    Just as the failed Cougar Blvd and University Ave projects have shown, traffic is crammed into fewer lanes and commute time increased. For what? A small, tiny infinitesimal group of college students occasionally riding a bus in it's own lane that cars cannot use? It's a joke. Quit ruining our town with all these hardly used bus stops! It's ridiculous to cause more traffic for the MAJORITY of people using Provo streets for a comparatively SMALL handful of bus riders. It's insane. Driving down University Ave is a joke now. It took me a half hour to cross town yesterday. 2 car lanes jam packed, yet there is an entire lane wide open for an occasional bus that has 2-3 people riding on it. What's wrong with your traffic planning thinking? Please stop allowing bus activists to ruin our city.

    A press release sited that 100 fewer parking spaces will be available at BYU and you received 200 emails (likely all from students who will live temporarily in Provo)... That is an insanely small number of people compared to the numbers of people actually living here long term and those of us who use 900 East regularly. Would you please stop bowing to the false Utopian Dream of "mass" transit and start caring more about the vast majority of Provo residents? You can't judge the merit of a project by the number of emails you get! It's obvious that those who WANT it the most are the ones motivated to email you. Most people have lives and don't even know what the debate is about. That's why we hire government workers to use skill and good judgement, not "email voting" for pet projects where those benefiting are the ones motivated enough to write it (or even know what's going on). It's just like the false narrative about Cougar Blvd. How many times has anyone seen bike riders on Bulldog Ave? As much as we see Bigfoot... But the Utopian bike dreamers said we need bike lanes for these mythical, rarely seen bike riders. They rebuilt Cougar Blvd and took out 2 lanes and guess what? I've NEVER seen a bike rider in the street in the entire time since it was opened. Another failed project based on loud and motivated environmental activists inside and out of the city gov. Please start using logic and reason. We should NOT jam up our streets with cars stuffed down to one lane because small handfuls of temporary college students don't want to walk or ride their bikes on the new Cougar Blvd bike paths.

    Start supporting the majority of people! The majority of people drive cars and will never ride the bus. These are temporary college students! You keep jamming up our roads and making commute times much longer because of those stupid bus lanes that hardly ever get used. Does no elected official ever actually look at those busses and see how empty they are?? And at the same time, don't they ever looked at how jammed University Ave is while those busses are empty? Start using logic and reason and support the long term residents instead of the temporary college students.

    Look at the disasters of University Ave and Cougar blvd. Totally did not turn out as promised (usership). Can we not have ONE way to cross Provo city that's relatively quick? Why do you want to screw up 900 E like you did University? Especially for such a small group of people who could walk or ride their bikes? Think about the majority for a change instead of those who are most vocal.

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.

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.

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.

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.

  • 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
