Election Guide 2025: Candidate Instructions
Candidates were asked to answer as many or as few of the following questions about urbanism in SLC.
What do you think is the top transportation issue in our city? How would you address it if elected?
In a typical week, how often do you travel by transit, bicycle, or foot, without the use of a car? Would you commit to going car-free for one week per year?
How do you feel about parking minimums? Should the city continue to set parking minimums, or should it be the choice of the business owners?
In terms of funding city priorities, what is your philosophy: "we should provide services that inspire residents to use it" or "we should provide services with a demonstrated need?" Why?
SLC has a Complete Streets ordinance that aims to make reconstructed streets safe and accessible for all users. How would you rate the ordinance's performance--what's working well and what isn't? What changes would you make to improve its performance?
Do you support or oppose a permanent pedestrian promenade on Main Street in downtown?
Community councils continuously field complaints of drivers speeding in neighborhoods. How would you address this in your district?
How does Salt Lake City get more people to walk, bike, take transit and leave their car at home?
With the arts and entertainment district coming, how does City Council ensure that this redevelopment is not just a stop for suburban Utahns but also serves the city and its citizens?
In light of SB 195, which took away much of the autonomy the city had with its streets, how does the city government work with the state going forward? How does the city continue to make progress on its goals?
As well as an open ended question for anything else urbanism related they may like to add.
