Decrease speed limit on Wasatch Archived9053 Kings Hill Place Cottonwood Heights, Utah - Salt Lake CountyThe neighborhood should lobby for a decreased speed limit on Wasatch from the new traffic light north to the light at Bengal Blvd. A 30 mph limit is more suitable for the neighborhood and might encourage the through traffic to seek other routes north and south. -
Traffic Signals Acknowledged8812 S. Blue Jay Lane Salt Lake City, UT - Cottonwood HeightsI live in the Top of the World area which is greatly affected by the new traffic pattern at the bottom of Little Cottonwood Canyon. Now that the northbound traffic from LCC doesn't have to stop, it is nearly impossible for us to egress in or out of our street, Golden Hills Avenue. When I am travelling South and go into the left turn lane to turn into MY NEIGHBORHOOD (I think you've forgotten that this is not a SKI HIGHWAY, we LIVE HERE) I am either nearly rear ended from behind or hit head on from the front. There is a 50 MPH sign for people coming down the canyon INTO OUR NEIGHBORHOOD, but they are doing at least 60, sometimes 70. The lines are painted well enough to encourage traffic to veer right and usually the Northbound traffic is coming straight at me. Trying to egress out of our street to turn South is nearly impossible. To turn North is a little easier...thank goodness everyone from Draper and the ski areas can get through, though. I feel like there was NO CONSIDERATION given to the fact that Wasatch goes through our residential area. We live here. We are not just passing through. You made the intersection work for everyone but the residents. Something has to change. -
7430 Wasatch Boulevard East Cottonwood Heights, Utah - Cottonwood HeightsYou have traffic alone Wasatch with a 50 MPH speed limit and the only thing protecting bikers from being killed by a vehicle is one small strip of paint??? This if very poor, very safe biking infrastructure. At the speed limits you have on Wasatch, there should be a physical barrier between vehicles and cyclists. AT THE BARE MINIMUM, you should have a rumble strip to alert cars that they are leaving their lane of travel and entering a bike lane. I drive Wasatch every day and every day, I watch some car or trunk driving half in the bike lane. I ride my bike from Spring to Fall to commute to work on the route and it terrifies me to know how often cars either don't pay attention or they thinks it's fine to cut a turn and drive in the bike lane or use the bike lane as a right hand turn lane. Just painting a bike road is NO WHERE NEAR ADEQUATE. Oh wait, you didn't even bother to do that..... Please make it safer to bike on Wasatch. Safe biking=more bikers= more commuters on bikes=less traffic=less congestion and less air pollution. -
DANGEROUS ArchivedUt-210 Salt Lake City, UT, 84121, USA - Cottonwood Heights
Stop "FIXING" this area of Wasatch with worse ideas. You now want me to pull out of my neighborhood across two lanes of traffic, while cars are coming down the canyon at 50MPH!? Get real! I hope there is a lawsuit against UDOT the first time someone gets t-boned and killed here.
SLOW DOWN WASATCH TRAFFIC! It's 35 mph all throughout Sandy. Why the need for 50 mph throughout Cottonwood Heights?
How about you show some care for residents, we're your neighbors you know.

Traffic Signals ArchivedS Honeywood Cove Dr & S Wasatch Blvd Cottonwood Heights, UT, 84121, USA - Cottonwood HeightsPOINT 1: Honeywood Cove - west through Wasatch Intersection: There are 2 lanes. 1) Left lane is used for both left hand (southbound wasatch turns) and westbound (straight through to smiths). 2) Right lane is used only for right hand turns (northbound to wasatch).
Problem: 1) Oncoming traffic is not aware of uphill traffic coming from Honeywood Cove. Traffic turning north on Wasatch rarely yields to uphill traffic regardless of the color of the light.
2) Westbound traffic (straight to Smiths), has to carefully crawl into the intersection and yield to left bound turners (heading Northbound Wasatch) even though we have a solid green light for straight west, right north, left south turns.Solution: Bengal to northbound left turn to Wasatch 1) Please keep green solid arrow for only left hand turn GO 2) Yellow blinking arrow for all left hand turns on yield. 3) Solid Red arrow for stop.
2) Drivers going North/South Wasatch either
a) try to beat red or yellow light and hit East/Westbound cars or b) not paying attention and miss red/yellow light.3) Drivers turning right (north) have a green light but drivers coming from Bengal to North Wasatch should yield but don't. They turn as if they have a green arrow.
POINT #2: Eastbound Bengal to North Wasatch and east to Honeywood Cove 1) Left turn lane: Drivers turning left on Wasatch (North) do not yield to oncoming westbound traffic from Honeywood Cove, regardless of the color of light. Please change lights to 1) solid green arrow for left turn GO 2) Yellow blinking arrow when westbound traffic coming through the intersection has a green light. 3) Red arrow for stop.
2) Straight Eastbound Lane to Honeywood Cove. North/South bound traffic on Wasatch comes fast and have to cross with extreme yield to ensure all traffic has come to a stop. Red lights are commonly ran through this intersection. Solution: Add red "warning blinking light" to indicate the upcoming Bengal Blvd/Honeycomb intersection has a red/yellow light.
POINT #3 Southbound Wasatch turning Eastbound to Honeywood Cove/Top of the World
Problem: 1) Left hand turns (eastbound) are very difficult and very dangerous to attempt turn during ski season and commuter hours. Honeywood Cove has a “dip” in the road to enter, which requires a slow to the left turn leaving car sticking out into Wasatch until their car is completely through. Northbound Wasatch lanes are heavily congested from Little Cottonwood Ski Traffic. 2) Left hand turns at red light - drivers turning left from Bengal to Northbound Wasatch take the turn fast and sharp and come very close hitting the front of your car. Would suggest pushing the lane back slightly by 5-10 feet.
3) Ski traffic to Top of the World: When Little Cottonwood is closed or traffic is congested, skiers try to cut and speed through Top of the World/Kings Hill to attempt to beat the traffic on Wasatch. This leads to dangerous speeds and high levels of traffic on Top of the World.Solution: 1) Install green arrow for left hand (eastbound) residents during high traffic and ski season peak hours. 2) Install “ski traffic prohibited in neighborhood” or “no through traffic” during Little Cottonwood closures or congested ski traffic times.
Point #4: Wasatch Blvd heading Southbound (approx 7500 S) Problem: North/South bound traffic on Wasatch travels at high rates of speed and is very common for cars to run yellow and red lights. Cars heading east or west must cross with extreme yield to ensure all traffic is coming to a slow speed or full stop.
Solution: Add red "warning blinking light" to indicate the upcoming Bengal Blvd/Honeycomb intersection has a red/yellow light.
Point #5: Wasatch Blvd heading North (approx 8100 South) Problem: North/South bound traffic on Wasatch travels at high rates of speed and is very common for cars to run yellow and red lights. Cars heading east or west must cross with extreme yield to ensure all traffic is coming to a slow speed or full stop.
Solution: Add red "warning blinking light" to indicate the upcoming Bengal Blvd/Honeycomb intersection has a red/yellow light.

Vegetation Archived8017 S Sunnyoak Cir Cottonwood Heights City, UT, 84121, USA - Cottonwood HeightsThese trees are directly next to my fence line and are growing out of control. Someone from UDOT had come by a few years ago and bored holes in them and, I’m assuming, put something I them to kill them, but they keep coming back. They were successful in killing one of the bigger trees in which the roots were pushing up and damaging my fence, so can we have someone come out again and try to kill this tree again before it can do damage to my fence? There is another next to the fence by our shed that is also too close for comfort, but this site would only allow me to post one pic. My fence line borders Wasatch Blvd. -
