You really do need a car in Salt Lake. It's true, we have a decent bus system and a light rail line... but this is still a commuters town. Consider...
Salt Lake is set up on a very formal grid system (originally designed by pioneers), this grid system extends deep into the suburbs. Plus... our streets very wide and our blocks are nearly twice the size of those in most cities and we have very few one-way streets.
What does all of this mean? Salt Lake is very spread-out... there really aren't any densely populated areas (even downtown) where you'll find everything you need within 2 city blocks... it's a bummer if you don't drive or you like the metropolitan feel that you get in places like New York, Boston, or Chicago.... but it's a plus because we have beautiful wide open spaces with expansive views... and our traffic problems really aren't bad when compared with many other cities.
