Residents of Taylor Street expressed growing concerns during a recent government meeting regarding the increasing traffic and safety issues in their neighborhood, particularly due to the proximity of Weber State University. One resident highlighted the challenges faced by families living on the street, noting a significant rise in the number of students and faculty using Taylor as a thoroughfare.

The resident shared personal experiences, emphasizing the dangers posed by distracted drivers, often seen using their phones while navigating the busy street. This situation has reportedly worsened following the closure of other nearby roads, leading to a surge in traffic on Taylor.

Despite these challenges, the resident conveyed a sense of optimism about potential solutions, although recent discussions with city officials have raised concerns about the feasibility of addressing these issues effectively. The community remains hopeful for a resolution that prioritizes the safety of children and pets in the area.
