Favor
Why do you oppose or favor a new station?
From the beginning, I thought this was the logical location for a stop, since it's close to the center of campus and to fine-arts activities. Frankly, I was shocked that there was opposition at all. One of the claims made was that it would increase vagrancy and crime by providing easy access to the neighborhood from FrontRunner. That has not happened. Another expressed concern was that students at Wasatch Elementary would encounter people with mental illness who were going to the Comprehensive Clinic. It boggles my mind that someone would think such people are dangerous or undesirable.
I still think that for most BYU students this is a more convenient location than the other two campus stops. And now that access to the Harris Fine Arts Center has been curtailed, along with the construction of the new music building, attendance at fine-arts productions has become much more challenging. Allowing patrons to park elsewhere and take UVX to campus would be a great option.
Regarding a proposed new UVX station on 900 East near BYU and Wasatch Elementary, what message of concern or support would you want to share with elected officials?
The group against the proposed stop would have you believe that they represent the neighborhood, but I don't believe they do--they were just very vocal and experienced at getting their view in front of the right people. At the time, I didn't even know if there were others who supported the location in question and I didn't know how to fight what appeared to be an insurmountable movement. But now I can see that there are other like-minded individuals and I feel that I need to push for this logical next step. I still cannot see what possible harm this stop can do.
What factors relative to a UVX station on 900 East influence your decision of support of opposition?
Frankly, it just makes sense and we need to finish what should have happened in the first place.
