COMMERCIAL

• Re-design central Holladay business area
• Re-design Holladay Blvd, 23rd East, 48th So intersections
• Pedestrian-scaled, pedestrian friendly
• Control of architecture and landscaping
• Village-like central Holladay-charming, quaint, pedestrian friendly
• More greenspace and landscaping in commercial areas
• Height restrictions
• Avoid strip-mall look
• Save historic homes and buildings---use for offices rather than tear down
• Stop creeping of commercial areas
• Strengthen existing commercial areas
• Strong sign control, especially in central Holladay business area
• Prevent light pollution from parking lots, signs, etc. into residential areas

RESIDENTIAL

• Keep large lots, require larger set-backs from roads
• Control size of house "footprint" to size of lot
• Protect trees
• Stop high-density creep
• Preserve historic buildings
• Better traffic control on "cut-through" streets
• Possibly mix apartments/condos into commercial---but not vice versa
• Most residents approve of mother-in-law apartments
• Maintain animal zoning (horses, etc. in areas where they've been historically)

TRANSPORTATION

• Fix the intersections at 48th South, 23rd East, Holladay Boulevard
• Make parking areas less conspicuous with plantings, placement behind buildings
• Slow traffic everywhere
• More tree-bordered streets
• Sidewalks on busy streets-especially Holladay Blvd, 48th South
• Biking, jogging, and walking trails along roads, canals, etc.
• Public transportation improvements-perhaps shuttle from peripheral areas to city center
• More trees---less cars
• Natural barriers (planting areas) to slow traffic
• North-bound off-ramp from I-215 at 45th South to take traffic from Holladay Blvd
• Get rid of --- or at least slow --- "cut-through" traffic
• Consider one-way streets, some street closures
• Keep sidewalks from being blocked by snowplows piling up snow there

PARKS AND OPEN SPACES

• Preserve undeveloped land
• Walkways, bike trails (again)
• Protect trees
• Limit signs
• Natural environment parks, including dog-friendly parks
• Consider park near Old Mill Golf Course to tie into Bonneville Trail
• Use creeks and canals for trails---but must preserve private property rights
• Add trees along streets for beauty and safety
• Pocket parks around city rather than one large park
• Balance benefits from parks with problems---vandalism and light pollution
