About This Project

Regent Street is located in a historic portion of Salt Lake City and has been transformed from a downtrodden streetscape to a vibrant one. Furthermore, it is a pedestrian friendly corridor, which acts as a gathering space, while still maintaining roadway functionality. Regent illustrates how government, private, and design interests meshed to become one of the more utilized spaces in the City.

Our Work

Ensign Engineering and Land Surveying provided survey, site civil design, and structural services. Three critical success factors for this project were stormwater mitigation, utility replacement, and providing a pedestrian preferred street. Ensign engineered cast in place trench drains to provide stormwater drainage and an “at grade” solution which allowed for accessible access from road to sidewalk. Utility retrofits were a challenge due to the incredible number of existing utilities. We worked closely with Salt Lake City Public Utilities, private utility owners, and the design team to create several options before developing a design to meet everyone’s needs. To provide pedestrian friendly functionality while tying into existing (and proposed) building doorways, we developed detailed grading plans and provided on-going construction support throughout the grading process.
