Utah has a draft plan to address homelessness. Comments are due today, Jan. 8. We think that the plan misses a huge part of the issue. See the @sltrib story for more. 1/ sltrib.com/news/politics/… @sltrib One of the main causes of homelessness is lack of money to pay rent. Yet this is not mentioned in the plan nor is it mentioned typically in public discussions. Some steps to increase income to prevent homelessness: 1. Increase affordable transportation. cyclingutah.com/columns/editor…

2100 S in Sugar House is a street reconstruction. It is thus a Complete Streets Ordinance mandate that @slcmoves @stretchtraffic add bike lanes to the street. Their survey was disingenous in that it gave 'Do Nothing' as an option. This muddles the issue. #saltlakecity 1/ @slcmoves @stretchtraffic Some residents that answered 'do nothing' (same as Leave as is) will be confused if bike lanes are added as required by SLC Code. Unfortunately, @slcmayor and @slcmoves have shown that they don't understand and won't follow their own law. See 100 S for example.

Just one more gondola will fix it!
UDOT hasn’t learned the principle of induced demand. That is, the more capacity a transportation system has, the more people will use it. 🧵 1/ The gondola at best has the ability to absorb about 15% of trips, but that’s not going to reduce canyon crowds. It will have opposite effect and will deliver 15% more people to the resorts.
