Construction season is in full swing and there are a lot of upgrades underway to make roads and school crossings safer.
It's part of the city's plan to make roads safer for kids walking to school as well as other pedestrians, bikers, and drivers.
"This is an intersection in particular where we have heard a lot of concern from parents about their kids being able to safely get to and from school," Jon Larsen, transportation division director for Salt Lake City said. "Really it's just all about helping the drivers slow down and pay attention to make it safer for people walking and biking. At the end of the day, it's really a linear safety project.
The changes call for shortening crosswalks, adding bike and pedestrian signals, traffic signals, flashing beacons, and concrete curbs in intersections that force drivers to slow down.
