ST. GEORGE — The way people drive on 700 East may change by the time school is back in session, according to city officials.
At least two four-way stops and possibly a dedicated bicycle path are being planned for 700 East in the near future. Additional speed and traffic-calming measures also are being considered for other intersections along the way.
Specifically, plans to install four-way stops at Tabernacle Street and 600 East are in the works, with the potential creation of a bike lane on the east side of 700 East from 100 South to 600 South that may eliminate roadside parking in the area.
These and other options were discussed during a St. George City Council work meeting held July 13. The discussion was spurred by a "pedestrian study" conducted on 1000 East and 700 East — two of the streets that encompass the majority of the Utah Tech University campus.
