Salt Lake City officials highlighted the completed $3 million Gladiola Street reconstruction project on Thursday, days before voters were set to weigh in on the $87 million road bond on their ballot.
Construction began on the complete rebuild of the roadway between 500 South and 900 South back in June. The finished product includes wider lanes, and the addition of bike lanes and sidewalk enhancements, like new ramps. To celebrate its completion, Mayor Jackie Biskupski and Councilman Andrew Johnston joined project team members in planting a ceremonial tree along the corridor, with an additional 40 trees expected to be planted in the coming months.
