A bill currently moving through the Utah Legislature, SB 242, would give the state increased control over how Salt Lake City designs its streets and could require the city to modify or remove recently installed bus lanes and protected bike lanes, including those on 200 South. These improvements have made downtown safer, more accessible, and more vibrant for people walking, biking, and riding transit. If passed without changes, SB 242 risks rolling back proven safety and transit investments, prioritizing vehicle traffic flow over safer streets, better transit, and a healthier, more livable downtown.
Protected bike lanes, better crossings, and calmer traffic reduce crashes and injuries for everyone — including drivers.
Faster, more reliable buses mean fewer cars on the road, less congestion, and more affordable transportation options.
Walkable, people-friendly streets increase foot traffic, support restaurants and retail, and boost local economic activity.
