Salt Lake City and private developers have big plans for the North Temple area.
It is expected to transform vast and vacant acres into a thriving transit-oriented haven, complete with housing, retail, dining, green spaces and access to the Jordan River.
“If they build an auto bridge, that would connect North Temple with 200 South,” he said, “and provide a better connection to Poplar Grove to be able to benefit from the amenities that are going on at the Rocky Mountain site.”More than 120 years after its construction, the Utah State Fairpark may become an even stronger presence along North Temple., the Fairpark is set to dissolve its corporation and become a state authority, providing it with tools to secure funding and execute its master plan.
“Our intent is to provide more jobs, more walkable space, and also approach and hopefully make an impact on the food desert that’s in that area,” Mullenax said. “We’re hopeful that a year-round activation will solve some of that problem, but also bring some of the everyday essentials, which people in that area would like to have better access to, a little closer to home.
“It’s blighted’ it’s not gentrification,” she said. “You are turning this into a vibrant section of town that the west side deserves.”
