“Vision Main Street” is a Kaysville City initiative to enhance Main Street, making it more appealing to both businesses and residents. In coordination with a UDOT project, the city planned to implement changes by late fall 2024 to increase parking in downtown Kaysville.
In September, residents may have noticed that Center Street was closed to all traffic and pedestrians between Main Street and 100 East. That closure was necessary to facilitate Kaysville City’s conversion of Center Street to a one-way street.
The section of Center Street (just south of City Hall and the Central Davis Senior Center, and north of Zions Bank) is now a one-way eastbound street from Main Street to 100 East. The conversion includes 17 angled and 16 parallel parking stalls. “The change for additional parking was requested by stakeholders in hopes of supporting our business community,” Mayor Tamara Tran said.
The proposed changes to 100 North were based on input from meetings held in 2021 and 2022 with Main Street businesses, who requested that the city explore ways to create additional on-street parking in the downtown area.
The city initially planned to convert 100 North into a one-way westbound street from Main Street to 100 West, adding angled and parallel parking. However, after receiving feedback from residents, the city has been working with its traffic engineering consultant to find a solution that effectively balances the interests of all stakeholders.
As resident feedback is being reviewed, construction on 100 North has been placed on hold, and no traffic changes will be made as part of the current UDOT project. However, UDOT will still proceed with work to improve sidewalk ADA curb ramps throughout the Main Street project, including at the intersection of 100 North and Main Street.
For now, please pay attention to the new traffic pattern and follow the signs to ensure everyone’s safety. The city will provide further updates as the process continues.
