No. ________ of 2026
(Indefinitely closing a portion of 200 South Street between
Montgomery Street and approximately 1640 West)
An ordinance indefinitely closing a portion of 200 South Street as a public right-of-way,
between Montgomery Street and approximately 1640 West, pursuant Utah Code Section 72-5-
105.
WHEREAS, a portion of 200 South Street near Montgomery Street includes a railroad
crossing that is to be included in a new railroad quiet zone; and
WHEREAS, Utah Code Section 72-5-105(7) allows a municipality to indefinitely close a
street if it meets one of the following conditions:
•The street is not necessary for vehicular travel;
•The closure is necessary to correct or mitigate injury to private or public land resources
on or near street; or,
•The closure is necessary to mitigate unsafe conditions.
WHEREAS, the City has determined that the section of 200 South Street described above
meets all three conditions outlined in Utah Code Section 72-5-105(7) because: there are low
traffic volumes on this portion of 200 South Street, indefinite closure will contribute to the
creation of a federal quiet zone, which will mitigate noise injuries and improve adjacent private
property resources; and indefinite closure is the best method to mitigate the inherently unsafe
conditions the railroad crossing presents compared to the expenses and engineering challenges
associated with installing the alternative safety features; and
WHEREAS, the City has partnered with the affected railroad entities as part of
establishing a new quiet zone, the goals of which include addressing unsafe conditions and

mitigating injury to private and public land resources on or near the street at the 200 South Street
railroad crossing; and
WHEREAS, an indefinite closure is allowed after following the procedures specified
under Utah Code Section 72-5-105(4)-(5), which requires the City to hold a public hearing on the
indefinite closure and provide notice to the Utah Department of Transportation and the adjacent
landowners of the public hearing.
NOW, THEREFORE, be it ordained by the City Council of Salt Lake City, Utah:
SECTION 1. Indefinitely Closing City-Owned Right-of-Way. That, in accordance with
Utah Code Section 72-5-105(7), a portion of 200 South Street between Montgomery Street and
approximately 1640 West, which is more particularly described on Exhibit “A” attached hereto,
hereby is indefinitely closed as a public right-of-way.
SECTION 2. Effective Date. This Ordinance shall take effect immediately after it has
been published pursuant to Utah Code § 10-3-711 and § 10-3-713.
Passed by the City Council of Salt Lake City, Utah this 19th day of May, 2026.
