I also live in the neighborhood and would like to see a walking bridge put under consideration before someone gets hurt. If budget constraints are an impediment, I'd also be interested in hearing whether UDOT could still move the project forward with financial support from Utah County, Lehi City, and/or private donors. Thank you!

I've witnessed several close calls, despite crossing guards being there. This is now a major hub for Saratoga Springs and Redwood road to i15, as well as increasing traffic around Thanksgiving point. Kids are standing inches away from cars flying through at 60mph. This is not a safe situation for school children anymore as traffic in the area will only increase.

I am terrified to have my children walk or ride bikes to school because of this intersection. Even with everything that is currently available in place, crossing guards and school zone signs, there are WAY too many close calls. There have been reports of children almost being hit and drivers yelling obscenities at the crossing guard in front of the children. I have personally seen kids almost hit while trying to cross. Waiting for an accident to act is simply unthinkable. Something needs to be done to keep our children safe!

Recognizing that a bridge is only one solution, I hope udot will consider how to improve the safety of this intersection in any way possible. We have been discouraged by being asked to rely on crossing guards and police and are looking for some type of physical improvement to the safety of the intersection.

While walking my daughter home from school today with a crossing guard in the middle of the crosswalk holding the stop sign a car turning right sped through the crosswalk we had just started across. They made eye contact with me and the crossing guard and sped through anyway. Cars turning are not yielding to pedestrians or crossing guards. They are going at high rates of speed and are aggressive. On more than one occasion I’ve seen vehicles speed through the intersection narrowly missing children. Their was an officer at the intersection today as well but it did not stop people from speeding, turning illegally or doing various other things that are endangering our children. One officer is not enough for the hundreds of vehicles that go trough this intersection and I’m sure an officer can’t be posted their each day four times a day. I’m hoping something can be done before something tragic happens.

Since school has been in session (5 days) our community pages have been flooded with stories of near misses and close calls at the crosswalks for 2100 N and 2300 W. Our community is extremely concerned with the issue of getting kids safely to school across a 4 lane highway where people are typically driving close to freeway speed. We need to do something to protect these kids! I witnessed 3 children almost get hit on 2300 W. Please help us find a solution. Most think the obvious answer is a skywalk. Something has to be done.

This is a dangerous intersection for kids to be crossing. There are often close calls and oblivious drivers. Let’s please find a better solution. I drive here every day as I live in the neighborhood nearby.

I live in one of the neighbors at this intersection. It is so dangerous, not only during school times, but most of the time. It is far too busy of an intersection for the safety of school children and all pedestrians to cross safely. Drivers are in too big of a hurry to care about the rules of the road. It is a nightmare to get out of our neighborhood and drive anywhere near this intersection during school and rush hours. A skybridge would be great, or having buses take kids from the northern neighborhoods to school. Something needs to be done before we have any serious injuries and/or fatalities, which are inevitable as long as the intersection continues to stay the way it is. With increased development on 2100 N, traffic is rapidly increasing and getting more dangerous.

It is imperative that more be done at this intersection, as traffic only continues to increase, and the road itself will one day be expanded into even more lanes. Having children cross these streets every day is going to lead to serious injury or a fatality one day. We must work together to find a solution before this happens. You will find many people in the surrounding neighborhoods willing to donate, if necessary.

I have seen multiple vehicles run the red light at this interection as well as drivers driving well over the speed limit. It's only a matter of time before someone is killed at this intersection. Traffic is increasing and the problems are just getting worse. Please make a change to keep our kids and community safe.

+1 on everything stated above. One interesting point that doesn't appear to have been made yet is that the intersection might not be so busy if most of the families in the neighbors weren't trying to drive their kids to school in the warmer months. The ONLY reason we don't have our kids just walk to school is this intersection. So, the lack of a bridge 1) is unsafe for kids and 2) puts more cars on the roads which 3) make that intersection more busy, thereby causing 1 again. It's a cyclical pattern that could be solved with some kind of safer alternative.

The Utah Department of Transportation has received your request and we will be looking into the issue. Thank you for taking the time to let us know.

A bridge is just one idea. There have been so many instances where children AND adults have almost been hit. PLEASE care more about people and their lives-something HAS to be changed here.

This intersection is horrible. I have to walk through it with my kids often and it's so stressful. People drive quickly and don't watch for pedestrians. Even with crossing guards present we have had too many close calls. Please change something before someone gets hurt here!

Driving westbound down 2100 you pass a sign that displays the speed of cars going by. I don't think I have gone by it without at least one car going 55 mph, even during busy times of the day, including times when children would be walking to and from school. People are in such a hurry to get through this intersection that far too often people start making right turns without really checking for pedestrian traffic, and left turns are even worse. It's pretty unsafe for the kids.

This intersection is a joke, it needs to be made safe for kids to get to and from school. I am surprised there hasn’t been more accidents or fatalities and I think it’s ridiculous to even think of waiting for a fatility to happen for something to change. And really I don’t understand the functionality of the intersection for cars, especially the small sections between the two lights. I don’t think it should matter how much money it will cost to change it to save lives!!

So unsafe for kids to be crossing this busy road. One fatality is one too many. Please make it safe for our kids to walk to school.

Please dont require a childs life to be the down payment for a bridge.

This is a serious scary problem and I’m hoping that UDOT and Alpine School District take notice and come up with a solution. I’ve personally seen too many close calls with pedestrians, speeding cars, cars running lights and accidents in this intersection.

I drive through that intersection every day, and as a teacher at the nearby school, I worry about my students’ safety. The intersection is always so busy and cars go so fast. The crossing guard helps, but sometimes students stay after school for extra curriculars and have to cross when no guard is present.

This is such a dangerous intersection. I've seen way too many close calls over the years. Please put in a bridge over 2100 N and one over 2300 W. There needs to be 2 for those kids who walk to school. It would be nice if there was a school sign as you are heading south on 2300 West. Its ridiculous there isn't a sign there.

We moved into Cranberry Farms in December of 2016 and I was shocked to discover no buses or anything in place to get these kids to school safely across 2100. I realize the close proximity of the neighborhood to the school but there should either be buses or a skywalk to keep people safe. Especially with all of the homes being built down 2100 and the increase in traffic/population. This needs to be addressed immediately.

For 7 years I have watched the traffic at this intersection get worse and worse. Every year I have notified the Lehi Police and the City council about this intersection. I can't tell you how many times I have seen people doing 60+ in the 40 zone prior to the school zone. I have seen kids almost hit. I personally have been almost hit including last Saturday while going east on the sidewalk at 2300. I am so surprised that no one has been killed at this intersection. Its insane several times a day.

I have to agree with everyone's comments before me, this intersection is starting to become a nuisance/problem. Now that school is currently in session, I myself have seen the problems first hand. Not only are people speeding through these areas during school zone hours, alot of them do not have much disregards as for anyone else who is driving as well. I know that any ideas we put out will cost money and/or extra efforts from law enforcement but I really do think that something needs to be done... If not for the safety of the drivers on the road, than at lease think of the children. I am one for the idea of putting a skywalk, or even a speed reader that takes photographs of speeding offenders but something MUST be done. Before someone is injured or fatalities happen.

Thank you.

Please help to make our intersection safe for all who use it especially our children. In my opinion we need a pedestrian walk way to safely cross the street. Too many cars drive too fast or do not pay attention and I personally have seen some close calls that could have been tragic. We also need a safer way to cross on the north side of the street after the intersection between triumph Blvd and 2150 N. We do not have a crossing guard or a cross walk and almost daily when children are walking to and from school they dart thru traffic to cross. UDOT and Alpine School District please take immediate action and come up with a solution to save lives before we have a death occur. Let’s be proactive and prevent rather than be forced to change after a tragic event. Thank you for your urgent help!

Thank you for your feedback regarding the safety at the intersection of 2100 North and 2300 West. We understand the concern and are working to address it. As a start, we installed a crossing guard key switch at this intersection on Sept. 5, 2018. This switch, when activated by the crossing guard, increases the amount of time for pedestrians to safely use the crosswalks.

Additionally, we initiated a meeting with Lehi City, Alpine School District and North Point Elementary to talk about pedestrian safety at this intersection. The meeting was held in mid-September and a range of potential solutions were discussed. The group is scheduled to meet again in mid-October after determining what can be implemented in this area to improve pedestrian safety.

Information will be shared with residents as we learn more and determine a course of action after that October meeting.
