I am honored to stand before you this evening, in this new year, as the mayor of our fine City. Tonight I am going to part with tradition. A list and narrative of the past year’s challenges and accomplishments will NOT be part of my remarks in any detail tonight.
Rather than reviewing the list here tonight, I have made available a written summary on the web of the remarkable progress Salt Lake City has made during the past year in a wide array of endeavors.
Tonight I am going to focus on the future, and how we are moving forward on one of our top priorities of 2010: The Sugar House Streetcar.
This project reflects – in style and in substance – the goals, values, and priorities we have set for our great city. It exemplifies our continued commitment to move Salt Lake City forward despite challenging economic conditions. In fact, I see the Sugar House Streetcar as a metaphor for the State of Our City.
