The City would love to make changes to State Street, from removing traffic lanes, widening sidewalks, adding treets, and so forth.
The problem is that it is owned by UDoT and they aren't to keen on losing traffic lanes on their streets. 4th South is the biggest example of the requirement for keeping the traffic lanes in place, even with Trax running down the center.
This has also been a sticking point with 3rd West from 6th South to Beck Street. SLC would love to shrink it down and make it more pedestrian oriented, especially with all the new development but UDoT doesn't want that to happen.
This is why SLC focused more on development along 4th West as it has more control. 4th West is also the current planned location of the South Davis to SLC BRT corridor.
