SLC ‘Pothole Palooza’ Returns
A week of focused work fixing potholes across Salt Lake City returns this year from April 7-11. Last year, city crews filled 6,759 potholes. Residents can report a pothole for repair and track progress via an interactive map. [Salt Lake City]
Housing Market Update
With the news that it’s now over twice as expensive to buy than rent in Salt Lake (!), we asked a local realtor what the housing market is offering first-time homebuyers, the toxic traits of one particular neighborhood, and why maybe you shouldn’t buy a house. [City Cast Salt Lake 🎧]
Dinosaur Dig to Become Substation
A three-quarter-acre dinosaur dig at a quarry in St. George must wrap up this May, so construction can begin on an electric power substation. Dinosaur-lovers wish the city had found a different location for the substation, not one globally renowned for its dinosaur tracks. [Salt Lake Tribune]
