INTRODUCTION The West Salt Lake Master Plan and other policy and vision documents produced u,e 1 L r for the City and region have identified the 9 Line corridor as a major east to ...re... west multi-modal transportation corridor with the potential of drawing attention - _ ,,,�„�„ / `� to community assets,and spurring redevelopment in the neighborhoods it _ lI traverses. ,f ' ' ter+ `s1 PHYSICAL&CULTURAL CONTEXT I 1' ( ..._ The 3-mile trip along today's 9 Line corridor passes through several \ I ' j neighborhoods with a wide range of land uses,including commercial, 1 residential and industrial/manufacturing.Some of the neighborhoods are ....0,,.. .,,0..in transition,such as the Central Ninth neighborhood near the eastern \--.;,:r*.11 w.tr�gateway and areas adjacent to the Granary District.Others are more .� " established single-family residential neighborhoods,such as those along the t1 5 . •„ IIIG- corridor between the Jordan River and Redwood Road. The neighborhoods along the 9 Line are the most ethnically diverse Mt . i e� iI neighborhoods in Salt Lake City. The ethnic diversity contributes to the ,.,s cultural characteristics of the neighborhoods.The culture of the area also A includes one of activity,ranging from a culture of bicycling,walking and j 0e. recreating,which are highlighted in the West Salt Lake Master Plan.Each "" of these"cultures"will use and experience public spaces differently.The 9 Line provides new areas for the various cultures to mix and opportunities to The 9 Line corridor is on of the major east to west corridors in the Salt Lake Valley,linking a number of showcase how different cultures use public spaces. parks and transportation networks.The corridor is highlighted in orange. Beginning with the railroad,continuing with industrial development,and H finally with the construction of 1-15,the City and its residents have had to I. • • t W address a concern identified by many residents as the"east-west divide." MI .��. . 1-- Z The east-west divide connotates a negative reflection of the city,and many .t r t feel the concern has never been adequately addressed. While there are ,,,It` , 45,41 1.. .:I,,, *. '' li_. , It r V 0 many aspects to the divide,connectivity is a major component of it. U , - ti ''' lip; od WHY THE 9 LINE CORRIDOR MASTER PLAN? 0 ' ' iii, ` • Z • The 9 Line Corridor provides an opportunity to begin to create meaningful, iHn useful connections despite the barriers related to the east-west divide.City- -., H owned vacant land under the 1-15 bridge and west of the bridge could be j Q a unique gathering place with a mix of art,recreation,and transportation aiit ' that reflects not only the culture of the neighborhoods, but the changing \r _ , %t 0 ci culture of the City as a whole.Actions such as this will not break down the ',, ,FIIIILt east-west divide alone, but are a first major step towards doing so. With continuing growth and development in the surrounding areas,it l ,. k L / �`� 0 became necessary to produce this Master Plan to direct development n s r / Y along the corridor and its immediate context,while assisting in crafting a "' 'f' r DC vision for varying degrees of redevelopment expected at specific nodes in - ,fit '\ -0 he the vicinity of the corridor. 0 Residents read information on the 9 Line public outreach boards at the Riverfest Event.June 1,2013 Q m 6 ' 9 LINE TIMELINE s 05 �lr•;, . 10 Gi a4c�P`'� yam° L 4,_.- op' °4;5 o�aye e .,! ,q F ao S .'D a * ,• ,�ayd' s as `a` �`° e �5��e e `�' Js�c ey` a�4 Vd'^� 6.'6�cAo6 y z <P 09 5a,a .•'A°ce caao,�oa a �aa8 f ,`1 0�4: d'o w%a a°� o Q�Qa e9° o`�z de 't aQeyeo Qao `�QSS,a �°F 9 v°o .a oa +•. ii Sti, , ��oo°°a,4. a y� ° 4. °°.d b„, 0 e Q0 t' d`r&df. boa 5° o�Q� Sa Q ° ..� ceaQa b S' eQ� as a �$� Q' P yQs ye o )°A �� Ja 2 16 1918 �923 1944 1952 1892 ,y) 1907 0' 09 X 1934 / 1950 W 1� Z / / 1941 / Q c.1900 / ) U aa'0m a� 1902 1913 1917 1921 1936 ? 1943 1948 cogQ a'a°°o Q y. 1903 1906 +° e°4 J.b' ,, :c a°a° �c Z Z,F� c°° 05 °off °o°° ys s e ° r` s'`�o°�s yj° c° oyo°s a a �� / e as o°o° ,c•�0 i= m oa a a A.

Equity-program the trail and its nodes to allow use by a range of culture user groups-intergenerational,multiple non-motorized modes,and multiple speeds/uses.Whether it is a person strolling through to enjoy the landscaping and nature or a commuter passing through to their job,the safety trail will recognize and embrace this diversity. Sustalnabiliy-best practices in regard to the built environment(solar equity powered lighting and repurposed materials),natural envionment(use of native landscaping,creation/preservation of natural habitats),and social and cultural environments(encouraging/supporting diverse users groups,being a hub of activity,connecting people and place). S u s t a i n a b i I i t y Culture-connections to the history of the area and the culture of the corridor and surrounding neighborhoods.Incorporating art,lighting,and including/programming areas that celebrate this culture(restaurants, cafes,and other gathering spaces).Creating layers of activity and experiences for all users.Stitch into surrounding neighborhoods, complement/enhance them.Enhance and enliven spaces along, adjacent to.and nearby the corridor. Z 0 V) 11 9 LINE CORRIDOR MASTER PLAN VISION OBJECTIVES The objectives for the master plan area synthesis of the ideas generated by the community through an extensive public outreach process as well as analysis performed by the design team.Five objectives capture the direction of the program ideas presented in the master plan: objectives Destination; • The corridor master plan will seek to balance the needs of local users, as well as non-local users passing through as commuters,while creating lively spaces along the linear parkway where people congregate. destinationPlay;• The activities along the 9 Line corridor will be chosen to appeal to a variety of audiences of all ages,nationalities,and socioeconomic play backgrounds to unify neighborhoods through recreation. Nature; • Connecting with nature will be a point of emphasis for the 9 Line, nature including protecting and restoring native habitats,providing wildlife habitat for a variety of species,and supporting community gardens. Connections; connections • The 9 Line corridor will physically and culturally connect neighborhoods on the east and west sides of the City,via a regional transportation trail network. ar t Art; • Interactive artwork will be encouraged,allowing the corridor to act as a public space for free expression that is fluid,rather than static and conventional.

Ci yP 9 21 TYPICAL PROPOSED TRAILWAY CONDITIONS ADDITIONAL TRAIL REST AREAS Currently there is a 10-foot wide asphalt trail through most of the corridor with no striping In order to accommodate users of all ages and abilities,rest areas are proposed along of any kind.It is mostly successful in accommodating all forms of movement along the 3-mile corridor.Community members frequently requested these opportunities to the trail,however there are occasional incidents between cyclists and pedestrians,as rest as well as a few basic amenities including a small shaded seating area,wayfinding well as commuters and recreational users.In order to avoid these conflicts,and once maps,lighting,trash and recycling receptacles,bike racks set amidst trailway future demand necessitates expansion,an additional trail and striping of the existing landscaping.Consideration should be given to balance safety issues when determining trail is proposed.In this proposal,the existing asphalt trail remains in place with a new the elements to include at rest areas.They may also include drinking fountains,restrooms, stripe through the center to divide it into bi-directional bicycle traffic in a pair of 5-foot art,and interpretive signage.One such station per mile should be sufficient,and these lanes.On the north side of the existing trail an additional 8-feet of pathway should be facilities already exist at the centrally-located Jordan Park.Two additional areas should constructed with 36 inches of separation between the trails in the form of a rain garden. be constructed,one near each end of the corridor at destinations along the trail where With no striping,this general use path is intended to serve the needs of all users besides cyclists are most likely to stop.Ingress and egress into rest areas should be carefully cyclists along the trail.In order to distinguish this path from the cycling path,it should planned to avoid potential conflicts.Additionally,minor rest areas comprised of benches have a different color and texture,preferably some form of pervious paving to avoid should be located every 1/2 mile along the trail primarily to provide an opportunity increasing impermeable hardscape in this urban context.Any equity or access issues for pedestrians to rest at key points of interest.This standard has been successfully that could exist along the trail will be addressed by creating two pathways with sufficient incorporated along recreational trails in cities such as San Jose and Portland. capacity and signage.This provides equal access and utility to users of all ages and SIGNAGE abilities by separating speeds,intended use and movement type. For greatest effect,signage should be used sparingly.If signage becomes ubiquitous,it VEGETATION is easily overlooked.It will be important that signage along the trail is consistent,giving a unique,uniform appearance along the length of the corridor.It is proposed that signage The existing state of the vegetation along the corridor leaves much to be desired.This evoke the historic and industrial nature of this corridor by utilizing rail-themed signage is immediately obvious to any user of the existing trail,and was mentioned frequently installations at key intersections only to avoid overuse.Another important issue regarding by members of the local community.The existing vegetation does not provide much signage is utility for all users,as many of the area residents do not speak English as their beautification along the trail,and in some cases puncturevine and other noxious native language.To address this issue and to make the signage as useful and intuitive weeds cause flat tires or other inconveniences to users of the trail forcing them to as possible,it should be graphic and diagrammatic where possible,avoiding use of text find alternative paths of travel.These should be completely removed and replaced except where required by regulation or common sense. with native and adaptive grasses,shrubs and forbs.Moreover the seed mix should emphasize several phases of seasonal growth and color creating a changing landscape LIGHTING throughout the growing season.This would enhance the visual impact along the trail, Lighting is a powerful way to improve the safety and utility experienced by users of as well as provide useful recreation space,reduce the urban heat island effect,require the 9 Line.It would extend the useful hours of the trail for commuters creating a 24- little or no irrigation,and educate users about the native ecosystems along the 9 Line hour mobility option.If coupled with emergency call boxes,it would also improve the corridor. safety conditions-real and perceived-by current and potential users of the trail. However,the installation of lighting along the trail and at rest areas should not create Another major opportunity to improve the user experience along the trail would be a hardship for residents adjacent to the trail by installing illumination which will shine the installation of shade trees.These should be a variety of native or adaptive trees, into their properties around the clock.This could also contribute to urban sky glow(light �t) with a wide canopy,preferably fast growth species in order to provide this amenity as pollution)and could pose potential harm to small mammals inhabiting the corridor.In Z soon as possible.Similar to the seed mix,tree selection should be studied in-depth to order to avoid these issues,as well as increased electricity costs,it is proposed that solar- provide a variety of species with differing fall colors for an enhanced user experience. powered,full-cutoff bollard style lighting be installed.No more than 36 inches in height, W Moreover,the placement should be irregular depending on the corridor width,and these should be placed in the 36 inches wide linear rain garden between the existing CI adjacent uses providing a variety of experiences and/or screening as one moves along trail and the new proposed trail in order to further delineate these two distinct paths.The the trail.Consideration should be given to providing sufficient natural light on the trail in rill between should be a vegetated,rock-lined swale serving as a rain garden to capture (� the wintertime which includes tree selection and placement.The overall intention is to surface run off from the paths.In order to meet AASHTO standards for lateral obstructions Z achieve the environmental benefits of regenerative urban nature such as shade and on shared use paths,the bollards should be placed 36 inches from the existing path clean air,while also cooling the trail by creating a microclimate below the tree canopy. adjacent to the new path.They should be placed at a regular interval to be determined Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design principles should be incorporated into with enough frequency to provide sufficient light along the trail enabling nighttime use. W this landscape design to avoid creating potential threats with the landscape design. CI 22, TRAILWAY IDENTITY 1 SIGNAGE The signage along the corridor is one of the key ways to carry forward the industrial / I j aesthetic brand,by adapting commonly used rail signage such as overhead signs,pole / 0 qq, `.4c, mounted signals,lights and other typical rail signs.In order to have maximum effect,these �P s aY R R should be reserved for key intersections only to avoid becoming banal and ubiquitous. % r. They would likely use black and yellow extensively,as well as corten steel where possible for further emphasis of the trail's identity.Another way to carry this theme through the trailway is to use labels painted on the trail with street and neighborhood names in similar fashion as seen at rail crossing intersections.This idea should also extend to rest areas,interpretive Typical examples of rail and industrial signage signage,lighting and other fixed elements and amenities on the trail.All signage along the corridor should be coordinated with Parks and Public Lands signage standards. ARTWORK ®IC1161I' @Is MI I II I Public art along the corridor is another way to further emphasize this industrial brand, p 11�f as well as provide recreational outlets.Rather than emphasizing static,delicate public III •IIN� PI V art such as statues,the art along the corridor should be part of a 'living canvas'as i )r �u. well as emphasize movement and motion through the corridor.This means that the art should allow for interactive use by local residents,to invite free expression.This creates opportunities for the diverse population of local residents and trail users to leave their mark on the place.This is intended to create a feeling of utility for all users,and reduce graffiti and vandalism by providing outlets for free expression such as chalkboards,murals,and Gateway Gateway Major Typical Typical free expression painting spaces. Intersection Intersection Intersection Any fixed or static art installed along the corridor should be placed at key intersections Potential signage alternatives to enhance the trailway's identity and brand and may assist in wayfinding and identity of the corridor.It should also intend to further its industrial identity,emphasize biking or other recreational uses of the trail and may even include some of the rail components.Salt Lake City Parks and Public Lands has collected OVERVIEW some of these components from the former rail corridor through Sugar House and South Salt Lake for the return of the streetcar.Creative use of these elements such as rail track The 9 Line passes many important intersections,landmarks and points of and ties,will further the identity of the trail and connect today's users with the historical interest over its 3-mile length.It could easily be confused with these other uses of the corridor.Grouping of art or other site features is desirable where feasible to resources,or simply overlooked.In order to increase its visibility,and by avoid potential maintenance conflicts. extension,increase use and activity,it should have a recognizable brand LANDSCAPING N or consistent theme.To achieve this result,the brand should be unique to W catch the eye of potential users,be informative and serve as a clear form The landscaping should be another recognizable element of the identity of the 9 Line. z of wayfinding for a diverse user group.The proposed brand or identity for The primary component of this will be a seasonal,linear landscaped space winding its I the 9 Line is a rail&industry theme,utilizing similar signage frequently seen way through its urban context.Native and adaptive plant species should be selected, CI along rail lines today.This recalls and celebrates the corridor's historic which will be hardy enough to withstand the semi-arid climate of extreme temperatures usage as a rail line,as well as today's industrial, urban character along and require minimal or little irrigation and maintenance in order to succeed.It is (' the corridor.This should also incorporate the 9 Line's unique and highly understood that some irrigation will likely be required in order for the plants to establish Z recognizable yellow and black logo,which has begun the process of themselves.The long term goals of the landscaping are:for the plants and grasses to be 0 branding and raising the visibility of this urban trail. waterwise and conservative in their use;assist in remediating the damaged soil along the corridor;provide recreational space making this a linear parkway;reduce the urban N heat island affect and express the variety of ecotypes found along the corridor. W CI 23 SIGNAGE/WAYFINDING/ORIENTATION ill [ . WAYFINDING TO THE 9 LINE Because the 9 Line travels in a dedicated corridor throughout most of its �r length,it can be hard for potential users to stumble upon it unless they are looking for it.This means that at key gateways,signage and other �) _ design elements must be intentionally placed to attract their attention. �� This is covered in depth in the"Gateways"section of this document.Pole E JORDAN RIVER ~ ' ) - mounted signage should be placed at key locations in the immediate PARKWAY TRAIL -7" ;! vicinity of the corridor,notifying riders and pedestrians of the location of � -i -- -- ., I the trail.For instance along the bike lane on 800 South and other such �� I:' locations.The signage to be installed should follow the identity guidelines q i, .4.,n • ,h�` I in this document using graphics and diagrams in place of text where '` - . _ - _ possible.These signs should be map-like in nature,providing orientation to { V a ' t` access the 9 Line and the destinations where it can take them. ~� �� :S — -_ An action plan for signage should be prepared to identify other such (I - lam,�.:., P opportunities to inform potential user groups.The trail should also be j . :' , featured on City maps and documents available on the City's website. s,',. ` - - Another important interface along the corridor is between local residential ��-,N► neighborhoods and the 9 Line Trail. Neighborhood residents frequently is _ access the corridor on bike or on foot at local streets which terminate • at the corridor.This is another opportunity to provide useful wayfinding signage which also reinforces the identity of the trail.Miniature 9 Line signs ' can be placed here,as well as signage pointing to major destinations in either direction. Additional signage,such as these signs by Walk Your City would serve to enhance wayfinding and user experience WAYFINDING FROM THE 9 LINE OVERVIEW One of the key issues raised by the community regarding the 9 Line While the orientation of the existing trail is east to west,it can still be is that it feels isolated and hard to find,despite its relative location to an integral part of helping connect people to place north and south many important landmarks.Many cyclists report using nearby bike lanes as well.Travel through many sections of the corridor is faster because because they are easier to locate and access.The lack of signage and it is uninterrupted for the pedestrians and cyclists who use it.However, a recognizable identity decreases the chances that passersby and area this same benefit can also be a detriment,e.g.blocking sightlines to residents will use the trail.This has also become an equity issue,if area destinations for those using the trail.This includes those who know where W residents feel unclear about the nature of the trail and its destinations,then they are trying to go,as well as others who have no particular destination Z it will be underutilized.If the trail is underutilized,it may likely feel unsafe in mind.To inform and encourage the use of the 9 Line to reach other J and local residents,as well as regional users,to feel unwelcome. destinations,it is proposed that the Walk Your City approach be used.This w includes using pole mounted signage with text stating how long it takes 0 The overall goal of the signage and wayfinding along the corridor is to to walk(or bike)to potential destinations.The intention of this type of provide accurate information at key locations for local residents and signage,is to connect people to places in new and exciting ways. 0 regional users,on bike and on foot.Moreover,that all users will be able to Z understand the signage to be able to properly orient themselves to use the 0 9 Line to its full potential connecting them to key destinations. y W CI GATEWAYS MAJOR GATEWAY The major gateways,existing and potential,tend to include intersections �rs with major transportation corridors,other modes of transit,and a high tC4 volume of passersby or potential users.These include the intersection with "�(, 'VI.- _ Trax at 200 West,passing underneath 115,and the future intersections Ilk4!.

Vf W 0 25 TYPICAL INTERSECTIONS SAFETY Safety is of utmost importance at these intersections.Cycle barriers have been placed adjacent to the local street to slow riders to encourage them to look both ways before crossing.In addition,a yield sign reminds users (both pedestrians and cyclists)to yield to cars before crossing through the striped intersection.These elements seem to be effective in slowing riders u 11 before they enter the intersection. __ o Currently,a 9 Line sign and two solid white stripes inform drivers of the (�,`11. 6 r intersection with the trail.Field observations and community feedback t?

Currently the 9 Line western terminus is at Redwood Road,however for the purposes of this plan,a design will be generated for the rail corridor between Redwood and the Surplus Canal.Once this connection is made,the current 9 Line corridor would be linked to additional employment centers,recreational opportunities and future transportation networks.In order to realize the more involved potential program options,additional property may need to be required by Salt Lake City. S ADJACENT LAND USES o Given the convenient access to the rail line,and the current access to major eywr _ *, interstates and highways for shipping,the adjacent land uses are primarily industrial s'17� and manufacturing in nature,with much of the adjacent land which remains vacant or being utilized for storage.These uses can create sights,sounds and smells which are not ideal from a recreational use perspective.However these businesses represent significant employment centers.Providing mobility options for commuters seeking to access places of employment will be a major benefit once the connection is made from Redwood Road to the Surplus Canal. 11 r..-"��5 IMPORTANT NODES/POINTS OF INTEREST -_- The intersection of the rail corridor with the Surplus Canal represents a major \wercxxxst l ' .` _ opportunity from a recreational perspective.Access to a major body of water such r_yr as the Surplus Canal,is a unique opportunity in the Salt Lake Valley,and would r Me. `\ represent the second water access point along the 9 Line corridor.Having access ne" to the Jordan River and the Surplus Canal would situate the 9 Line as a crucial 1°rt,°,," �m" '�� `� q d connection between these unique water-based recreational nodes.

FOUNDATIONAL PROJECTS The master plan process for the 9 Line corridor has preliminarily identified three initial, B.Landscape Installation and Establishment foundational projects.These projects are considered necessary to implement initially in order to establish a strong foundation upon which other recommended projects can One of the most frequently mentioned aspects of the existing corridor in need of build.Without these in place,the success of other projects could be compromised,or improvement is the landscaping.In some cases,this is due to the obvious lack of short-lived.Thus,while some may be more costly than other projects,they are crucial improved landscaping.For the most part however,this is because of noxious weeds to the long-term success of the overall vision for the 9 Line corridor. ('goat heads')that have taken over the landscape.At certain times of the year,such as the fall,they make the trail almost unusable.causing some riders to opt for the bike lanes These projects have been selected based on public input,research of best practices, on 800 South.If the landscape is not installed,established and in some cases replaced, and a study of nationwide precedents.They are: it will impede the ability to successfully implement most of the other recommendations in this master plan.The vision for the landscape is outlined in the"Typical Proposed Trailway A.Maintenance Plan Conditions".It entails the creation of a water-wise,seasonal landscape featuring native or adaptive species and creating an interactive and pleasant experience for the users The maintenance plan should address short and long-term needs of the landscape in of the trail.In order to explore and implement the vision for the landscaping,detailed the corridor,including variations based on season.This includes provisions for clean-up landscape drawings will need to be developed,including for the section yet to be at the end of the growing season,as well as snow and ice removal in the wintertime, acquired between Redwood Road and the Surplus Canal. to allow the trail to be used for commuting and recreational purposes year-round. Funding sources should be identified to meet the stated goals of the maintenance This should be developed with cooperative efforts from the aforementioned maintenance plan.It should seek to incorporate sustainable features and practices throughout plan to ensure the future success and viability of the 9 Line corridor;not only as a the landscaping and sitework,as well as signage,lighting and the trailway.When neighborhood amenity for local residents,but as a part of a regional trail network selecting materials or equipment,emphasis should be placed on local products that throughout the Salt Lake Valley.Overlapping areas such as consideration of how much respond to a life-cycle assessment,not only first cost. effort the ongoing maintenance of the landscape will require,as well as providing maximum solar exposure for the trailway in the wintertime for passive snow melt. The City has the obligation to maintain the corridor but a maintenance plan should be developed in coordination with members of the local community who are C.I-15 Gateway Improvements interested in finding opportunities for community ownership in the corridor.These may include small-scale maintenance,community gardening efforts and tactical As the 9 Line passes underneath the bridge at 1-15,it becomes an uncomfortable and improvements.They may also remain involved as detailed drawings ore developed to unsafe experience.For many users of the trail,this is a major gateway or connection ensure that designs reflect goals of this plan and culture and needs of the surrounding point for east to west travel or vice versa.However,in its current condition,it feels more neighborhoods. like a barrier.Long waits,loud noises and safety issues are some of the concerns which must be improved to adequately address some of these concerns.The 9 The ongoing development of the S Line in the communities of Sugar House and South Line Trail provides an opportunity to begin to create meaningful,useful connections Salt Lake provides a prescient example of how the 9 Line Corridor Master Plan may despite these barriers.In addition,the City-owned vacant land under the 1-15 potentially be implemented.A community organization,the Friends of the S Line,has bridge and west of the bridge could be a unique gathering place that mixes art, formed and they have been instrumental throughout the design visioning process recreation,landscaping and transportation that reflects not only the culture of the of the S Line Greenway,as well as the project delivery process.The intricate and neighborhoods,but the changing culture of the City as a whole. detailed nature of the overall design of the greenway requires an involved upkeep plan in order to achieve full effect.By virtue of their close involvement in design The City has taken some initiatives to beautify and increase pedestrian safety at the development,the Friends of the S Line will be ideally suited to carry forward the design 1-15 underpass.This should be continued by commissioning art installations(passive Z vision and ensure its continued success in the future. and interactive)and lighting on the columns and abutments of the overpass.Seating, Z landscaping and other pedestrian amenities should be installed to create some comfort This doesn't imply that a new organization necessarily be formed for this purpose. for pedestrians as they wait;in cases where freight trains are crossing the corridor.The ~ There are many active members of the communities along the 9 Line corridor who City should also investigate the widening of the sidewalk at the underpass to create more � are currently involved in improving their neighborhoods,such as the West Salt Lake room for multiple users.The bike pork installed close to this underpass will also add to the Z available activities.This should be enhanced to create a destination for users.
