Busy week…
Wednesday through Friday of this week are going to be very busy and hectic. It starts with Elected Officials Day at the legislature on Wednesday, followed by City Council meeting that night. Thurday and Friday will the Strategic Plan session with the council and staff at city hall.
With the economy being what it is, there will be some difficult decisions to make as to what will be funded in the near future. One item that has been brought to me by a number of constituents has to do with the Trax crossing at 4000 W and Old Bingham Highway. Since it was modified by adding another set of tracks, UTA has changed an existing bus route so it no longer services riders who accessed it on 4000 W.
I’ve recieved several requests from constituents to look at finding a solution to the problem. Many of them rely on the bus to get to work. Since there will be no Trax station at 4000 W it is a long walk to get to bus service.
I have several ideas that could help, but don’t know that it will happen until we have more money to deal with the situation. If you have any ideas, please pass them on. The same goes for anything you would like discussed during the SP session.
