Ogden Weighs Streetcar Placement - Deseret NewsAnother article about Ogden's efforts to bring a streetcar route back to our city, and where to place that route has been published in the Deseret News. Although the article, at the beginning, incorrectly frames the support for a 25th alignment as being about having the trolley simply pass by the beautiful architecture of the historic Trolley District, it is in many respects a good article, and we are very glad to have the coverage. Please take a moment to comment on the article!
We need to make it clear that the citizens of Ogden are in full support of a 25th - Harrison alignment and that UTA is not listening to the public will and promoting an alignment that is not right for our city, and paying for consultants with no transit planning experience, among several other issues. We also need to encourage the Salt Lake media outlets to continue to cover this important issue and let them know that this is something Ogden residents care about deeply, and comments are the best way to do so.
The Deseret News website requires a brief registration, via online form, and confirming your email address, and approval of your screen name to comment, (also via an email), but it is so worth it to make it clear that UTA is heading in the wrong direction, is not listening, and going against the public will! This issue is too important not to make your voice heard.
Also, when you do comment, be patient- your comment will show up on the site, but it can take a few minutes.
