Liberty Wells residents have consistently observed drivers traveling at unsafe speeds on our neighborhood streets. We’re working on creating safer, calmer residential streets both at the resident and city level through the following initiatives:
Yard Signs
We're printing and distributing yard signs for Liberty Wells residents to remind drivers to slow down on our residential streets.
We’re printing these signs at no cost to residents and accepting $10 donations to support the effort.
Livable Streets Program
The goal of the Livable Streets Program is to implement traffic calming measures that improve the overall safety, livability, and attractiveness of neighborhood streets in Salt Lake City. We're working with Salt Lake City's Transportation Division to bring attention to the traffic issues in Liberty Wells and push for data-driven traffic calming solutions to reduce speeds on our local streets. You can read more about the program at https://www.slc.gov/transportation/plans-studies/livable-streets/
Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Grant
We're supporting a resident-driven CIP application for traffic calming on and around streets near Hawthorne Elementary. This application, if approved, would fund curb improvements, raised islands, speed humps, or other traffic calming measures to reduce speeds on surrounding streets.
Sweet Streets
Started by a Liberty Wells resident, Sweet Streets educates and advocates for people-first planning, budgeting, implementation and operation of our streets and public spaces. We collaborate with Sweet Streets to highlight the benefits of safer streets, connecting neighborhoods, promoting equity for all residents and building a more sustainable city.
