Salt Lake still to tweak pedestrian plan

After nearly five years of pondering, the Salt Lake City Council still wasn't ready to pass Mayor Rocky Anderson's "walkable communities" ordinance Tuesday. The council instead sent the ordinance back to city planners and attorneys for further tweaking and amendments.

The ordinance would require new stores in many of the city's commercial districts to build on street fronts and have at least 40 percent of their storefronts made of glass and other more pedestrian-friendly designs.
