TJ Aug 1 2024 at 12:41AM on page 1 To completely remove parking is to an make the area inaccessible to less abled persons. Watch UofU's ratings drop as soon as word gets around that we do not accommodate disabled or less- abled students and visitors. replies
CF Jul 25 2024 at 8:27PM on page 5 Seeing how these paths are currently being used doesn't necessarily indicate how they *should* be used, or how they could be most beneficially distributed. For example, the fact that the center of campus is primarily walking, biking, and scootering is because there isn't a road that goes from the business building to the union/engineering area or from president's circle. When there was a shuttle that went from the union to the business loop and back, that was my favorite shuttle and I used it every day. It hasn't been available the last several times I have gone looking for it, so walking is the best alternative. Similarly, it's not a surprise that south campus has the bulk of the transit because that's where the trax line is. It would be great to have transit options on the north side of campus, but there are very few options available. Please take into account confounding variables as you look at these paths and make plans for the future. replies
CF Jul 25 2024 at 8:22PM on page 3 Kahlert Village is such an ugly building and such a weight on this part of campus. As you consider new builds across campus, please do not do this again. It's unfortunate to know that so much good can happen at KV when it's so overshadowing in the terrible exterior. replies
CF Jul 25 2024 at 8:20PM on page 5 Agreed about the mourning of OSH! That was one of my favorite buildings on campus, and nothing has replaced the utility and comfort I found in that old building. Regarding the Union, make it more useful as well. It's confusing and feels empty and unwelcoming. It took me years to know where to find any of the incredible resources available within the Union. replies
CF Jul 25 2024 at 8:18PM on page 2 I would ask that all of these food comments also apply to event-space catering. Lower cost, more options, increased availability. Our event catering restrictions on campus are awful. replies
CF Jul 25 2024 at 8:15PM on page 1 I would add "consistent" to this. More frequent "consistent" shuttles, and all public transportation. replies
CF Jul 25 2024 at 8:14PM on page 1 Please always keep parking in mind with plans for our campus. Even as public transit, shuttles, and bicycle and pedestrian options increase and (hopefully) become more reliable, there will always be folks who live far away or need to be able to drive to campus for various reasons, even if only for events. replies
James Cocks Jul 19 2024 at 1:11PM on page 5 Suggestion The Eccles 2002 Legacy Bridge has a bike lane that can only be accessed by elevator. The bike lane ends abruptly at the stairs. This should be accessible via a bike ramp in addition to the elevator. replies
NS Jul 12 2024 at 1:58PM on page 3 Suggestion I'm sentimental and I love the Union. It could use an update for sure. I'm still sad about a lot of old buildings (OSH, MBH) just being gone for new, unremarkable looking buildings. If it's not prohibitive, renovating the Union would be my preference. replies
NS Jul 12 2024 at 1:57PM on page 2 Suggestion YES! Ensure that there remains a lot of access and support for this hidden gem so that it can remain a haven. replies
NS Jul 12 2024 at 1:55PM on page 2 Suggestion Libraries. Ensure the libraries have adequate funding to renovate spaces to be the hubs we love to be. replies
Anonymous Jul 10 2024 at 6:04PM on page 5 This crossing signal is slow to respond (especially during peak rush hours) and many pedestrians don't wait until it turns red to cross. replies
Anonymous Jul 10 2024 at 6:03PM on page 5 No clear left hand turn here for bikes that want to go into East Rice Eccles Parking lot to get into campus. Lots of bikes use Guardsman and it would be nice to consider left hand turn options here. replies
Anonymous Jul 10 2024 at 5:47PM on page 1 Bike paths should be clearly marked. The current system of bike paths around campus seem disconnected. See the area below the Campus Recreation Building or near Marriott Library Plaza for examples. Bikes don't know where to go! replies
Catherine Soehner Jul 10 2024 at 2:47PM on page 3 Suggestion The Eccles Health Sciences Library is already a favorite place on the health sciences campus with many amenities and services. Don't build more without considering what is already offered here. replies
Catherine Soehner Jul 10 2024 at 2:45PM on page 3 Suggestion The Marriott Library is a favorite place on campus for students, faculty, and staff. Be sure to utilize the services and spaces already offered there before building new things that would simply duplicate what is already here. replies
Catherine Soehner Jul 10 2024 at 2:41PM on page 1 Suggestion Instead of more parking on campus, why not subsidize parking near Trax stations to make it easier to park and ride. Free parking at the 9th East Station, for example in the old Office Max parking lot would be amazing. replies
Anonymous Jun 26 2024 at 12:23PM on page 2 Suggestion Housing prices that are realistic for full-time students replies
Mike Jun 25 2024 at 3:39PM on page 5 Suggestion It seems ridiculous that this section, near the center of campus, has no connections or routes whatsoever replies
Hannah Calderwood Jun 25 2024 at 10:08AM on page 2 Suggestion I would really appreciate there being more seating around campus, especially at bus and shuttle stops. My knees make it hard to walk/stand for extended periods of time, and having a place to rest during my commute would really improve my experience. replies
Hannah Calderwood Jun 25 2024 at 10:05AM on page 2 Suggestion Housing is very expensive and communication between different departments seems limited. I would love it if more housing scholarships were available / the housing was more affordable in the first place. replies
Hannah Calderwood Jun 25 2024 at 10:03AM on page 2 Suggestion Food is super expensive on campus, especially meal plans. I wont be getting a meal plan this year as I felt that I spent far too much with far too little return. Hours at meal halls were inconvenient, the food was inconsistent and the produce was often unwashed/damaged/had bugs. I ended up depending on transfer meals, which were often insufficient. I would really appreciate a revamp of the meal plan system- as it feels predatory and far from worth it at the moment. replies
Lauren Barth-Cohen Jun 18 2024 at 9:08AM on page 2 Suggestion Right now it's hard to get coherent information about food choices on campus, with regards to menus, hours, price etc. There are some food options run by the university on one website, and then many random vendors each doing their own thing with no central source of information, about the art museum cafe, 2 creeks cafe, red chair cafe, medical school food options, random food trucks, etc. One source of all information would be helpful. replies
Sarah Narjes May 21 2024 at 9:27PM on page 2 Suggestion Work to have a cohesive campus aesthetic (building exteriors / landscaping, etc.) that compliments your sustainability goals along with the beautiful butte / mountain landscape. Whatever the aesthetic, have it be on brand with the good growth you are targeting. (Too incredible of an opportunity to not make this an important element.) replies
Ian Briggs May 18 2024 at 3:20PM on page 1 Suggestion I love this point, "Diversity of vegetation and sustainable landscapes". Please reduce the amount of pointless grass space that serves no purpose except to be watered and mowed. Research park is a particular culprit. In many locations, plants that use less water will look better, require less maintenance, and improve the "Utah" feel of the university campus. replies
Ian Briggs May 18 2024 at 3:16PM on page 1 Suggestion A lot of people want more parking, but I imagine what they really want is a reliable way to arrive at their destination. Please remember to prioritize pedestrian, bicyclist, and public transit infrastructure over parking. As these get better, less people will feel the need to use their cars in the long run, and less parking will be needed. replies
Ian Briggs May 18 2024 at 3:13PM on page 1 Suggestion Please prioritize bike paths over bike lanes. The difference is that one can bike on bike paths without interacting with cars at all, while a bike lane is often "tacked on" to an existing road used by cars. If a bike lane is being used, it needs to have a curb or some other physical separation from cars or else it won't be safe enough to encourage bicyclists to use it. replies
Lorie Hutchison May 16 2024 at 7:51AM on page 1 Suggestion Adding Pickleball courts for students would be helpful for the community and students. We have a shortage of Pickleball courts throughout the SL city area. Keeping students on student court will open up courts in the community for the community members replies
JOAN OGDEN May 14 2024 at 1:01PM on page 3 Suggestion One of my absolute least favorite locations...the incredible light pollution from the Stadium which bathes such a wide area of the East Bench -- here at 29th East I have to pull curtains to keep out the light which goes on and on into the night. And with the baseball stadium, it stands to be even worse. Please convert the lights to downward direction, rather than lighting up the night they way they currently do. replies
