Description:
The Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) has prepared an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) to evaluate transportation solutions to substantially improve roadway safety, reliability, and mobility on State Route 210 (S.R. 210) from Fort Union Boulevard through the Town of Alta for all users on S.R. 210.
UDOT has selected Gondola Alternative B as the selected primary alternative (which includes tolling as a travel demand management strategy) with phased implementation of components of the Enhanced Bus Service Alternative. Gondola Alternative B includes a gondola alignment from a proposed development south of North Little Cottonwood Road and east of the La Caille restaurant to both the Snowbird and Alta ski resorts in Salt Lake County, Utah. The Gondola Alternative B includes a 2,500-space parking structure at the base station, a new base station access road, and roadway improvements to SR-210. UDOT will implement the following components of the Enhanced Bus Service Alternative: Improved and Increased Bus Service, Resort Bus Stops and a Bus Maintenance and Storage Facility.
UDOT has selected the following sub-alternatives as supporting elements: the Five-lane Alternative on Wasatch Boulevard Alternative; Snow Sheds with Realigned Road Alternative; Trailhead Improvements and No Roadside Parking within ¼ mile of Trailheads Alternative; No Winter Parking Alternative; and the Gravel Pit Mobility Hub.
