Claudia Johnson spoke about the East Liberty Community Council' s support to have signal lights installed on 900 and 1300 South, 600 East. She said the lights were installed but now everyone had to turn right and go around the block (waste time, gas, and create more air pollution) in order to turn left.

Brooke Karrington said Foothill was already congested and increasing density there was a bad idea. She said areas around State Street, West Temple, and 500 to 1300 South were ideal for building tall structures to address affordable housing/density.
