• Sarah Deweerd

  (3900 South resident) raised concerns about disconnected sidewalks, lack of pedestrian infrastructure, and poor lighting in northern Holladay compared to southern Holladay.

• Ty Morrison

  (2867 East 4430 South) raised concerns about speeding (50–60 mph) and lack of sidewalk on the steep hill from Wasatch down to 2300 East. Mayor Dahle noted it is a State Road, limiting City options; increased enforcement was identified as the most viable solution.
