Engagement Report April 12, 2018 Table of Contents Engagement Report April 12, 2018 Table of Contents Introduction..............................................2 Our Approach............................................3 Overview of Outreach................................7 Business Feedback Metrics........................20 Media Coverage........................................26 Qualtrics Survey Results............................29 All Comments............................................44 1 Introduction Mayor Biskupski and the Salt Lake City Council sought feedback to better understand public perceptions of City service needs and potential funding mechanisms ahead of a Council vote on April 17, 2018. The City engaged in an extensive public outreach and engagement effort to collect feedback from residents, businesses and others with a stake in the future of Salt Lake City. The following report summarizes those outreach efforts and results. Vision The City’s goal is to remain a place where all people can live, work, and play in comfort and safety. By creating more affordable housing options and connecting residents and businesses to better transit and complete streets, Salt Lake City can improve air quality and create a more resilient City for generations to come. The Need Salt Lake City’s population is growing and is expected to keep growing. The economy is strong, and the amount of people who commute into the City each day to work, learn, be entertained and seek out services, like medical care, is increasing. Salt Lake City is also the hub for northern Utah’s tourism and convention services, which increase the strain on infrastructure and services. The City’s bright future could be dimmed without investing in critical public services and as such must identify appropriate funding mechanism to address current and future growth. The Opportunity Through years of thoughtful study, planning and public involvement, City Administration and Council staff have identified unfunded one-time and ongoing needs in the areas of street maintenance, affordable housing, transit and public safety. Salt Lake City’s success provides a one-in-a-generation opportunity to invest in building a better City for everyone. While the City is considering all available finance options, City officials have identified two that combined stand as viable and reasonable solutions – increasing the City’s portion of sales tax and asking voters to consider approving a General Obligation bond to fund a package of infrastructure improvements. 2 Our Approach Communication Methods: § Project website § Direct mail § Social media § Email newsletters § Traditional news media § In-person opinion leader meetings § Community Council meetings § Small business contacting § Public meetings and workshops Materials: Engagement Fact Sheet Engagement Fact Sheet - Spanish Version 3 Needs Fact Sheet Email Revenue Fact Sheet 4 Postcard #1 Postcard #2 5 Website 6 Overview of Outreach Website Visits: § Unique Pageviews as of April 12, 2018 – 2,748 § Total Pageviews as of April 12, 2018 – 3,472 Survey Hits: § 1,885 surveys completed as of April 12, 2018 § 347 direct responses from Qualtrics Community Feedback group § 1,538 responses from FundingOurFutureSLC.com website link Telephone Comments: § 21 calls as of April 10, 2018 o Support: 4 § Biking and cycling needs to be a bigger part of city planning/development o Against: 13 § Salt Lake City needs to budget better/use existing tax revenue (i.e. from growth, current sales tax revenue) § Don’t want to see the money going to UTA § The City should stop spending money on festivals (i.e. Pride, Arts Festival, etc.) and redirect that funding elsewhere o Neutral: 5 Email/Online Comments § 51 emails as of April 10, 2018 o Support: 17 § Want to see low income housing funded by additional revenue § Desire to see real plans for how additional revenue will be spend § Proposed spending should include parks and open space o Against: 24 7 § City needs to be fiscally responsible using their existing budget /cut back unnecessary spending § Concerned about how the increase will impact continued economic growth in SLC (deter companies from relocating to City, make the area less attractive to home buyers) § Detrimental to small businesses that are already struggling to pay rent, park and compete with online sellers § More growth and new residents is already bringing in additional tax revenue § The City should use user fees instead § Would penalize people for spending local § Spending should not go to rebranding UTA o Neutral : 10 Qualtrics/Survey Comments: § 1,826 as of April 11, 2018 Email Blast § 21,700 contacts o SLC Civic Engagement database 10,800 o Council email newsletters 4,000 o Qaultrics list 2,600 o Open City Hall 4,300 Postcards to Residents & Businesses § Mailed to 92,928 residents and businesses o Postcard #1 March 28-30, 2018 o Postcard #2 April 4-6, 2018 Community Council Meetings: § Liberty Well Community Council- March 14, 2018 § Downtown Community Council - March 21, 2018 § Capitol Hill Community Council - March 21, 2018 § East Bench Community Council - March 21, 2018 8 § Glendale Community Council - March 21, 2018 § Fairpark Community Council - March 22, 2018 § East Liberty Community Council - March 22, 2018 § Wasatch Hollow Community Council - March 28, 2018 § Poplar Grove Community Council - March 28, 2018 § Bonneville Hills & Foothill/Sunnyside Community Councils - March 28, 2018 § Central City Community Council - April 4, 2018 § Rose Park Community Council - April 4, 2018 § Yalecrest Community Council - April 4, 2018 § Greater Avenues Community Council - April 4, 2018 § Sugar House Community Council - April 4, 2018 § Ball Park Community Council - April 5, 2018 § Jordan Meadows & Westpointe Community Councils – April 11, 2018 § East Central Community Council – April 12, 2018 Community Council Comments: § Has the City looked at other taxes to increase?

  • Light Rail Transit (LRT)
    Transit Strategies Light Rail Transit (LRT) Light rail transit (LRT) is electrified rail service that operates in urban environments in completely exclusive rights‐of‐way, in exclusive lanes on roadways, and in some cases in mixed traffic. Most often, it uses one to three car trains and serves high volume corridors at higher speeds than local bus and streetcar service. Design and operational elements of LRT include level boarding, off‐board fare payment, and traffic signal priority. Stations are typically spaced farther apart than those of local transit services and are usually situated where there are higher population and employment densities. MAX Light Rail (Portland, OR) The T Light Rail (Pittsburgh, PA) Characteristics of LRT Service LRT is popular with passengers for a number of reasons, the most important of which are that service is fast, frequent, direct, and operates from early morning to late night. These attributes make service more convenient—much more convenient than regular bus service—and more competitive with travel by automobile. Characteristics of LRT service include: . Frequent service, typically every 10 minutes or better . Long spans of service, often 18 hours a day or more . Direct service along major corridors . Fast service Keys reasons that service is fast are the use of exclusive rights‐of‐way—exclusive lanes in the medians of roadways, in former rail rights‐of‐way, and in subways—and that stations are spaced further apart than with bus service, typically every half mile (although stations are often spaced more closely within downtown areas). Rhode Island Transit Master Plan | 1 Differences between LRT and Streetcar Light rail and streetcar service are often confused, largely because they share many similarities.
