Why did the Mormon settlers lay their streets in a grid at The Salt Lake Valley?

Joseph Smith had made a city plan for the city of Zion, which was never built. This plan was a grid pattern with religious and cultural centers at the center of each neighborhood, and allowing each family to have a large backyard in order to raise their own food. When the Mormon pioneers moved to Salt Lake City, they adapted this plan a little (such as making the streets incredibly wide), and then implemented it. Many other pioneer cities in the west follow a similar grid pattern. It is easy to find your way around and give directions, so the grid pattern continues to be followed today.
