The CWC plan stresses the need to, “shift from cars to transit by increasing transit service,” and “improve transit reliability,” to and through Big Cottonwood all year.īlake Perez, the CWC’s executive director of administration, said the plan has recommendations to improve the canyon ranging from smaller projects like re-striping parking lots, to bigger asks, like proposing the creation of a transit district specific to the Central Wasatch canyons. The big take away from the plan is the need to reduce the number of cars on the winding road through the canyon - which shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone who has been bumper to bumper with other cars this winter or struggled to find a parking spot at trailheads in the summer. The CWC is an intergovernmental agency made up of city, county and state entities with the goal of sustainability along the Wasatch Front. Following a winter of heavy snowfall, closed roadways and frequent traffic jams, local officials now have a plan on paper on how best to address transportation woes in one of Salt Lake’s busiest recreation areas - Big Cottonwood Canyon.Īfter a months-long study, the Central Wasatch Commission (CWC) released its mobility action plan last week, which outlines how it believes the traffic woes could best be solved.
