Last night, April 6, 2010, the Provo Municipal Council heard testimony regarding the proposed Isles Project. One of the major issues addressed by this hearing was how this particular project will affect the parking situation in Provo and in the Joaquin Neighborhood in particular.  The hearing is available online at provo.org.  Take a second to watch items 7H parts 1 and 2 and let us know what you think either here or on our facebook page.

The following graph shows the percentage of student who have cars in Provo that live at several complexes that we believe are representative of complexes that may be proposed in the future. You will notice that the black line shows that on average, 88.5% of students living in these types of complexes own a car.  We hope that this data and other data contained in our report will assist the city in addressing the long term parking issues south of campus.

The other results of the survey are given in the written report presented to the city.  A copy of that report can be obtained here.

The SPCA will begin an initial survey of students living south of campus on Saturday, January 23, 2010 at 10:00. Over the next several weeks we will be compiling a statistical analysis of the student population and their contribution to the parking dilemma in the Joaquin neighborhood. If you are interested in helping us with this data collection or in collecting surveys this Saturday please contact Brian Casaday. We need help this week collecting data from three apartment complexes. Thanks for your help and we look forward to seeing you.

The Student – Provo City Alliance will be hosting a debate for the mayoral and city council candidates and would like to invite all too attend and participate.

Date: Friday, October 30, 2009

Time: 7:00 – 9:00 pm

Location: Provo High School Commons

1125 N University Ave, Provo, UT

7:00 – 7:45 PM Mayoral Debate with Steve Clark and John Curtis

7:50 – 8:50 PM City Council Debate with Laura Cabanilla, Coy Porter, Sterling Beck, Cindy Richards, David Acheson and Richard Healey.

Not only would we like you to attend, but please participate by submitting questions you want asked to provodebate@gmail.com. If you don’t feel comfortable submitting questions, feel free to submit topics that you would like covered. Time is limited, and not all questions will be asked, but we’d love to find out which topics are most important to those attending, so we can make the most out of the debate.

The Student-Provo City Alliance formed amid the confusion to help find truth and work with the city and university in a meaningful way. Since then, each city council member has spoken with us several times. They are friendly, helpful, and eager to work with students. Their primary concern with students is simple: we need to vote, and vote locally if we want to be considered an equal stakeholder in the community.

We students have a tremendous opportunity to make a difference and be an equal stakeholder.

We can register and vote in Provo’s election this fall. A new mayor and three city councilmen are up for election. Issues dealing with students are at the forefront: the closure of Rock Canyon, bringing great businesses near BYU and more. We have created a non-partisan Web site to help students and residents register to vote and make educated decisions in the polling booth at studentprovocityalliance.org.

Be a doer, a leader, an active member of the community. We’ll be holding an information session Tuesday (9/29) at 7:30 p.m. at the Provo City Library in room 308 to help you get involved in the political process.
