COMMENTS TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Jeffrey Tuft said on Saturday Draper City would be opening a new road adjoining
Draper with Alpine in Utah County. He said this road was not good for Draper. He
said he hoped Salt Lake City could learn from Draper's mistake. He said Salt Lake
City had stricter regulations and that was important to the identity of a City.
Alex Booth thanked the Council for making the crosswalks safer over the past few
years by adding orange flags and countdown timers. He requested a crosswalk timer for
500 South at Guardsman Way for pedestrian safety.
Valerie Lane said she was driving south on I-15 at approximately 4:00 p.m. on
Friday. She said it took her over an hour and a half to go 40 miles. She said as a
major interstate highway, the freeway should be used as a connection between two
cities. She said the City continued to widen freeways and more cars were using them.
She said people who used freeways to commute to work should be required to pay a toll.

Ben Smith said his issues were with the revitalization of downtown. He said the
blocks immediately surrounding the Grand America and Little America needed to be
studied. He said they were deserted and used for parking lots. He said they were not
suited for the area. He said if the blocks were rezoned for mandatory mixed use of
commercial and residential more people could be brought to the downtown area.
Scott Bingham said he was a student at the University of Utah and lived in Provo,
Utah. He said he tried to be creative in his commute to the university. He said one
of the most convenient ways to commute was TRAX. He said one negative thing about
TRAX was graffiti. He said he wanted to see more pro-action on graffiti and requested
information on the City's graffiti policies.
Ali Khefeeifi did not wish to speak but submitted a card in support of creating
mixed use zoning in the downtown area.
