Fairpark’s ‘Slap in the Face,’ ’Burbs Bus Service, and a Good Cry

A Salt Lake County lawmaker wants more transit in the south valley — so do we! — but what’s the tradeoff in her current proposal? Plus, the Larry H. Miller Company and legislators’ plans for an MLB stadium in Fairpark are starting to feel Inland Port-esque. Will Westside electeds regret calling it a home run? Host Ali Vallarta and executive producer Emily Means discuss two very wonky proposals and share picks of the week from two local beacons.

Bills mentioned:

• HB 430 Local Government Transportation Services Amendments
• HB 562 Utah Fairpark Area Investment and Restoration District
• SB 272 Capital City Reinvestment Zone Amendments

Our take on the MLB stadium proposal.
