Changes to the Fleet Block Project

An updated plan for Salt Lake City’s Fleet Block proposes a 3-acre public space closer to the 9-Line Trail and adds vehicle access to key spaces in the massive redevelopment of the Granary District. The vacant city-owned property is located at 800 S. and 300 W. and hosts murals depicting the faces of people killed by police. The Utah chapter of Black Lives Matter has expressed concern over the redevelopment, calling for it to remain a space for intersectional community care. The final vote won’t be held until after an upcoming public hearing. [KSL]
