Authored by Brian Tonetti
The Redevelopment Agency of Salt Lake City is soliciting proposals to advance the daylighting of City Creek through the Folsom Corridor. The consultant will assist with technical analysis, community engagement, and design services.
The Redevelopment Agency of Salt Lake City is soliciting proposals from consultants to develop a design master plan for daylighting a portion of City Creek’s flow in the Folsom Corridor on Salt Lake City’s west-side. The daylighting of City Creek will revitalize the former rail corridor into a thriving ecosystem and active community connection. It will complement the Folsom Trail, an off-street paved trail currently under construction (to be completed in Winter 2021). Daylighting City Creek’s flow will provide access to nature, improve water quality, and mitigate area surface flooding.
