West Temple Gateway Project Area
Project Area Overview
In 1987, the
RDA
created the West Temple Gateway (WTG) Project Area, located within the
boundaries of Main Street and 300 West, and 600 South and Fayette
Avenue (990 South). The purpose of this project area is to encourage
the development of service industries, support the Central
Business District, and provide an attractive urban residential
environment.
The
RDA's
contributions to this area include the 900
South TRAX Station, Jefferson and Washington Street
Beautification projects, and the repaving of eight alleyways.
The 900 South TRAX Station is the only light rail stop to be
built in a neighborhood and upon its opening, increased access for the residents
and local businesses.

tax reimbursement programs we offer, visit our

West
Temple Gateway and Granary District Redevelopment Strategy
In
2010, the RDA hired the National Development Council (NDC)
to create a Redevelopment Strategy for the
West
Temple Gateway (WTG) and Granary District
(GD) RDA Project Areas. On June 7, 2011, the RDA Board of
Directors approved the Redevelopment Strategy which is now
available to the public (below). The documents contain a variety
of graphic renderings and may take some time to download. Please
email
ashlie.taylor@slcgov.com if you have questions regarding
these documents or accessing them.
The
economic analysis, key recommendations, and Design Guidelines
apply to the entire neighborhood covered by both Project Areas.
Four of the five conceptual site designs and analysis were
provided to assist with redevelopment of RDA-owned property in
the West Temple
Gateway Project Area (map). In addition, analysis and
conceptual site designs were also included for the City-owned
"Fleet Block" in the
Granary District Project Area (map). See
Property Approach, pg 26-35.
The Strategy consists of
four documents:
Executive Summary (PDF)
- A summary of the Strategy recommendations and findings.
Redevelopment
Guide (PDF) - Market analysis, sample cities, & key Strategy
Recommendations (last several pages).

and design.
