City to weigh road closures and security for temple open house after public hearing
Summary
Mayor said the city held a public hearing on planned road closures and security for a large temple open house and that officials are working with the Church and neighborhoods to balance safety with neighborhood access.
A reporter asked about planned road closures and security for a forthcoming temple open house; the mayor said the city held a public hearing and heard roughly 17 public commenters and is working with the Church and neighborhood partners to balance safety and neighborhood flow.
"We had a public hearing last night on it... We heard I had made 17 commenters last night, something like that, and, a lot of support for it and the opportunity it is to showcase not only the improvements around the temple, but, more of downtown," the mayor said. City staff said temporary street closures for large events are not prohibited under recent transportation changes but that neighborhood engagement and planning will be broader and more exhaustive.
Officials said they will continue outreach to small businesses and downtown residents, and will attempt to leave capacity for walking and biking while arranging necessary closures for safety around the event.
