The Council continued the hearing at Council Member Wharton's request to allow another briefing and more review time. Of twelve speakers, most supported the plan while asking for more: bolder moves, the Rio Grande Plan to remove the rail barrier on the west side, rail crossing solutions, safety implementation, free transit fares, advance posting and neighbor outreach, a people-over-cars focus and more enforcement; one asked that the hearing stay open. Council Member Puy said he wanted to fund free fares but the Council lacked the authority.

Connect SLC citywide transportation plan
Discussed
Transportation staff presented the 2023 plan to replace the 1996 Transportation Master Plan, a 20-year, values-based vision rather than a project list. A nine-member paid Community Advisory Council guided two engagement phases built on values of equity, health and safety, reliable options, affordability and sustainability. The eight key moves are authentic engagement, zero traffic deaths (a Vision Zero plan), active mobility networks, transit-friendly neighborhoods, healing the east-west divide, low-emissions mobility, places for people, and operationalizing complete streets.
