Highland and Alpine hope to study transportation gridlock February 16, 2018, 12:20 pmAlthough Alpine is in and will continue to be in growth mode for several years, the community is basically landlocked. Most of Alpine's traffic has to travel on Highland surface streets to access the Alpine Highway, I-15, Lehi or the communities south of the city. The idea for the study came about when Highland's City Engineer Todd Trane sat down with Alpine City Manager Shane Sorenson and City Engineer Jed Muhlestein to discuss the issue. All of our main streets — 4800 West, 6000 West and 11800 North — are all tied into Alpine arterial roads," Trane told his city council. "We need to find out what the future impact of Alpine's growth will be on Highland's roads." Trane said both cities will co-sponsor the study, but Alpine officials are taking the lead in submitting the paperwork. "Of all of those connections, we need to find out which one is going to be impacted most in the next 10 to 20 years of development," Trane said. If the grant is approved, the funds would likely be made in 2020-21 for the study.
