5 issues in transportation with critical priority
Infrastructure and Road Construction
The city of Herriman will see major traffic shifts starting September 29 due to the construction of new bridges at the intersection of 13400 South and Bangerter Highway. This project, undertaken by UDOT, aims to alleviate traffic congestion in the area. Residents should care because this construction will temporarily disrupt daily commutes but ultimately improve traffic flow and safety in the long run.
2026 Transportation Master Plan Update
This update is critical for managing Herriman's rapid growth, addressing current and future traffic congestion on key roads like 12600 South and 13400 South, and planning for long-term infrastructure needs through 2050. It includes phased projects for intersections, road widening, and potential transit solutions like BRT.
Traffic Safety
A recent auto-pedestrian crash on Mountain View Corridor, which resulted in the death of a jogger, has brought attention to traffic safety concerns in Herriman. Residents should care about this issue as it affects the safety of pedestrians and could potentially lead to changes in traffic regulations or infrastructure improvements.
Road Closure
A water break in Herriman has caused road closures and flooding, disrupting local infrastructure. Two basements have been flooded, and emergency services are working to resolve the issue. Residents should care because this affects their daily commute, property safety, and potentially city budgets.
Road Safety
Herriman residents are concerned about the lack of safety measures on an unpaved road, which they compare to the 'wild west'. This issue is important because it affects daily commutes and could lead to accidents if not addressed. Residents should care as road safety is crucial for their well-being and the city's reputation.
