With more than $150 million appropriated by the Utah State Legislature for both Big and Little Cottonwood Canyon to solve the problem, we call on UDOT to implement less impactful solutions like tolling, transit, and traction laws now.

Key Points: 
  • With more than $150 million appropriated by the Utah State Legislature for both Big and Little Cottonwood Canyon to solve the problem, we call on UDOT to implement less impactful solutions like tolling, transit, and traction laws now.
  • We do not understand how implementing improvements whose funding is separate and distinct from the Little Cottonwood Canyon Gondola project could possibly be delayed by any of the Gondola lawsuits."
  • Restoring ski bus routes and the number of ski buses in Big and Little Cottonwood Canyons to 1996 levels is a wise move.
  • Similarly, we encourage UDOT to study, and implement enhanced traction restrictions, variable tolling rates and merge metering to alleviate traffic congestion."
