Community Announcements

 

Salt Lake City Ombudsman – Bill Knowles  

  • Things are quiet at Boulder Ventures project is because owner has fired Accent Construction and brought in Big D to take over the project. They are doing research before giving revised completion date. It is currently 75-80% done. This puts a hold on the McClelland St improvements. All commitments will be honored.
  • Lowe Properties are starting their project the Dixon Place Building 66-unit project in the next two to three weeks. Sugar Alley timing is still unknown.
  • Wilmington gas line work is on the last stage of work. All should be wrapped up by end of summer.
  • Hawk Light installations – not done yet but should be done by the end of August. Delay is caused delayed parts coming out of the mid-west (flooding).
  • Wilmington crossing has been fixed. Three other small projects are ongoing – pedestrian lights on 1000E, Lincoln, and Douglas.

Salt Lake City Transportation Engineer – Jena Carver

2000 East Reconstruction from Parley’s Canyon Boulevard to SLC/Millcreek border.

  • New road surface
  • Irrigation ditch piped – curb, gutter, and sidewalk installed
  • Damaged and non-ADA compliant curb, gutter, and sidewalk replaced

Parts are still undecided – taking public input via survey. One is a wide multi-use path through the “gully.” Another is the Parley’s Canyon Blvd. Intersection.

Post cards were mailed to residents within ¼ mile. Survey closes on August 16th, 2019. The survey can be found at www.Slc.gov/mystreet or email comments to 2000east@slcgov.com.

Construction would begin in early spring and would have to stop in October due to cold temperatures.

Opened floor to questions from the public. Much concern about the safety of the “gully” crosswalks because they are blind and people have almost been hit.

Work has started concrete including demo on lower level, children’s area, and conference room.
