He says in 1999, the block of Main Street became private property, but as part of the deal, the Church agreed to a public access clause that says Mormon officials cannot prevent people from using the street. "The understanding between the city and the Church was that the public would always have the ability to walk across the plaza to get from one end to the other, or to come onto it and enjoy it," he says. "But the church would have the right as the owner of the property, and the entity that bought the property at full market value, to control the behavior that occurred there."
