Payson Downtown Gateway Plan

MAG is soliciting the services of invited consultants to perform consulting services for the following TAG project: 

Payson Gateway Plan

The Payson Downtown Gateway Plan will ensure that major upcoming investments, including the I-15/Main Street interchange realignment, UVU Payson Campus, Mountain Technical College Payson Campus, Nebo Beltway, Bamberger Ranch, and the Payson FrontRunner Station, blend well within the existing urban fabric and support the community’s overall vision for the future. Key objectives to be considered and addressed within the plan include:

• Mitigating I-15 as a physical and physiological east-west barrier dividing a growing community, separating residents from transit and educational services, and discouraging active transportation travel.

• Improving the utilization of land within the project area, with an emphasis on context-appropriate development.

• Maintaining/enhancing Payson’s small-town identity by carefully integrating new with existing development patterns and transportation networks.

• Improving the ‘gateway’ experience for residents and visitors, with an emphasis on human-scale design and destination-based uses, services, and experiences.

MAG will serve as contractor and administrator. Payson City will serve as day-to-day project manager.
