"Mayor Anderson's "walkable communities" proposals, formed over the past 18 months, are designed to transform Salt Lakers' experience of their city. The mayor's proposed ordinances would put parking lots behind new businesses and allow more housing along the 400 South TRAX line, making the capital less automobile-centric. They would return residents to a time before cars and strip malls took over the cityscape and the changes would make it difficult to build new strip malls. The plans wouldn't apply to existing businesses.
