Sandy city officials are trying out a new traffic flow method in the hopes of cutting down the congestion around Little Cottonwood Canyon when it closes — which could happen this week if projected snow totals come to fruition.
Drivers will be able to line up along northbound lanes of Wasatch Boulevard during closures so they can be the first ones into Little Cottonwood Canyon.| Feb. 21, 2023, 8:52 p.m.
Sgt. Greg Moffitt, a spokesperson for the Sandy Police Department, said though the line could stretch for miles, the city believes the new method will help organize a single line of traffic for powder hounds looking to head into the canyon, while keeping the rest of the nearby roads flowing for other people.
With the new system, Moffitt said those drivers who wait in line would be the first ones allowed into Little Cottonwood Canyon when reopened.
