What's CITY Talking About?
Chicks for Sale
Trying to start a chicken coop? This Is the Place Heritage Park has chicks for sale while supplies last. It’s $11 for three chicks and $4 for each additional chick. Send them a direct message on Instagram if you or someone you know is interested. [@thisistheplaceheritagepark/Instagram]
SLC’s Transportation Plan
Salt Lake City is drafting a 20-year transportation plan that will tackle issues like train crossings and freeway safety. They aim to bridge the east-west divide, addressing disparities caused by infrastructure barriers. That includes burying freeways, reconfiguring interchanges, and improving safety at crossings. While public commenters generally liked the plan, they wanted to see a Rio Grande Plan (a plan to bury rail lines and bring back service to the Rio Grande Depot) endorsement. [Salt Lake Tribune]

A Tornado or a Landspout?
Yesterday, what appeared to be a tornado but was actually a landspout was spotted in Daybreak. How do you tell the difference? A landspout’s rotation starts from the ground up while a tornado starts from the sky down. A landspout is also less powerful and therefore creates less damage, although it could flip a trampoline or take down a fence. [@LGLHOOK/X formerly known as Twitter, KSL]
One Step Closer to a Team Name?
The NHL has landed in Utah! And two new team names have been submitted for trademark. Plus, SLC schools are juggling a lot of big ideas and big problems this week, from bathrooms to smartphones and book bans. Here’s what you need to know, whether you’re a grandma or just a dog parent.

Transforming lives and communities through education
SLCC graduates are hard workers and smart decision-makers. 81% graduate with no or little debt. They opted for a school where they are in a class of 20 not 100—It’s nice when a teacher knows your name. Did we mention trailblazers? Almost half are first-generation students. Look for that on a résumé.
