Description
The intersection at 2100 S and 700 E needs a much longer westbound left-turn phase. Ultimately, it needs two-lane left-turn pockets. Right now it takes a full three cycles to drain the single westbound left-turn lane. There is plenty of space for two-lane lefts, but you would need to get rid of the concrete medians and park strips, and move the street lights.

We have considered dual-left turn lanes but are constrained by the lack of right of way on 2100 S. We have discussed with Salt Lake City Engineering as well, as they own and maintain 2100 S. They did not wish to pursue expanding the roadway here.
Thank you,
