Logan 200 East Frequently Asked Questions

Will 200 East become a four-lane highway?
Under this project, capacity widening is currently not an option. It should be noted, however, that the CMPO has identified 200 East as a potential north-south arterial roadway. Therefore, there is a potential for increasing capacity in the future.

Are there more creative solutions to our traffic problems?
The City of Logan is investing time and money into investigating multi-modal planning options. Multi-use trails, transit options, and improved roadways are all part of the total solution for the 200 East corridor.

What are mobility options other than widening 200 East?
There are and will continue to be transportation components on 200 East including transit, cyclists, pedestrians, and parallel corridors for people to travel.

Will there be impacts to my parking?
Potentially. Part of the process will be to evaluate the trade-off between street parking and other roadway elements such as pedestrian facilities and bike lanes.

If action is taken that has property impacts, what process will be followed with those property owners?
Since the Logan 200 East project is federally funded, the Utah Department of Transportation will oversee the right-of-way process. Right-of-way must be acquired according to the Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970. This process includes as appraisal by a neutral third party expert to establish the “fair market value” of the property. Right-of-way negotiations will be based on the constitutional principal of “just compensation”.

How is safety being addressed along the corridor?
Safety is a critical component of any transportation project. Historical data, public and agency input, and engineered measures will all be considered as safety options are designed and implemented.

What can be done for student safety traveling to and from Mount Logan Middle School?
This study will evaluate the current routes and how students are crossing and will need to consider facilities to improve the safety and functions of existing and proposed crossings.

How can traffic be increased with three schools located near 200 East?
Travel demand is still increasing on 200 East. The project must address safety concerns relative to the schools as traffic is predicted to increase.

Are one-way streets an option?
Yes, Logan City is currently evaluating one-way streets as part of the City’s Long Range Transportation Plan.
