This is especially import in increasing the "walk-ability" factor of the city. I recently have ridden several times north on Orchard to 400, and traveling east over I-15 to the Rio trail and have not felt safe, so I therefor must travel in my car to reach the trail. Additionally, the side streets are not safe due to the poor conditions of the roads and intermittent paving throughout the CBD. I varied my route for safety once to take 100 E to 400 N toward the Rio trail and I between 100 N and 200 N, I hit a rough spot that caused my water bottle to tumble lose on the street and all my water and ice was lost when the lid came off, resulting in having to ride on a very hot day without water until I found a water fountain at the golf course off the trail to refill with its luke-warm water.

Too many first time homebuyers, and especially single mothers, have no affordable housing opportunities in Bountiful and can't benefit from Utah Housing Grants such as the FIrst-time Homebuyers Assistance Program (for new construction, not to exceed $450,000). Tax Incentives for homebuilders and developers need to be explored and offered in order to meet the needs of the residents that fit this criteria.

This is of high priority to me as a biker who lives off of Orchard. I have tried riding north on Orchard to 400, and west to the Rio Trail a few times and I do not feel safe at all.

Let's make sure we have resources for those that currently live in our city instead of continually adding residence with limited resources. We had a good water year this last winter, but there are no guarantees each year we will continue to be able to provide the resources necessary.

Why would we eliminate car lanes when the roads get busier with all of the additional apartments and population growth in our city. Traffic is becoming a bigger issue throughout the city and restricting lanes would only compound the issue.

City should start their focus on Main St. Add high density here and implement traffic calming measures so it's pleasant to be in Main St.

And it'd be nice to have even more than a painted line to protect them, but a painted line is better than nothing.

I feel that recreation trails on nice, but in-town connectivity and protected paths for pedestrians and cyclists to run errands is needed. It's shown that seeing people instead of cars is much healthier for humans, but the infrastructure is lacking to allow people to commute and run errands safely without a car. Building infrastructure for pedestrians and cyclists is also important for serving those more financially constrained, ranging from families to youth. Car ownership is often built into our calculations for living, but many don't have or need a vehicle for transportation. People love biking and walking, but they won't do it if they don't feel safe.

There's North/South public transit (UTA) but nothing that runs east to west. Could a local bus run?

We don't need to spend unnecessary money on charging stations for our small community of electric cars. People can charge their cars before they leave their residence. It seems you people have no regard for the community and their money. You spend way to freely and raise rates on our utilities so that people will not be able to afford their homes and this needs to stop immediately.

I would like to see more green spaces in the city and preserve open spaces in the foothills.

Trails are great and all, but the city seems to be spending a lot of time and effort on this when the city has bigger issues to deal with.

Housing of all kinds needs to be available in order to promote a diverse population. Vast tracts of single family homes just isn't going to work anymore.

Please actively and directly include increasing sustainability. A connected community is part of this but it needs to go further. Most city buildings should be required to install solar panels and in many cases, battery banks as well. There should be more incentives for the whole city to move to cleaner electricity with incentives for existing business and requirements and/or incentives for new construction (private and commercial) to go greener. Planning should include green charging stations and preferred parking for electric vehicles. Love the general direction the plan is going.

I see more and more E-scooters and bikes each year. It really looks like bikes and scooters are becoming a viable mode to get around bountiful. But very dangerous at the moment. More bike lanes and bike infrastructure is vitally important to the safety of many of our community members.

In my opinion, we do need to open up more areas for flexible housing arrangements. The younger generations need to be able to live in their own spaces. Starter homes in Bountiful are $300,000+ which is next to impossible to afford for graduating students or newlyweds. Bountiful City Code has made it difficult to accommodate these small families. Mother in law apartments, or ADU's attached to current residences must be owner occupied. I think this rule is stopping a lot of young families from being able to find affordable rent. When landlords can't split rentals into two smaller sized units, they keep prices high and it drives away this young demographic. We lost Washington Elementary because we are losing so many kids.

Keeping Bountiful Main Street open later than 6pm would bring life into an area that seems to become a ghost town at night.
