Road Construction through May - Jordan River to 700 E

We teamed up with Salt Lake City, Millcreek and City of Holladay teamed up on Local Link to improve connectivity between our cities through walking, biking and transit solutions. We worked together to develop transportation priorities to guide the effort and influence its outcomes.

The ongoing transit study is being done to address population and traffic projections for 2050, since knowing we won’t be able to rely on cars alone to keep people moving between Sugar House, Millcreek and Holladay in the future.

The study team has gathered data and analyzed four types of transit: streetcar, light rail, Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) and enhanced bus along two main routes: 1300 East and Highland Drive. Now, we need your help to understand which option best meets the needs of our communities in the future.

Local Link is the final planning effort before significant investments are made! Visit locallinkstudy.com today to take the survey and make sure your voice is heard. The survey will close April 22, 2021!

Additional broadband internet expanding to the “city on the move”.

The City of South Salt Lake has entered into an agreement to bring Google Fiber’s fiber network to the City. Mayor Cherie Wood made the announcement to the City Council during their February 24, 2021, Regular Meeting. The agreement allows Google Fiber to begin building its fiber-to-the-home network in South Salt Lake. Residents and businesses are expected to be able to begin signing up for internet service by this summer.

“Digital equity and inclusion are imperative for resident success. Working with Google Fiber creates new options for broadband access and connectivity in our community,“ said Mayor Wood. “Google Fiber’s expansion into South Salt Lake will assist us in addressing the digital divide.” 

South Salt Lake is a city that values diversity, fosters a sense of belonging, and prioritizes resident success. The City’s Promise SSL initiative provides out-of-school programming with an academic and prevention focus. Some SSL youth and families have insufficient access to the internet that hinders opportunities and their ability to prosper. Google Fiber seeks to provide access and connectivity citywide.

“South Salt Lake and Mayor Wood recognize the opportunity that access to fast, reliable internet can make in a community,” said Jacob Brace, Google Fiber Government and Community Affairs Manager, Utah. “Google Fiber is excited to be part of South Salt Lake’s goals of being a connected and innovative city.” 

“It is often said that we are a small city with big opportunities, I am thrilled about our work with Google Fiber and the many opportunities it will afford residents and businesses,” said Mayor Wood. 

SSL will continue the legacy as a “city on the move” through the Google Fiber agreement that will provide residents and businesses alike with reliable, fast broadband internet.
