Hello everyone, I hope you've been having an excellent new month of this
new year! :)
Tomorrow's City Council meeting -- Tuesday, Jan. 22nd @ 7:00pm w/ Public
Hearings is below --
WAIT, I just went to get the detailed agenda and it's not up on the city
website yet.
It should at least be up though on one of the local newspapers but i
checked and it's not according to the newspapers' search engines.
This is very disconcerting -- watch this to see what I mean:

(Note -- you need a relatively fast connection to watch this. I could
put it up on YouTube or Google Video but then the quality would be so
low that you would miss important details. It's only 3 and a half
minutes long.)
Can someone check today's and yesterday's printed papers to try to find
the agenda for tomorrow?
-- it would be in the Legal Notices section of the Classifieds.
It is possible that maybe both of the newspaper websites made a mistake
and don't have it up yet to be searched.
Either way, tomorrow evening is the big hearing on the parking program
for at least part of the Joaquin Neighborhood.
Those that live in Arlington, and Belmont, and the neighborhoods
surrounding them should be concerned too -- *heck, everybody in the city
should be concerned! *
Why? Because there's a double standard between what they did on Seven
Peaks Blvd and what they're trying to do south of campus.
*Parking permit programs should be based on street capacity and traffic
flow -- not trying to keep track of who lives in homes.*
Until the city council removes the inequalities between owners and
renters and between single residents and married residents -- and YES,
students are residents -- they "reside" in a home(condo, apt. or house)
just like permanent residents "reside" -- until they abolish the
inequality, then the temptation for contention will ALWAYS be there.
Right now, renters and unrelated people living together are 2nd-class
citizens according to the city laws.
Email and call the city council members to do something about both the
inequality and the parking:

week's Daily Universe BYU newspaper:/

*Don't forget though that Ryan makes a fatal flaw in not having his
field of vision large enough to see the foundational problem of
inequality written into the law. Equality before the law should be a
foundational principle that is never violated.*
Allright, I hope to see you tomorrow evening.
If not, then watch or record it from Channel 17 on Cable or Channel 1 on
iProvo.
