Important Council Work Session Set For This Evening

We'll leave the lights on in our lower comments section for any interested readers who'd like to comment before, during or after tonight's work meeting

Although we already touched lightly on the subject in yesterday's article, we'll drop in one more reminder of tonight's Council work session, wherein Trolley District Street Streetcar advocates will make a formal presentation on the advantages of a 25th Street east-west corridor link. For those readers who might be considering tonight's meeting, here's tonight's Council Packet:

• 10/05 City Council Work Session (37.2 MB PDF)

It's a monster file; so we'll re-link this smaller file (16.6 MB), for those readers without a fast broadband connection:

• Trolley District Community Advisory Network Presentation

And while we're sure that some of you may have given up hope for a 25th Street streetcar leg, in the wake of UTA's the Ogden Weber Transit Corridor Analysis, which eliminated this popular route from formal consideration, we'd like to assure you that Historic Trolley District advocates have NOT thrown in the towel at all, but are rather urging more citizen action, in the form of a renewed citizen lobbying campaign:

• 25th-Harrison Streetcar: 2 EASY WAYS YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE- RIGHT NOW

Over the 5-1/2 years we've been publishing Weber County Forum we've learned that we usually have to repeat our populist message over and over again before we finally get the attention of the Utah bureacrats who make the final decisions which control our fates and effect us all. So in that connection, we'll encourage our readers to open the above link, follow the recommended course of action and join in the effort to awaken the folks in our Utah transportation bureaucracy to the fact that the lumpencitizens of Emerald City refuse to accept a knuckleheaded 36th street corridor solution.

As for tonight's Council work session, we'll leave the lights on in our lower comments section for any interested readers who'd like to comment before, during or after tonight's city council work meeting.

Update 10/6/10 7:00 a.m.: Ya gotta know it's a s-l-o-o-o-w news day when a story like this rates as the top Emerald City news item of the day. Well... here goes..
