To Centerville/Bountiful residents: The rail system proposed by UTA depends upon ridership to support it. Ridership is developed by building transit-oriented communities such as desired by our city councils in the general plans. Density comes from apartments built on the top of businesses, or just more density as pictured above. We can stop rail if we can get our city councils to change the general plans back to say no to both rail and transit-oriented developments (TOD)on our mainstreets. Our city councils say not to worry because the project is 30 to 40 years out. NOT TRUE! Saffron Capson (Lochner Engineering)said 03/17/10 in adddition to any potential federal funding there are other ways to find money. They are looking for it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ReplyDeleteOMG! Density! The very thought, that people might want to live in Centerville, even if it means living in an apartment!
