Civil Science

Civil Science has been supporting Salt Lake City with railroad crossing upgrades at Orange Street, Navajo Street, and 1000 West as part of the effort to develop a new Quiet Zone, while maintaining compliance with an existing one.
This work has involved close coordination with Salt Lake City, Union Pacific Railroad, Patriot Rail, and the Federal Railroad Administration to evaluate improvements, support safety requirements, and help reduce train horn impacts for nearby neighborhoods.
The team also provided input related to the recommended closure of 200 South, which was recently approved by the Salt Lake City Council as a key step toward addressing the remaining train horn issue on the city’s west side.
A big shoutout to our Salt Lake City project team, UDOT Rail Division support, and our important rail company partners.

Salt Lake City passes road closure that could solve last remaining train horn issue A small, indefinite road closure in Salt Lake City could help fix a complaint that west side residents have had for years.

A big milestone for St. George 👏

City Hall Plaza is officially complete the final piece of the downtown campus following the new City Hall opening earlier this year.

From the pavilion and gathering spaces to the Japanese garden and the iconic “I ❤️ STG” sign every detail was built for connection and community.

Grateful to partner with the City of St. George and Big-D Construction on a space that will serve this community for years to come.
