Segment 1:

Since his first election in 2008, Salt Lake City Mayor Ralph Becker has promoted walkable neighborhoods, the idea of allowing markets and restaurants to co-exist with homes and condos. He’d like that mix to include bars and taverns as well, but some residents worry about wild parties, traffic and drunk drivers that a bar could bring to quiet residential areas.

Guests:

  • David Everitt, Chief of Staff, SLC Mayor Ralph Becker
  • Jonathan Dibble, resident of District 6
