WHEREAS, on Wednesday, October 13, 1976, at 7:30 p.m., the
Utah Transportation Commission is conducting a hearing to consider
the elimination of a mid-block crosswalk on State Street between
South Temple and First South Streets; and
WHEREAS, the Board of City Commissioners is opposed to the
elimination of such crosswalk and crosswalk marking due to the large
amount of pedestrian activity in that area; and
WHEREAS, the elimination of a crosswalk marking in the area
in question would, due to the amount of pedestrian and vehicular
traffic in the area, the design of the sidewalk and roadway in
question and the nature of the district involved, in the opinion
of the Board of City Commissioners, create a danger to the inhabi-
tants of Salt Lake City;
NOW, THEREFORE, THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS OF SALT LAKE CITY
does hereby express its disapproval of the proposed elimination of
a crosswalk and crosswalk marking at the above specified location
and requests the Utah Transportation Commission to deny any request
which would result in the elimination of such pedestrian protection
device.
Passed by the Board of Commissioners of Salt Lake City, Utah,
this 12th day of October, 1976. f
