As we move into the final months of 2024, there are critical updates regarding the proposed gondola for Little Cottonwood Canyon and the Utah Department of Transportation's (UDOT) efforts to address traffic issues in Big Cottonwood Canyon. Both projects carry significant impacts for our communities, and we want to ensure you’re informed and prepared to engage in the process.

This winter, UDOT is ramping up traction law enforcement in Big and Little Cottonwood Canyons to improve road safety, thanks to funding from Utah Legislature’s HB 488. In partnership with Cottonwood Heights, Sandy City, and Salt Lake County Sheriff’s Office, dedicated officers will monitor vehicle compliance, especially during the morning uphill commute on snowy or high-traffic days.

We wanted to bring to your attention a critical development on Wasatch Blvd that is not only reshaping our scenic boulevard into something more akin to a freeway but also contributing to growing traffic and parking issues in our community.
