11000 South and 1000 East intersection (roundabout study)

Safety project for the intersection near Alta High School after a fatal pedestrian crash in Jan. 2026. A consultant study compared an all-way stop, signal and roundabout and found a roundabout would have a net 20-year safety benefit of $6.7 million over a signal. The city has a Wasatch Front Regional Council grant, with about a year each for design and installation.

    11000 South and 1000 East intersection study

    Discussed

    Hooper presented a consultant's traffic and safety study of the intersection by Alta High School, covering six years of crash history, the Safe System Approach, signal warrants and a comparison of all-way stop, signal and roundabout options. The 20-year net safety benefit of a roundabout over a signal was a net savings of $6.7 million. Council members and the mayor's intersection committee toured roundabouts in Draper, Sandy and Cottonwood Heights. Ryan Kump said the city received a Wasatch Front Regional Council grant for the project, with about a year for design and a year for installation. Dave Egelund now supports the roundabout; Craig Ulrich asked for a mock-up and said the city may need additional land.
