Big Cottonwood Canyon This page was intentionally left blank. Community participants: As members of the Wasatch Canyons Tomorrow Executive Committee, we would like to thank all of you for participating in the Wasatch Canyons Tomorrow process. As government agencies dedicated to the management and care of the seven major canyons in Salt Lake County, we deeply appreciate the work and countless hours members of the community have dedicated to the process. The number of involved citizens proves the important role the canyons play in this community and it further drives us to keep these lands protected and accessible for future generations. Each of us has a different role in the management of the canyons. Our collective obligations highlight the need to continue a high level of ongoing collaboration in our management. Because of our responsibilities and the essential need for collaboration, we were each very engaged in the Wasatch Canyons Tomorrow visioning process. Our intention with the Wasatch Canyons Tomorrow process was to create a public dialogue where your voice would be heard regarding the future of these canyons. The values you have voiced, and the input you have provided during this process are vital to us as we engage in future policy choices, planning, and decision-making. The Wasatch Canyons Tomorrow report gives us a thoughtful menu of recommendations for projects, best management practices, and policies to be considered as we confront current and anticipated challenges in the management of the Wasatch Canyons. Some of these recommendations can be considered for implementation relatively quickly. We also recognize that consideration of many of these recommendations will need future study and evaluation to determine their feasibility, environmental impact, compliance with federal, state and local laws, and compliance with existing management plans. The driving force behind the commencement of Wasatch Canyons Tomorrow was the recognized need to update the 1989 Salt Lake County’s Wasatch Canyons Master Plan Update, anticipated to begin this coming winter. Of particular note, and consistent with your inputCounty in Wasatch the Wasatch Canyons Canyons Master Tomorrow Plan. Therefore process, Saltit is Lakefitting County that the will publication engage the of community this report inprecedes its administration and informs of Salt its FoothillsLake and Canyon’s Overlay Zone ordinance. The US Forest Service, Salt Lake City Department of Public Utilities, Town of Alta, State of Utah, and Utah Transit Authority will also look to this report to inform our work and to guide our collaboration. Again, thank you for your time and efforts. We look forward to working with all of you in the coming months and years. Together, we can chart the future of the Wasatch Canyons for today and for tomorrow.

  • Rockport Utah a Brief History and Photographs of Homes
    ROCKPORT UTAH A BRIEF HISTORY AND PHOTOGRAPHS OF HOMES Edited and Compiled by Thomas E. Brown FORWARD Several years ago I was asked to speak at sacrament meeting program in the Peoa Ward. The Peoa members of the Daughters of the Utah Pioneers had planned the program and I was asked to speak about the pioneers in the valley. Since no one specifically asked me to speak about Peoa, I focused my remarks on my hometown of Rockport. Days were spent researching the subject. Books and documents in my possession provided a base, but additional information was needed. Much time was spent at the Church Historical Department reviewing documents and soon enough information had been collected to fill the assignment. After the meeting, several friends asked for copies of the talk. The information was not typed and it needed to be put together better. All this time I had a set of wonderful photographs showing the homes in Rockport taken by Florence Siddoway Walsh Hunter years before. The photos had been shown to friends who said they would like copies. Because of the interest in both the talk and the photos, I decided to get the history typed and the photos enlarged and labeled so they could be put together in some printed form. There may be misspelled names, wrong dates, incorrect information, omissions and a host of other problems with this document. Some problems may have existed in the materials I used and some may be of my own making. This is not a complete history in any sense of the word, but I hope you find some enjoyment and satisfaction in reviewing the history and the photos just as I have.

  • Mayor Ralph Becker
    Mayor Ralph Becker Salt Lake City Mayor Ralph Becker is the popular, two-term Mayor of Utah’s Capital City. He was elected in 2007 and re-elected in 2011 by a wide margin. A visible and highly regarded national leader among U.S. mayors, Mayor Becker currently serves as President of the National League of Cities and recently completed work as one of a small group of municipal leaders on the White House Task Force on Climate Preparedness and Resilience. As Mayor, he has been an advocate for expanding Salt Lake City’s mobility and transportation options, sustainability, equality, social justice and enhancing the artistic and cultural life of the City. During the great recession (which began the year he took office) Mayor Becker led Salt Lake City government in addressing the largest budget gap in the City’s history without raising taxes, reducing core City services or implementing significant layoffs. “Mobility, or how we get around, is very important. A lot of people know me as the Mayor who rides his bike to work. It’s true, I ride my bike all over the city... I’ve worked pretty hard in recent years to make biking easier and safer in our city.” 2015 State of the City Address “We want walkable neighborhoods throughout the city and vibrant neighborhoods where people have easy access to services and feel included.” Georgetown University panel discussion, November 2014 Before serving as the chief executive of Salt Lake City, Ralph was a member of the Utah State House of Representatives, highlighted by five years as the House Democratic Leader.
