RoCKY HAS ALWAYS BEEN HERE FOR YOU
wEST SIDE SALT LAKE CITY
"Rocky vigorously opposes the Inland Port and opposes the current proposal for the warehouse district in the Northwest Quadrant of Salt Lake City. '"Such a horrible idea on so many levels" — former SLC Mayor Rocky Anderson rails against inland port' Salt Lake Tribune, March 7, 2022"
|
"'It’s outrageous that Salt Lake City is proposing another warehouse district, which will further degrade our air quality with polluting warehouse development, when dust from the drying Great Salt Lake is increasingly threatening to human health,' Stop the Polluting Port Coalition and Great Salt Lake Audubon wrote in call-to-action emails sent this week."
|
"...Anderson believes neighborhood business and walkable neighborhoods would reduce dependence on cars and would be more appropriate for the future of West Side development. We will also talk with Mayor Anderson, existing community leaders, and emerging leaders in the neighborhood and ethnic business community about their ideas for the future of Salt lake City’s West Side."
|
"'We want to see an economic development plan for the West Side that helps bring in more mixed housing, including affordable housing, along with neighborhood retail that will bring more diversity and convenience to neighborhoods,' Anderson said."
|
"Mayor Anderson proposed trading the city’s easement on the plaza in return for the 2.17 acres and the promise to build a community facility and provide programs for the 'underserved'."
|
"But will the infusion of new faces create the “big changes” Wright expects and hopes for? After all, it’s not as if Democrats didn’t have fiery progressives before now. Former Salt Lake City Mayor Rocky Anderson represented that strong-worded wing of the party but had few companions in his party known for their tough talk."
|
|
"The judges also said the sale was 'reasonable' because the city received $5 million for an easement valued at $500,000. The millions will build a center in the west-side community of Glendale."

|
"Salt Lake Mayor Rocky Anderson's effort to evict the Union Pacific Railroad from the Poplar Grove and Glendale neighborhoods has been foiled in federal court, for now."
|
"...the mitigation plan forbids Union Pacific from traveling faster than 30 mph in the neighborhood and would not allow the railroad to take high-level radioactive waste through the 900 South corridor."
|
"...I think he has learned from the hard issues he has faced this past four years. I therefore support the re-election of Rocky Anderson as Salt Lake City mayor." - Edie Trimmer
|
" 'Within the next year or two we will be able to reconfigure the Grant Tower tracks and remove the 9th South Union Pacific line from 900 South forever,' Anderson said."
|
"[A] major effort that relates to transportation, the environment, open spaces, and quality of life is the outstanding...Union Pacific taking its trains off the 900 South line..."
|
|
"The battle over renovations at Pioneer Park has pitted Salt Lake City Mayor Rocky Anderson against the City Council for years, and now the administration is taking its case to the people."
|
|
" 'We used to have rail lines running through here,' Mayor Anderson said, 'and it served as an effective barrier between the east and west sides of our city. This is now stunning open space.' "
|
" 'We're thrilled with the results,' Anderson said. 'There's been a very positive trend for the past several years in terms of overall satisfaction by residents of city services and also the perception of safety in the community.' "
|
"For a lot of people, Pioneer Park's best features are overshadowed by a seedy reputation. Changing that image will be tough and Mayor Rocky Anderson is taking on a plan he says both he and citizens want. Rocky Anderson, Salt Lake City Mayor: 'Cities, to a very large extent, can be defined by the kinds of parks and open space that they have.' "
|
" 'This new precinct is the embodiment of our community's resolve to stop crime,' Salt Lake City Mayor Rocky Anderson told a group of officers, city officials and neighborhood residents attending the ribbon-cutting ceremony."
|
"Anderson touts public safety improvements on the city's west side over the past four years. The city recently opened Fire Station No. 9 near the airport and earlier this month opened the Pioneer Police Precinct, 1040 West 700 South."
