Community Announcements

 

Fire Station #3

SAVE Neighborhoods – A program that will show you which elementary school you would report to for community support during a disaster. Not a shelter or medical site. No food or water. A 96-hour kit is something you would bring with you to the site. A list for 96-hour kits is available on the site. bereadyslc.com

 

District 7 CIU Detective Cooper Landvatter

Trends are a slight uptick in vehicle and house burglaries. If you report anything call the emergency or non-emergency numbers. Do NOT use Nextdoor or the SLC App. That will not help. It’s okay to call regarding suspicious individuals, you are not wasting their time. It will trigger a report that will help direct recourses to your area.

Fairmont Park has had an increase in complaints that are now being addressed. Initially they did not know because people weren’t contacting police – just using Nextdoor or the SLC App.

Use SpeedWatchSLC to report problems with speeding drivers. Reporting will increase monitoring.

 

Salt Lake City Parks – Tyler Murdock Project Manager

Update on the Fairmont Park Stream Project. Applied for and was awarded CIP Funding for improvements. Three objectives: Stabilize the banks, plant new trees and shrubs for wildlife, and create a safe and accessible place for the public to interact with the stream. The stream is nearly all spring-fed.

 

Sprague Library Update

Peter Bromberg, Director; Debbie Ehrman, Deputy Director; and Gordon Bradberry, Head of Facilities – Salt Lake City Public Library

They are done with demolition and almost done with the permitting process. Likely construction will begin in 3-6 weeks. Building is 92 years old but there were few surprises. Construction will take 9-12 months.

Regarding the restrooms: They are a universal access design which is based on research on how to reduce crime while increasing access. It increases the visibility of each door, so they are safer, while helping families have access to opposite gender restrooms for children and elderly. The International Code Council (ICC) recently adopted amendments which support this design and will be released in 2021.

 

Wasatch Studio Tour – David LeCheminant

Salt Lake City is the only large metro that doesn’t have a citywide art event. This is focused on studios instead of galleries. They have 120 artists enrolled. Would like to form a relationship with the SHCC. Four groups are in our area. Art Hous, Local Colors, Jewelry, Rockwood Studios. There are also another 22 scattered throughout our zip codes. They have several sponsors. October 12-13, 10-6 Free More information is available on the Wasatch Studio Tour website and Instagram.
