University Pkwy needs to be freeway w/ no stops from I-15:BYU. Raised overpasses & exits like Bangerter now is.

Of course, it would be an even worse mess than it is now until we got there.

I hate everything about Provo/Orem city planning.

Utah county is a train wreck right now

When it comes to construction, it's always a trainwreck.

Yep. Avoid the mouth of the canyon at all costs. It is a mess right now. On

It was hell on earth after stadium of fire

And all the construction isn't even going to fix any traffic.

No need. We now have rapid transit via UTA to go with no more left turns ever on University Ave.

Probable Sacko

8/19/19 5:44pm

The bus might actually be a good idea.

BYUtka

Bus service ends at the same time the game does... Big problem, and given that

Don’t they have bus services from University Mall to the game? Gotta take every

Previous late games it has always been extended. Especially with many fans

Nope. All of this is sewer/water/curb stuff. Won't improve traffic flow.

Craziest intersection I've seen, University and Sandhill Rd.

Yep some of the most ridiculous intersections are there and

The city is way ahead of schedule. Try living in Seattle or LA or NY.

People need to understand that road construction is actually a good thing.

I always hear people complain of traffic in Utah and then I go there

This. My extended family complains but when I visit...

Likewise in Clt

And Oregon. It took 25 years to add a 3rd lane to hwy 26...

bluefish

And still only 2 lanes on 217. Bumper to bumper traffic

I was thinking the same thing today. But it’s all of Utah county

The best was expanding the freeway evewhere in Utah county except for the 5 mile

4 marriages, but married 14 years. I'm kidding. Don't be mad.

Maybe it's a ploy to have yewts forfeit for showing up late to game.

I wish they put a tenth of the effort into building out bike infrastructure

I was with you until the "city planning" part.

Pretty sure Univ Ave and Univ Pkwy are state roads

too many people plus UVU emergence

No foresight, just reactionary planning thats 10 yrs behind

pegushin

8/19/19 9:53pm

Yep. Reactive 100%. How bout plan and build for the future for once?

they are too "conservative" and anti taxation. the hard conservative bloc in UT

Only in some ways. Provo also elected John Curtis as their mayor. Curtis

Curtis was a bit more progressive and I think Provo benefited because of it. The

There aren't enough people biking to improve driving. And the ones that do bike

Actually it's not true at all! Provo would explode if it had the biking

Transit is key, but biking greatly helps in UT. A few responses and data points

runnincoug

Some people will use it, but not enough to ease car traffic. Every major city in

Throwaway59840

That's simply not true. The data clearly shows that biking eases traffic.

runnincoug

My point is that a 30% reduction in "way too long" is still "way too long." You

Throwaway59840

It's still probably the most effective use of money for traffic reduction.

Man! Lots of PEs on CB! First, it's not planning but Public Works.
