The end goal of this project is to identify positive examples of existing connections in the area, and to identify ways to improve in places that present opportunities for good transportation infrastructure, such as signage, trails, crosswalks, and transit. In order to accomplish those goals, the class collected surveys from west side residents about their thoughts on topics such as neighborhood uses and possible changes to North Temple and the Jordan River Parkway Trail. Those survey results were combined with information collected from six focus groups comprised of approximately 18 residents of west side communities.

APPROVE MINUTES FROM JANUARY 28, 2016 – Posted on website and an email sent. Motion to approve minutes – Holly White, Chuck Baggett second. All in favor. 3. BINGHAM SCHOOL COMMUNITY COUNCIL STATUS – Bryan Veazie recapped – It is BHS tradition that we are an inclusive Community Council. We have a larger SCC than other schools – challenge with this is getting enough active members to attend regularly to assure a quorum. Do we continue to allow non-attending members to stay on as active Council members, as long as we have a quorum, or do we create a rule and procedure for removing them from the Council? We are pleased to see the turnout tonight as we have 19 approved members, 15 parents and 4 school employees. If we are ever in the position where we are regularly without a quorum, how do we address the issue? Jodee Packer suggested that if you miss three meetings for the year, you should be removed.

As an essential component of the city’s infrastructure, the urban forest, parks, trails and natural lands produce measurable health, environmental and community benefits. Many aspects of our public lands system cannot be quantified. The benefits of a walk in the park or the carbon deletion from vegetation growing in a natural area is not known. We do know that the trees and shrubs in our parks and park strips provide a lower cost, natural solution for treating storm water runoff, and management of air and water pollution, but it’s difficult to calculate the savings.
