3300 West & SR-194- Lehi, Utah

UDOT has worked with local communities to plan ahead and manage the area’s rapid growth. 3300 West is designated a major collector roadway in Lehi City’s Master Transportation Plan and connects to SR-194 (2100 North). FOCUS was tasked with designing this connection onto SR-194 from the Timp Point subdivision and securing a UDOT access permit. They began by meeting with UDOT and Lehi City to coordinate the improvements to the intersection and added a separate eastbound right turn deceleration lane. Along with the widening of SR-194, FOCUS designed and coordinated additional right of way (ROW) to accommodate the widening and reestablish UDOT’s ROW. The team worked closely with Edge Homes, Lehi City, and UDOT to make sure ROW documents referenced the correct names of property owners when ownership of some properties changed during the middle of the project. Because the Timp Point subdivision is located adjacent to a large parcel not owned by the developer, FOCUS could only design half the improvements while still accounting for future construction of the other half of the road and access. This required coordination with the adjacent property owner to ensure they understood that when the property does get developed, they would be responsible for meeting UDOT requirements to widen SR-194.

SR-87 and County Road Concept Plan

Utah State Route 87 (SR-87) spans 37 miles and connects communities in Duchesne County. A county road intersecting SR-87 at Mile Post 7.6 services a landfill and oil refinery. Large trucks regularly turning off SR-87 onto the county road were constrained by an existing power pole on the intersection corner, forcing the trucks to make a very wide turn and drive into the oncoming traffic lane.

Wood Hollow Estates- West Valley City, Utah

The project site’s steep slope and location adjacent to U-111 posed some unique challenges. FOCUS worked closely with the developer to provide precise grading and specific lot drainage to meet its requirements and desired functionality for the various home plans. This included the design of several retaining walls, which required substantial coordination with UDOT due to their proximity to U-111. With no outfall location for storm water, FOCUS designed the site to retain all storm water. Water pressure on the site was extremely low, so finished grades were designed to meet state’s water pressure requirements. This required the top of a hill to be cut down to achieve the minimum water pressure. FOCUS also worked closely with UDOT on improvements to the intersection at 6200 South and U-111, including modifications to the signal system and nearly 2000 feet of new acceleration and deceleration lanes to safely manage traffic going in and out of the development.

Rail Trail Pedestrian Crossing- Park City, Utah

The historic Rail Trail is an old Union Pacific railroad track that dates back to the 1880s. The 28-mile trail runs from Park City to Echo Reservoir and is used year-round by bikers, hikers, horseback riders, cross-country skiers, and fishers.

Holbrook Estates Roundabouts- Lehi, Utah

As part of the master-planned community Holbrook Estates, FOCUS worked closely with Lehi City and the project owners to design three roundabouts along 3600 West.

SR-180 Turn Lanes- American Fork, Utah

FOCUS worked closely with both UDOT and American Fork City to design a separate right turn lane and left turn lane into a major commercial development along 500 East (SR-180) in American Fork.

Holbrook SR-191 UDOT Accesses- Lehi, Utah

As part of the overall Transportation Master Plan for the Holbrook Development in the heart of Lehi, FOCUS worked closely with Lehi City on the design and construction of multiple streets that navigate the community and connected with SR-191 (2100 North).

Anderson Blvd Intersection Improvements- Lindon, Utah

As part of the Transportation Master Plan for Lindon City, FOCUS worked with UDOT and the City of Lindon to widen SR-129 and design Anderson Boulevard. Improvements along SR-129 included a separate eastbound right turn lane and westbound left turn lane.
