After cars killed three men near the new homeless resource center in South Salt Lake in the two months since it opened, highway officials said Monday they have begun to install safety improvements.
Over the weekend, the Utah Department of Transportation installed new electronic message signs to urge drivers to be cautious and alert for pedestrians along 3300 South near 1000 West.
After news stories about the problems, UDOT and South Salt Lake also announced plans Monday for numerous other improvements coming over the next several months including:
“I am extremely satisfied with UDOT’s response,” said South Salt Lake City Council member Corey Thomas, who pushed for the improvements.
