Main Street Plaza time line
November 1999 Representing several plaintiffs, the ACLU of Utah sues Salt Lake City over the restrictions.
October 2002 The 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver sides with the ACLU, ruling the city cannot have public access on the plaza while forbidding certain types of speech there.
December 2002 Salt Lake City Mayor Rocky Anderson proposes "time, place and manner" restrictions on the plaza easement, a plan that is rejected by the LDS Church.
July 2003 Anderson and others develop a plan in which the easement rights would be traded for 2.1 acres of church-owned land in the city's Glendale area, where a privately funded community center would be built. The deal makes the plaza entirely private and the city relinquishes public guarantees of free expression and pedestrian passage on it.
August 2003 The ACLU of Utah, representing five plaintiffs, files suit challenging the community center deal on the basis that it takes away constitutional guarantees of free expression and was too favorable a deal for the LDS Church.
May 2004 Judge Kimball dismisses the ACLU's suit.
