Overview
- UDOT estimates 110,000 to 120,000 people are in town for RedWest with Post Malone, a University of Utah home game, and a Benson Boone concert.
- UTA expanded TRAX Green Line service near the State Fairpark as UDOT retimed signals and recommended 600 South and 600 North because 400 South is constrained by construction.
- Salt Lake City Police staffed each venue, and RedWest implemented elevated screening with metal detectors and clear-bag rules.
- Rain in the forecast raised concerns about slick roads and slower travel, and officials advised giving extra time and using public transit.
- Streets around the Fairpark saw spillover parking, while Visit Salt Lake underscored last year’s more than $6 billion in direct visitor spending supporting about 56,000 jobs.
