The entrance tollhouse to the road was located near 3300 East in the gulch of Parley's Canyon.The road proved difficult to maintain during winter when drifts of snow could reach ten feet in height.As a continuous whole,the toll road fell into - disuse after just one year. In response to public outcry about the lack of upkeep,the Territorial Legislature approved an A 1852 bill entitled "An Act for Improvement of Big Kanyon [sic] ' Creek Road." In 1855,a road company was created to make ., improvements to the route and make it a passable road. •=-.. i. • - 0 1 if Stagecoach service through Parley's Canyon began in 1858. -- - ��;, 1.1 I. , r In 1860,the canyon became the chosen route for the United - = -1 I .._ _ States Mail overland routes of the Pony Express and,soon iiiiii ---, - - -PIMP after,the Overland stagecoaches.The road was becoming the major thoroughfare for travelers to and from the East.As Country Club Motor Lodge and Valley View Coffee Shop,examples of travel shifted to the automobile,the route became part of the historic travel related businesses located along the corridor. transcontinental Lincoln Highway. Guide posts were set along — the Parley's Way route in 1918. ■r I During this era as a primary regional travel corridor,the land ' ' use along Parley's Way shifted to travel-related commercial ' • businesses,such as the Country Club Motor Lodge and Valley View Coffee Shop.Other early land uses in the area include ill/.

By nlillK7 'goo 1948 the portion of this route that would come to be known a ��. �. ... . . as Foothill Drive was completed. Like Parley's Way, Foothill �' ti.....0?� Drive begins at the mouth of Parely's Canyon. However, it - -„ '' angles north to connect to the University of Utah and on to '�- ~ downtown Salt Lake City. In the 1950s construction of the 1-80 freeway began.

PARLEY'S WAY CORRIDOR PLAN 21 DESIGN GUIDELINES Views As a diagonal road connecting the mouth of Parley's Canyon to Salt Lake City's orthogonal grid street network, Parley's Way is unique in its orientation and offers distinct views not seen elsewhere in the City.The views to Downtown and to the Wasatch Mountains are a major component of Parley's Way identity.To enhance and protect these views, no new overhead lighting or traffic management equipment should be installed that would block any portion of the views framed along Parley's Way. Billboards or other forms of visual clutter would detract from the views and are highly discouraged. Enhancing Natural Beauty with Landscaping The use of native plants in the median and park strips is another strategy to create an identifiable theme. Local plants recall the historical appearance of this City gateway while reducing water use.The image below depicts a palette of native plants that could be used in the corridor. Adapted plants could be incorporated as minor elements in the planting palette to provide variety.

The Parley's Way streetscape has been divided into three distinct components:street,sidewalk,and adjacent land use. Each is introduced in the following paragraphs,with specific design guidelines for each component following. Street refers to the physical street infrastructure including travel lanes, bike lanes,turn lanes,center median, crosswalks,curb and gutter,and shoulder. Sidewalk refers to the entire sidewalk environment from edge of curb and gutter to the private property line including parkstrip,sidewalk and landscaping.This area may also include other amenities including lighting,signage, public art,street furniture and active transportation PARLEY'S WAY CORRIDOR PLAN 23 DESIGN GUIDELINES 104.,.-4• �j.

Crosswalks extensions, known as bulb-outs,would extend the sidewalk pulled back from the roundabout increase pedestrian and narrow the roadway width. By decreasing the walking visibility. Narrowed approaches result in a shortened distance from curb-to-curb,the pedestrian crossing crossing distance.The center of the roundabout could distance at 2300 East on Parley's Way is reduced. Refuge feature a streetscape design element or public art piece. islands are also recommended at the center of the crossing distance to enhance pedestrian safety and comfort.An The roundabout has several strengths beyond reducing additional benefit of curb extensions is that sight lines motorist speed and crash severity. It provides a powerful between pedestrian and motorist are enhanced resulting in opportunity to enhance the identity and arrival to the increased safety. Reducing the roadway width also allows corridor.While feasible, it does not maximize all the goals the vehicle travel lanes to be "right-sized" (not too wide) of the plan,such as improving walkability and bikeability. which can help to reduce the speed of automobiles. Thus,it is not the preferred recommendation. Option C:Roundabout-Complete Transformation Summary All three potential options are feasible once funds are available for reconfiguration of this intersection. However, the moderate transformation option is the preferred recommendation because it maximizes benefits in all areas of consideration as well as integrating most effectively with the corridor right-of-way transformation recommendation. The moderate option was also highly favored by community members. Depending upon priorities and the resources available at the time of implementation,each of these scenarios could be appropriate.Thus,all three have been included in this plan.

National bicycle and pedestrian expert Michael developed in direct response to public comment.One Ronkin mused that when we see someone walking towards example of this is the item of on-street parking.From a us we don't think"here comes a pedestrian,"we think transportation engineering perspective,Parley's Way meets "here comes a person."People.That is why this plan was criteria for a"road diet"of converting the road from five created.This is summed up well in the words of one child lanes of traffic to three lanes(two in each direction with a who just wants to easily cross the street"on feet and on center turn lane)and on-street parking.In the city planning bikes"(see image of open house comment card below). world,on-street parking is considered an effective strategy to bring activity to the street and create a human scale walkable street. However,reception to this idea at the open house and from the survey was lukewarm at best.And so this recommendation was not carried forward in the scenarios. As the recommendations in this plan are implemented,it is important to keep in mind the public process that created it.The people behind the process--those who live,work, and shop along Parley's way--are the purpose of the plan.
