ACTION ALERT: In the face of backlash to the city’s proposed traffic calming on roads where a driver recently hit and killed a student walking home from school, we’re asking safe streets advocates to contact their City Council representative to demand action for safer streets. 1/

2100 South between 700 East and 1300 East presents an opportunity to create a second downtown for SLC, with a second main street that provides a vibrant, walkable atmosphere. Unfortunately, the city’s hybrid design squanders that opportunity. sltrib.com/news/2023/05/0…

Utah should similarly upzone cities to protect open lands. The difficulty to build in #slc drives sprawl

TFW @SpencerJCox is taking the right stand on housing and @slcCouncil is playing catch-up. Current SLC zoning gates off most our city from multi-family housing and desperately needs to change.

In the #slc fight for abundant housing, the road often goes through the @slcCouncil. Next week they'll vote if ADUs must be owner-occupied. This should be loosened, so that any resident in SLC can live in any ADU. Speak up! [email protected] [email protected]

Walking around I've been noticing new lead pedestrian intervals (LPI) at different intersections. Good work @slcmoves @stretchtraffic @slcmayor . Let's keep it up. #slc

Good news coming out of the #utleg. Congrats to @Sen_Stevenson. Automated speed enforcement will play a critical role in keeping people safe on the streets of Utah. @repastoddard let's make it happen in the house.

It’s truly mind blowing that we need to keep repeating this More housing = lower housing costs for everyone

A great day with good people. The @SweetStreetsSLC board did our annual planning mtg on Saturday. (Thank you @workhiveSLC for hosting us!) We're focused and ready to work more with our supporters. Expect to hear from us more and see more opportunities to get involved! 💪

In the long run, the work to stop traffic violence in SLC will require some form of automated traffic enforcement (aka photo cop). We are energized by @Sen_Stevenson and encourage the Utah Senate to vote yes on SB105, which trials photo cop in school and construction zones.

If you’re a liberal who won’t buy a Tesla because you think @elonmusk is a conservative now, that’s okay. Why don’t you get one of these:

Tired of speeding motorists? Sen. Jerry Stevenson has proposed a bill that would allow law enforcement to use photo radar to enforce speed limits in some instances. SB105 will be heard in committee at 4 pm TODAY. Go support the bill if you can. #utpol le.utah.gov/committee/comm…

Considering the #slc inversion, it’s a good time to get practical - When buying a car, get an EV - When your furnace dies, buy a heat pump - When your water heater breaks, get a HPWH And yes, #utleg, regulate US Magnesium!

More good news for clean power transmission across the US West, from WY wind. Part of why electrifying everything is great - the grid will just get cleaner

Toyota and Honda are still broadly viewed as innovative, but that impressive hybrid engine was released _26_ years ago. Neither of them has an EV offering. Surprisingly, Ford, VW, and Hyundai are actually competing with Tesla in creating cars of the future.

It’s a simplistic philosophy, an unfortunate fad in Utah politics. My family cannot use surplus to save the Great Salt Lake. It cannot build mass transit, fight wildfire, clean the air, educate the populace, staff the courts, or provide mental health crisis services.

UDOT cites “human error” as the contributing factor in 94% of crashes. But @SweetStreetsSLC’s co-founder says roadway designs are more responsible for the dangerous conditions. buff.ly/3Xj00Mv
