RESOLUTION
Result .
WHEREAS, the United States Post Office Department has announced its
intention to locate a new branch post office facility at 2240 Sunnyside
Avenue, Salt Lake City, Utah; and
WHEREAS, the new proposed location would tend to increase the volume
of traffic through the intersection of Sunnyside Avenue, and 21st East
Street, which intersection is already a dangerous intersection; and
WHEREAS, the new proposed location is adjacent to a residential
section and no businesses are located in the immediate vicinity thereof;
and
WHEREAS, the construction of the new post office facility would tend
to have an adverse effect upon the property value in the residential area
to the detriment of the City and the property owners owning property near
said site; and
WHEREAS, the new proposed location does not appear to be centrally
located for the convenience of mail users in the general vicinity of
said proposed site location but said site appears to have been chosen
primarily for its free land (on Fort Douglas property) ; and
WHEREAS, it appears there are other and more suitable locations
available for the proposed facility which would better serve the public
convenience which have not received the consideration of the post office
department as more fully appears hereinafter.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS OF SALT
LAKE CITY, as follows:
1. That the United States Post Office Department reconsider
its decision to locate its new proposed facility at 2240
Sunnyside Avenue, Salt Lake City, Utah.
2. That the Post Office Department consider the location of
its proposed facility in the following alternative locations:
(a) A location on Federal Government land fronting on
Guardsman Way, a new north-south thoroughfare at
approximately 1580 East, which connects with 5th
south on the north and Sunnyside Avenue on the
south. This alternative site would be near the
University of Utah and the Veterans Administration
Hospital. The traffic hazard would be minimized
at this proposed location and is considered to be
the best of the alternative proposals.
(b) A location on Federal Government land near the
built-up area of the remaining Fort Douglas
Military Reservation. This would be near the
University of Utah and the Veterans Administration
Hospital.
1
-2-
(c) A location on private land in the new East-
land Hills Shopping Center at 21st South and
Foothill Blvd. This would better serve the
users of the shopping center but would be re-
moved from the University and the Hospital.
3. That the interests of the United States Post Office
Department, the City of Salt Lake and the residents
thereof would be better served if the location of the
postal facility as now determined be abandoned and an
alternative site be chosen in accordance with the fore-
going.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the City Recorder be and he is hereby
authorized and directed to forward copies of this Resolution to the
United States Postmaster, the Salt Lake City Postmaster, the Honorable
Senator Wallace F. Bennett; the Honorable Frank E. Moss; Congressman
Lawrence J. Burton; and Congressman Sherman P. Lloyd.
