction drawings are due in January and construction is planned for summer 2026.
The council scheduled and opened a public hearing on the Life on State project (State Street safety upgrades) during its Jan. 14 meeting. City staff said the project is intended to increase safety and reduce accidents along State Street by installing traffic control measures that include a center median at the Haven Avenue intersection and corner bulbouts to shorten pedestrian crossings and slow turning speeds.
Agenda materials list Sharen Hauri to present information and answer questions. The presentation slides note that the project would eliminate the northbound left turn from Haven Avenue onto State Street, install a new center median with a protected mid‑block refuge at Parley’s Trail and add corner bulbouts at local cross streets. The slide timeline shows final construction drawings scheduled for January, bidding and contracting in February–April, and construction planned for summer 2026. Staff also referenced Utah rule R930‑2 and noted that State Street is a UDOT facility, meaning the hearing and coordination follow UDOT public‑hearing procedures.
