University of Utah Research Park Strategic Vision Plan

University of Utah Research Park Strategic Vision Plan

Salt Lake City, UT

Nelson\Nygaard developed strategic multimodal transportation network (ped, bike, transit, auto) improvements, as well as parking and transportation demand management policy recommendations to reduce SOV trips.

The University of Utah sought a long-term strategy and long-range land redevelopment vision to evolve the site of their research park to reduce the reliance on single-occupancy vehicle trips (SOV). Nelson\Nygaard supported Perkins&Will on the Strategic Vision Plan to guide the growth of the limited-access and landlocked site into a mixed-use development of education, innovation, quality employment, and recreation, with affordable and walkable housing opportunities. Nelson\Nygaard was responsible for the development of strategic multimodal transportation network (ped, bike, transit, auto) improvements, as well as parking and transportation demand management (TDM) policy recommendations to reduce SOV trips.

Proposed Shuttle Network

Our analysis assessed the overall SOV trip reduction potential associated with mobility hub and first/last-mile mobility solutions in an aggregate and equitable manner. A parking inventory and utilization data analysis was used to inform a shared parking model assessment of proposed parking requirements within future land development scenarios to illustrate a potential range of parking supply surplus or shortfalls.

We identified a series of near-, mid-, and long-term multimodal policy and investment recommendations reviewed and approved by the University Board of Trustees, as well as community stakeholders.
