Airports are inherently not mobility friendly - see DOH, HKG or any other top airport. It's the nature of the industry.

Fortunately, there are options such as carts to assist.

dunno about that being so triggering...seems brilliant. Plenty people do this in other airports to avoid long walks. Shrug.

This is the great conundrum of airport design. The public wants a large choice of nonstop flights to every destination under the sun but they want it from a building small enough where they don't have to fight a crowd or walk more than 100 yards. Problem is that all three things can't be done.

Perhaps those with mobility problems can use services like thunderdeacon mentioned in this post.

If you have concerns, you can also contact SLC's Airport ADA Coordinator. Their website provides multiple ways to contact that person:

Having family in the SLC area, I fly in a few times a year for short visits. I agree the new airport sucks! I usually travel with just a small backpack, I can't imagine doing it with full size cabin bags. Just as bad, the signage for the passenger pickup area is horribly confusing. I believe the sign says "Ground Transportation" but you actually have to walk past that escalator to the next roadway for passenger pickup. If you go down the first one (which you inevitably will your first time there) you can't even walk across the street because there's barricades with no opening. So back inside, upstairs, across the road, back downstairs.
