    • Easier
  • Why would a new UVX stop on 900 East make your commute harder or easier?

    I work mainly outside Utah. With a UVX stop I would have the option to take public transportation all the way to the airport.
    When working in Utah pre-pandemic I took the train from Provo Station to SLC for work.

  • Would you oppose or favor a new UVX station on 900 East near BYU and north of Wasatch Elementary?
    • Favor
  • Why do you oppose or favor a new station?

    The location is one of the best that could be chosen in terms of ridership: proximity to BYU for students and faculty, proximity to BYU for social events, proximity to students living at Heritage Halls, proximity to students and adults that live in/near Wasatch and commute.
    My daughter commutes to SLC and takes UVX several times each week. Having a stop at this location means she does not need someone to drive her to a bus stop farther away. When I commute in Utah again, the connection is perfect for me to get to Provo Station and take the train to work in SLC. Eventually housing density will increase in the area and we need public transport to serve the residents.

  • 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?

    We cannot live in the past. The Orem-Provo rapid transit was conceived to make it easier to commute without major investments. Pre-pandemic it was very successful, and TRAX has been extremely successful. We need in-place now the system that will serve us already in the near-future. It's a quality-of-life issue.

  • What factors relative to a UVX station on 900 East influence your decision of support of opposition?

    Excellent experience using TRAX. Obvious need at this location on 9th East that has been tabled. Many residents, students and others would benefit by a bus stop at the confluence of BYU, BYU social events, Heritage Halls, and the Wasatch neighborhood.

Open City Hall is not a certified voting system or ballot box. As with any public comment process, participation in Open City Hall is voluntary. The responses in this record are not necessarily representative of the whole population, nor do they reflect the opinions of any government agency or elected officials.

What are my options to participate?

Open City Hall has two participation channels:

  • The Registered Channel: Sign in before or just after you submit your response. Either way, Community Feedback will show your response on this website.
  • The Unregistered Channel: Don't sign in and remain anonymous. Community Feedback will just share your response with Provo City Council staff.

Note: The first time you sign in, you'll need to register (establish an account on Open City Hall). Registration is free.

Why do I need to sign in to show my response on this website?

The Provo City Council has contracted with Community Feedback to monitor responses shown on this website.

  • To prevent any single user from dominating the forum, the Provo City Council restricts the number of responses any one user can post on selected topics. Registration helps Community Feedback enforce this restriction.
  • Users, staff and government leaders often want to know the neighborhood from which a response is posted. Community Feedback uses registration to show the neighborhood next to each response (not the address).
  • If a user posts a response that does not meet the Provo City Council guidelines for civility, Community Feedback uses the user's email address to invite the user to resolve the issue.
I'm concerned about privacy. Who will get my contact information and what will they use it for?

Community Feedback will get your contact information. The company is under contract with the Provo City Council to hold it in strict confidence per their privacy policy.

What other benefits do I get from signing in?
  • Since you'll see your own response on Open City Hall, you'll be able to confirm that your response was posted as you intended.
  • You'll be able to change and/or delete your response as long as the topic is open.
I'm still very concerned about privacy. Is there a way for me to submit a response without registering?

Yes. Sign out, then set your privacy preference to be "No - just show it without my name to staff". You won't need to register.

What prevents an unregistered user from submitting multiple anonymous responses?

While no authentication procedure can perfectly detect every fraudulent registration, Community Feedback is able to secure the registered channel against systematic fraud: cases where users submit enough statements with fraudulent registrations to sway the overall interpretation of the feedback.

Community Feedback is unable to secure the unregistered channel against systematic fraud, because unregistered users are anonymous.

Neither the registered nor the unregistered channel represent a certified voting system or ballot box - and that caveat is footnoted on every page of feedback. Instead, both are additional channels for feedback to government.

Why are there two participation channels?

Users can participate on the registered channel (by signing in) or on the unregistered channel (by remaining anonymous). The Provo City Council offers both channels in order to broaden participation and maximize decision makers' insights.

The registered channel enables users to assure decision makers that their feedback comes from a real person in a specific neighborhood. It also enables users to participate in a public discussion on the website, as well as manage their own response after posting it.

The unregistered channel is for users who want to provide quick feedback without registering, and/or whose privacy concerns would prevent them from participating if required to register. Because many users with valuable insights will only share them anonymously, this channel gives decision makers the option to consider those insights in their deliberations.

What is OpenGov?

OpenGov is a non-partisan company whose mission is to broaden civic engagement and build public trust in government. The Provo City Council has contracted with OpenGov to administer Open City Hall.
