During last night’s Snyderville Basin Transportation meeting, the organizers placed whiteboards with various concepts designed to better understand how the public feels about potential solutions to Basin traffic problems. Each of the 120+ attendees had the chance to put a green sticker next to a concept they agreed with or a red sticker next to ones they disagreed with.

This is important because our elected officials and city/county employees will use this information to prioritize which transportation solutions should be pursued.
