Until the Salt Lake City Council amended city planning documents this year to open up the possibility of a sky bridge connecting halves of the LDS Church's proposed City Creek Center mall, such decisions would have been up to the Salt Lake City Planning Commission.
But in rewriting an earlier ban on Main Street sky bridges, the city council made itself-to use George W. Bush's term-the decider."
