😶 The mayor vs. UTA on design
November 13, 2024
Hey, Salt Lake! Terina is out today. I’m City Cast Salt Lake podcast host Ali Vallarta filling in.
As we near Dec. 1, I have seen some really fun advent calendars for sale around town — from daily dog treats to chocolates and jams. But do you know any local businesses or artisans making/selling advent calendars?
What's CITY Talking About?
Trump 2.0 and Utah’s Top Issues
How could a second Trump presidency influence some of Utah’s key issues? We asked an expert to set local expectations for us, from air quality to immigration and beyond. [City Cast Salt Lake 🎧]
$$ Decisions at Salt Lake County
At current, it appears voters have rejected the $507 million bond to fix Salt Lake County’s jail. Now, the County Council is weighing their options, including finding $165 million to fix the ailing Oxbow and metro jails instead of consolidating them in a new facility. [Utah News Dispatch]
Lights at Temple Square
For those of us eager to see downtown take on holiday glow: The lights at Temple Square will turn on the day after Thanksgiving. Though the display is still limited by construction. [Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints]
UTA Hub Design Opposed By Mayor
Salt Lake City Mayor Erin Mendenhall is not fond of the Utah Transit Authority’s design for a new hub and administrative headquarters at 600 W. and 300 S. The mayor, and others, worry the blueprint creates a big wall cutting off the west side from downtown. [Building Salt Lake, X]
