Welcome to Salt Lake City |
 Salt Lake City is also home to a few major shopping centers. Trolley Square is an indoor and outdoor mall with many independent art boutiques, restaurants, and national retailers. The buildings housing the shops are renovated trolley barns with cobblestone streets. The Gateway District is the city’s newest major centre and has many national restaurants, clothing retailers, a movie theater, the Clark Planetarium, a music venue called The Depot, and a 2002 Olympic Park. There are two major malls across from each other on Main Street: the ZCMI Center Mall and Crossroads Mall. Both are currently undergoing renovation, where they will be modernized and connected by a skyway. Sugar House is known as a posh neighborhood with its small town main street shopping area and numerous old parks. Sugar House Park is the second largest park in the city, and is host to frequent outdoor events and the Fourth of July fireworks in the city. (Information provided by Wikipedia .)

Funding Proposal for New Libraries |
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE June 19, 2009

Office: 801-535-7177
Cell: 801-541-3941
Salt Lake City Mayor Ralph Becker’s Statement on Funding Proposal for New Libraries
After careful consideration and consultation with the City Council, I have chosen not to block the Council’s funding proposal for two additional libraries in Salt Lake City.
Throughout my career as a public official I have consistently supported increased funding to build and operate additional libraries in Salt Lake City. I continue to do so as Mayor. I applaud Council members’ commitment to the Salt Lake City Library system, and I share their passion for developing additional branches in our neighborhoods. Libraries are fundamentally important to the quality of life in our city and provide a center for discovery, learning and ideas. The Glendale and West Capitol Hill neighborhoods, in particular, are in critical need of the resources that only a library can provide.
While I support the addition of two new libraries to the City’s library system, my concerns remain about the process through which funding for the new branches was approved.
I am specifically concerned the proposal was not developed as part of the overall city budget process, which began with the administration in January and was presented to the Council in May. As Mayor I am obligated to consider the impacts |
