@slcmoves Nice! Hopefully adding leading pedestrian intervals while you're there. Have loved seeing those around town

Just casually upgrading traffic signal controllers around town with an e-bike

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/

See you all next Saturday! 🚲🚶‍♀️😊 10am - West Side Bike Tour @ International Peace Gardens noon - Meet up at Green Loop Pop-Up 1pm - Downtown Walking Tour OR East Side Bike Tour Get details at: fb.me/e/OfPL3zdF

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…

@slcpd Awesome to hear!

Recently, while most of our community slept, our graveyard patrol officers safely arrested a man accused of breaking into several office spaces downtown. Because of a thorough investigation, our officers connected the man to another burglary earlier in the week. Great job! #SaltLakeCity #SLC #SLCPD

@slcmayor @UtahDEQ Glad to see it! Electrifying everything makes total sense, especially considering how RMP is retiring their coal plants.

Did you know using one gas-powered leaf blower for one hour produces the same amount of pollution as driving a car 727 miles? We’re kicking off the annual electric equipment exchange with @utahdeq focusing on making electric equipment more accessible and affordable to lawn care businesses. Leaf blowers and string trimmers can be exchanged by businesses for $3,000 to purchase electric models. Find out more at Chargeyouryard.Utah.gov

@NWSSaltLakeCity Is the Emigration sensor working properly? The mid-afternoon decrease is odd

A Flood Advisory has been issued for Emigration Creek as it is forecast to crest at 125 cfs between 9PM and 4AM tonight, above action stage. This is a great time for enhanced awareness/preparedness, and many flood mitigation tools are already in place for the affected areas #utwx

Utah should similarly upzone cities to protect open lands. The difficulty to build in #slc drives sprawl twitter.com/FrontierMontan…

@NWSSaltLakeCity Thank you for this. Appreciate your work. Also curious why this advisory wasn’t issued yesterday, before the flooding

⚠️ A Flood Advisory has been issued for Emigration Creek near Salt Lake City's East Bench and areas downstream due to snowmelt. Flows expected to peak near midnight tonight, and diminish through Wednesday.

@gopTODD Low taxes != family friendly. Build public transit so each family doesn’t have to spend $10k/yr on cars. Buy out alfalfa farmers so our lake doesn’t disappear. Pay incentives on EVs and heat pumps for cleaner air.

Over the past two years, the #utleg has reduced taxes by nearly $300 M. To continue Utah’s commitment to reducing taxes and cultivating a family and business-friendly environment, the #utleg provided $850 million in tax relief for Utahns this year. #utpol

If any of you were wondering — no, you don’t need to hold individual stocks. Index funds protect you from this👇

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. twitter.com/SpencerJCox/st…

@bikelakecity There's still time and tons of support for the crossing. Speak up folks! foothillsafetyproject@utah.gov

Last night I watched drivers try to shut down a safe street project because it would personally cost them the ability to make lefthand turns. Even worse, they’ll probably win. We keep trying to improve things without inconveniencing anyone. Your left turn is not worth a life

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! victoria.petro@slcgov.com ana.valdemoros@slcgov.com

@SaltLakeTom @SpencerJCox @Noahpinion is spot on. The inability to get anything built is a huge issue currently. Give the gov some credit for reading outside typical echo-chambers.

@SpencerJCox This is an incredible amount of reductionism and conflation of issues to suit some pre-conceived notion of what ails our country (“left-NIMBY red tape”). I’m continually disappointed in the kinds of analyses that seem to fill your reading list and you choose to re-distribute.

Louder for the people in the back. noahpinion.substack.com/p/the-build-no…

@SpencerJCox Wow, love that you're reading @Noahpinion. Hopefully the #utleg is going the same.

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
