The University of Utah Research Park
The Strategic Vision Study
August 2020
Proposed Vision
A Next Generation Innovation Community. A diverse, compact, and amenity-rich walkable district next to a world-class university where emerging and established Salt Lake City innovators can live, work, and collaborate on some of the most critical issues we face now and in the future.

2 High Capacity Transit and Connectivity
WFRC Regional Model Transit Mode Share for the University and UURP
Research Park is limited by poor connectivity to existing TRAX stations and fixed route transit service to Main Campus
Main Campus: 2019: 12% 2030: 14% 2040: 16%
Health Science: 2019: 9% 2030: 11% 2040: 13%

2 High Capacity Transit and Connectivity
UURP Transit Mode Share Results: 2030: 4.6% • BRT routing through URP along Arapeen Connector, Campus Circuit and Mobility Hubs
2040: 11.9% • Addition of TRAX Black Line with direct connection to URP
* Mode shifts are based on WFRC Choice travel demand patterns and URP proposed increases in HCT service quality, exclusive of Phased Land Development plans.
3 Shared Parking Model and Policies Reductions
Shared Parking Analysis Balancing land uses by parking needs and time of day 625 spaces
38% less parking
390 spaces
Why do this analysis? • Demonstrate value of sharing
• Present and illuminate trade-offs
• Test parking ratios and TDM impacts for CC&Rs
• Help right-size parking supply by development phase

Key Findings • Parking, TDM, Transit programming planned within 10 years can mitigate most new Phase 2 generated trips
-27,500 daily trips compared to traditional suburban development of same scale (Phase 3)
• Extension of Black Line terminal station into URP is critical for increasing transit mode share
• Left turns into site during peak hours will be most impacted from new trips with Phase 3
+8-26%
increase in peak hour vehicle trips (Existing to Phase 3: 250% increase in development) Results – 7/24/20
