RE: Main Street Pedestrian Mall Conceptual Design Study
REQUESTED ACTION: Feedback to Economic Development staff
POLICY ITEM: None
BUDGET IMPACTS: None
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City is seeking consultant services to develop a conceptual design study that will provide a
vision, high level recommendations, and a path toward implementing the Main Street pedestrian
mall. The consultant selected will be responsible for managing all aspects of the project outlined in
this scope of work, including examining the current street conditions, creating planning and design
recommendations (including emergency vehicle access, maintenance, utilities access, accessibility
considerations, operations and maintenance needs, landscaping, and drainage, etc.), visualizing
concept designs, and calculating a cost analysis for each future phase of the project.
The study area, Historic Main Street, is 2,650 feet of roadway that runs through the heart of
downtown Salt Lake City, spanning from South Temple to 400 South Street. With multiple
restaurants, shops, bars, office buildings, and entertainment venues, Main Street draws visitors and
residents as a regional centerpiece for arts, entertainment, and commerce. In addition, Main Street
is a complete street, accommodating vehicles and bikes, two light rail lines with two stations, and
heavy pedestrian traffic.
Over the last three years, Salt Lake City and the Downtown Alliance hosted the Open Streets
special event, closing the street to vehicular traffic, giving pedestrians the full use of the roadway,
and granting businesses the use of the sidewalks for expansion of outdoor retail and dining.
Following the success of the Open Streets events, the City is exploring the creation of a permanent
pedestrian mall on Main Street. This study will incorporate the lessons learned from these events
and help inform the public,policy makers, and the administration on design concepts, needs, and
barriers to making the Main Street Pedestrian Mall a reality.

D. What this Plan Seeks to Achieve
The primary objective of this study is to develop phased plans to redesign Main Street as a
pedestrian mall. This includes a high-level analysis of existing conditions, identifying gaps and
barriers, providing recommendations for areas needing further study, and calculating cost
estimates for future project phases including planning, analysis, design, and construction.
While this study is high level in nature, recommendations and estimates need to provide
enough details to inform the City and stakeholders of potential design options and any
infrastructure, policy, and other concerns that need to be addressed.
The plan should consider multimodal circulation within and around the study area at a
conceptual level. Proposed infrastructure changes to support the pedestrian mall must be
designed within the context of existing and planned development, provide accessibility for all
people, allow required access for maintenance, business operations, and emergency services,
and provide additional open space and greening opportunities.
An important element of the plan and process is to engage with the public and project
stakeholders,understand their needs and desires, and use that information to help drive the
plan's vision and recommendations. This also means that the study must consider and promote
equity, support for arts and culture, and promote tourism and economic development.
