Overview

• City leaders marked the clearing of 2100 South between 700 and 1300 East after nearly two years of construction.
• The project rebuilt the roadway and replaced more than 7,000 feet of century-old utility pipes to extend infrastructure life.
• More than 150 new trees, along with bike racks and benches, were added as part of the streetscape updates.
• Salt Lake City reports $500,000 in mitigation grants went to 175 businesses, while owners described steep losses and the number of closures tied solely to construction remains unclear.
• Overnight paving continues on 1300 East with completion targeted by Thanksgiving, and local merchants plan an Oct. 4 Sugar Fest to draw customers back.
