Additional City Council Announcements

September 16, 2008

 

A.    Information Needed by Council Staff

1.    Upcoming public-input events that Council Member Garrott would like to ask the Council to consider co-sponsoring:

Pioneer Park Salt Lake Solutions final event: A revisiting of the Pioneer Park Plan. Review Phases 2 and 3 of the plan given what we now know about the park.  Rick Graham is amenable, and the SLS group thought this would be a good way to wrap up their process. I told them I would approach the Council about offering space (COW) and staff for a 1-day event.

Question: Can Council Member Garrott proceed with staff resources to plan and participate in this event? Yes.

2.    Council Member Garrott is also working with the Transportation Division regarding a proposal for a Bike Summit:

This would be a public-input event, where a focus-group would work to devise recommendations for ordinance changes, infrastructure improvements, and policy resolutions for enforcement.  This would happen in the late winter, so that next summer we can have a renewed social contract for bikes on our streets. 

Question: Is there support of the Council to hold such an event? Yes.  Councilmember Christensen suggested utilizing the Transportation Advisory Board to ensure everyone had the same understanding and was working toward a common goal.  Councilmember Simonsen suggested including a wide variety of other organizations/boards/commissions/stake holders such as the Mayors Bicycle Advisory Board, Business Advisory Board, Planning Commission, youth groups.  Councilmember Jergensen said it would be helpful to include the Bicycle Master Plan document previously adopted by the Council.
