Based on previous public input, the City Council determined high density housing should locate near current and future transit stations. Developments near transit provide alternative transportation options for residents such as walking, biking, or taking transit. High density housing combined with commercial uses create opportunities for people to live, work, and play within a single development.

The areas designated as Transit Oriented Developments (TODs) include the existing Frontrunner Station and proposed stops for a future bus rapid transit (BRT) line. These are the areas City Council is considering for high density housing.

City Council wants your input as they make decisions that will impact the future growth of these areas. They want to know what density you think is good and also how you want these areas to look and feel.

There are three different opportunities below to visualize and discuss what these developments should be like.

  1. How to Develop provides some generic feedback through a survey. It includes pictures of existing developments near transit in Utah and asks other density and design questions.
  2. Great Places invites you to upload any pictures of high-density places you enjoy. This can help illustrate the optimal density for walking and essential design features from your own experiences. You will also be able to like and comment on other people’s images.
  3. Ask a Question allows you to contact the Planning Department with any questions regarding developments near transit.

Additional information regarding developments near transit and examples from around the Country can be found on the right. Please use these as resources.

  • Share Please don’t add high density housing in Or near Thanksgiving Point. At 5:00 pm you can’t go south on Triumph Blvd (2300) West and building occupancy in the park is still low. Adding more cars will just add to the gridlock. on Facebook Share Please don’t add high density housing in Or near Thanksgiving Point.

    Thank you for your concern. We have been analyzing the traffic and it will be part of the consideration of any density around Thanksgiving Point.

    Water capacity is definitely an important factor to consider. Before any development is approved our engineering and public works departments review it to make sure there is adequate capacity.  As these developments near transit come in infrastructure (like water tanks and irrigation storage) will be required to be put in place or improved to meet the demands. Thank you for your concern, it is valid and definitely a resource that is becoming more constrained as we continue to develop. 

  • Share I hope you consider the fact that adding more transit means adding more crime. So, make sure you are accounting for that in your budget for the area. The crime near the TG PT station has increased significantly. on Facebook Share I hope you consider the fact that adding more transit means adding more crime.

    City Council has specifically been considering the impact of development near transit on crime. Can you provide examples of the increase of crime (newspaper articles, police data, etc.)? The City Council can use that data to help inform their decision.
