Description
This crosswalk on 8400 West is way too dangerous for pedestrians, especially at night. I've seen cars almost hit people and I've almost been hit myself. There has already been a death on this sidewalk, and another pedestrian who was seriously injured as both were hit by cars. I've reported this problem back in February and have yet to seen any change to this crosswalk. Come on UDOT, how many more lives do we have to but at risk for you to act? Others and myself already pay taxes for the safety of the public. Add a another streetlight and a pedestrian light that warns cars to stop.

I apologize for the delay on responding to this issue. UDOT is committed to safety for all people on our roadways.
There have been some significant improvements to this pedestrian crossing at 3655 S and 8400 W.
We have moved the crossing further way from the signal at 3500 S, we installed a HAWK crossing, with pedestrian actuated flashing red lights, and we installed additional lighting to help with visibility of pedestrians during the night.
If you have additional questions or concerns, please let us know. You can also call us during regular business hours at (801) 975-4900.
