If you’re going to have beg buttons in highly walkable areas, at least make your timing policy not put pedestrians at needless risk. @slcmoves

However, more widening is on the way. More work to do.

Bravo @slcmoves for this making this school crossing much safer for students. 👏👏 This is exactly the type of project that wealthy investors are trying to block via SB195. If you want to help push back against anti-safe streets measures, get in touch. sltrib.com/news/education/20…
It just got a lot safer to walk to class at this Salt Lake City high school

Students at Highland High in Salt Lake City kicked off the new school year with an improved crosswalk that's been years in the making.

700 East creates a near impenetrable wall between neighborhoods in Salt Lake City and beyond. Thanks to the work of many people who pushed for the Kensington Avenue Byway, the city and state are now creating a new crossing. The signal should go live soon. Bravo.

LAST CHANCE: Wealthy groups are working behind the scenes to try and block SLC from controlling its own streets. This is your last chance to push back and let the state know what you think. Don't let our streets be bought by dark money. survey123.arcgis.com/share/7…

We caution Utahns to be skeptical of UDOT’s claims about the West Davis Freeway. We have concerns about cost, safety and public health. #utpol #utleg mailchi.mp/caf0e7ca8d98/swee…

Update: Nothing has changed in nearly a month. (And the city’s policy says it doesn’t matter if there’s a zero lot line project, builders should not be closing the public right of way with impunity.)

Replying to @SweetStreetsSLC @slcmoves
Thanks for flagging this @SweetStreetsSLC. The new building has a zero lot line, so they have permission to temporarily be on the sidewalk to meet construction needs but not the bike path. We’re working with them to adjust.

#AMAslc: Right now, there are countless construction projects that aren't in compliance with the city's own policies around sidewalk closure, at the expense of people with disabilities and those traveling outside of cars. When and how will this be addressed?

"It is the policy of Salt Lake City Corporation that a safe and accessible path of travel be provided for all pedestrians, including those with disabilities, around and/or through construction sites." This policy has apparently been forgotten.

Salt Lake City has a guide for builders who are working in the public rights of way to make sure they maintain access for people with disabilities. It looks like some at the city have forgotten about these standards, so we're sharing them again today. buildingsaltlake.com/wp-cont…

"The removal, even for only a short time, of a pedestrian access route, curb ramp, or pedestrian street crossing may severely limit or totally preclude a person with a disability from navigating in the public way. It may also preclude access to buildings [and] facilities."

We add a continuous sidewalk for the first time on 300 West and then permit builders to stage their yearlong construction on it. Our standards for blocking sidewalk and bike lane rights of way need to change. This is a citywide problem. @slcmayor @slcmoves
