Mayor’s Presentation – Mayor Ralph Becker

Mayor Becker discussed City activity during the past year.

High priority to create vibrance in downtown as in pictures from the early part of the 20th century and as demonstrated in the Olympics.  Everyone wanted to be there and because they were, it was very fun to be there.  Mayor will devote energy to carrying out Downtown Rising Plan.  Utah Performance Center on Main…Designer and Developer have now been brought on board for this project…..Consultant to do analysis and steps going forward.  Thanks to the Redevelopment Agency, the City acquired the Utah Theater last year.  Currently in early stages of activating front of theater  (1/3 of a block).   City to invest in structure.  Then in a longer period of time to redevelop theater into another use…..housing, movies, or digital media.

City Creek Center, LDS Church redesigned portions to open over next 1 ½ years with 700 housing units, it is seen as a huge activity generator

Intermodal hub will hopefully be in next yr or two to connect east-west downtown.

Salt Lake City currently has more mass transit projects being built than rest of country.   This is drawing great attention to SLC as ridership exceeds projections.  Next, streetcars are planned.  (25-30 years)
