SLC scores $26 million for Sugar House streetcar

By Derek P. Jensen
The Salt Lake Tribune


The second time was the charm, big time, for Salt Lake City’s streetcar desires.

Mayor Ralph Becker announced Wednesday that the federal government has awarded Utah’s capital with $26 million for the Sugar House streetcar, meaning the long-planned project could be complete by Christmas 2012.

The U.S. Transportation Department funding will pay the bulk of the $40 million to $45 million project, which will extend two miles from the Central Pointe TRAX station near 2100 South east to McClelland Street in the Sugar House business district.

“We are all enormously appreciative of the Obama administration,” said Becker, who lobbied unsuccessfully for an initial round of grant funding before getting good news on round two late Tuesday. The money marks “a return of steetcars to Salt Lake.”

Five stops are planned along the new line, expected to travel roughly 25 mph. Utah Transit Authority officials say a construction bid will go out immediately and work is expected to begin in the spring.

“This entire corridor is going to be quite transformative,” City Councilman Soren Simonsen said. “We’re kind of going back to the future.”

Everything between State and Main and 21st and I-80 has already been zoned Mixed Use, RDA designation.

Everything from 3rd West to Main, and 21st to the tracks is New Mixed Use, with and RDA designation.

So yes it looks as if both cities have anticipated the Street Car line along this route. So once a developer acquires the properties in these areas, he will be able to apply for a zone change, consistent with the Future Land Use map. A zone change in this instance will be much easier as it has already been approved on the land use map and the zone change is simply a formality to adopt that map. (it's not easy, it's just easier)

There are actually few back yards along the Sugar House line. It's mostly old warehouses because the train tracks that were there existed to deliver goods to those warehouses. Those warehouses could either be converted to housing, or more likely be demolished and taller, high-density housing built along the line.

Salt Lake City Resorts -
Canyons expansion is on schedule for opening day



The Canyons Resort

Patrick Parkinson
Of The Record Staff


An expansion underway at Canyons will make the resort near Park City the third largest ski area in the United States. The project includes a new lift and 300 new acres of skiing in the Iron Mountain area.
Canyons is already the largest ski area in Utah. With the new terrain the resort will rival Vail Resort in Vail, Colo., and California's Heavenly Ski Resort, according to Todd Burnette, the vice president of marketing at Canyons.




"Everything that we're doing here is really designed to try to improve the guest experience," Burnette said in an interview at the resort. "They can now get on the snow much, much quicker."

Before the expansion "there were a lot of qualifiers that came with people describing what they thought of the Canyons," Burnette said.

"We're blessed with some of the best ski areas in the world," he said. "We felt we needed to make these changes in order to compete."

Crews have moved the base of the Flight of The Canyons gondola nearer to the Cabriolet lift, which shortens the walk dramatically, according to Burnette.

"The idea behind that is really to make it much easier for people to get up on the mountain in the morning," Burnette said. "It's a huge deal. It took a long time to get up on the mountain."

Meanwhile, some buildings in the resort village, which blocked access to the base area for skiers on the north side of the mountain, were torn down.

Canyons officials now call that area the "ski beach"


By FamilyMan5K

"Now they can ski right down here into the village," Burnette explained. "It's going to be a huge improvement We're really borrowing a lot of ideas from Europe as far as nice furniture and little food carts."
A new restaurant is expected to open in the resort village during the upcoming winter season. The 4,000-square-foot eatery in the Grand Summit Hotel will be called The Farm.


"There are a couple hundred outdoor seats that will be part of this restaurant," Burnette said.

A new high-speed lift is being built where the base of the gondola had been.

"What you see there are the beginnings of the new lower terminal of the orange bubble lift," Burnette said, gesturing toward the construction site. "It increases the uphill capacity out of the base Now right here at the base area you've got two great options."

The lift chairs will feature heated seats and pull-down enclosures, Burnette said.

After a roughly nine-minute ride the new lift will unload between the Saddleback and Sun Peak areas, he added.

Those who choose to depart at a "mid station" will find "access to all of the old ParkWest ski runs," Burnette said.

"Now you can get to Lookout Peak," Burnette said.

The 300 new acres of skiing in the Iron Mountain area will have "good tree skiing" with runs for intermediates and experts, Burnette said.

Officials are also spending money improving the resort's ability to make snow. A reservoir under construction near where the new lift unloads "almost doubles our snowmaking capacity on the whole mountain," Burnette said.

"We didn't have the ability to make snow all the way down to the bottom early in the season," he said.

Officials began designing these improvements when Talisker Corp. purchased Canyons from the American Skiing Company about two years ago.

"There is so much happening," Burnette said.

He said the bulk of the work will be completed in time for opening day Nov. 26.

"With the exception of the reservoir, all of the rest of this is done by opening day," Burnette said. "The towers are in and the concrete is poured."

New meeting rooms increase capacity, renovations modernize design.

The addition of Waldorf Astoria Park City, St. Regis Deer Crest and Montage has raised the bar for businesses in the lodging industry, so Park City Marriott has raised its own bar, said general manager Paul Christensen...

Downtown - Pantages Theater Restoration Project

Visitors declare old Utah Theater a masterpiece, advise its preservation


By Hikari Loftus
The Deseret News

http://www.deseretnews.com/article/7...servation.html

For the first time in 20 years, the public was allowed to enter the Utah Theater on Main Street Saturday.

The theater, also known as the Orpheum or the Pantages, was built in 1919, first for vaudeville and later for film, and once was one of Salt Lake's greatest places for entertainment.

In December Salt Lake's Redevelopment Agency purchased the long-time vacant theater for $5.5 million, volunteer guides said. The RDA, with the help of the Utah Heritage Foundation invited the public inside for tours in an effort to gain some feedback on how to best use the property


On Saturday, visitors were invited to the long-closed historic Utah Theater on Main Street. (Pics by Mike Terry, Deseret News)




Jane Anderson, a volunteer for the event, remembers when a night out to the beautiful Utah Theater on Main Street in Salt Lake only cost 30 cents.

"Thirty cents would do it in the forties. Ten cents round-trip for the bus, 15 cents for the movie and five cents for a root beer next door," Anderson said.

Through the caution tape, cracking plaster, dust and supplied lighting, it is still possible to see the once beautiful and grand lobby that Anderson describes. She saw it when she was there for the world premiere of the original "My Friend Flicka" film in April of 1943. "Roddy McDowall and Gov. Maw were there for the premiere too," Anderson said. "I'd like to see this place look like it did way back then."

And Anderson isn't the only one.





Original paintings, marble banisters and plaster friezes, some dating back to 1919, are precious, some said. Many commented on how the destruction of the theater would be a serious loss of history and heritage.

Gregory McDonugh, whose grandfather was a stage manager for the Pantages, toured the theater with his wife, Karel, and spoke of restoring the building.

"Once you lose your architectural heritage, it's gone. You can't replace it," Karel said.

Ray Kingston, Utah architect, accompanied by his friends Randolph Holladay and Dave Marsh, commented that Mayor Ralph Becker, who has made construction of a new Broadway-style theater on Main Street a priority, should take the money he wants to use for that theater and put it into the restoration of the Utah Theater.


Original mouldings helped make the theater a showcase and popular gathering place for Salt Lake City in 1900s. (Mike Terry, Deseret News)





"Everybody used to come here! We used to watch movies. It was elegant. The Utah Theater is part of history that shouldn't be destroyed," said Marsh.

Kirk Huffaker, executive director of the Utah Heritage Foundation also said, the theatre is a landmark and has potential to serve a new cultural purpose. "This is a space that really brings feeling out of people," he said.





The RDA will consider public input.

My assumption is that the rest of this was removed in order to accommodate a light box with coming attraction posters.

...And also from the Tribune this morning.

Ballet West and The Salt Lake County Center for the Arts announced Monday plans for construction of the Jessie Eccles Quinney Center for Dance, to be completed 2013.

Ballet West to build dance center

http://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/home/50...ounty.html.csp

...The Salt Lake Chamber asked the dance company to remain downtown, as Salt Lake County was planning to renovate the Capitol Theatre. The county had also launched a new planning process for cultural facilities and decided to purchase the lot west of the theater for expansion.

“The pieces fit together really well, and then the county really stepped up,” Jacobs said. “It’s like an armada of ships. You don’t launch them one at a time, but all together.”


...The announcement adds a major performing arts venue to Salt Lake City’s downtown core at a time when Salt Lake City is also considering renovating the Utah Theater. The city’s Redevelopment Agency purchased the theater and an adjoining space between 144 and 156 S. Main St. for $5.5 million in January for a planned film and digital arts hub. The city opened the doors over the weekend for rare public tours of the 2,500-seat venue with an elaborate lobby.

Becker praised the proposed dance center as a step in the city’s overall direction toward a revived downtown entertainment district. “When you combine this with what we see with City Creek, we’re right on the edge of what so many of us have been looking forward to with the return of a vibrant downtown core,” he said.



(Scott Sommerdorf I The Salt Lake Tribune) A silhouetted Salt Lake Mayor Ralph Becker speaks about the plans for a new Center for Dance to be built next to the Capitol Theater. Ballet West announced a new expansion planned for the Capitol Theater that they feel "will dramatically change the face of Salt Lake's Cultural Core."

Oh...Duh, I was thinking the Questar building. That was done a few years ago. Wow, that's good news. I've never liked that exterior glass finish that much. It's okay, but I can see where a new skin could be an improvement, if done right. I still want to know what 'fur out' means.

Here are two pictures of the back side of the building where they have started taking off the skin. You can see the workers just left of the crane in the forground.

Sugar House streetcar to be a ‘model’ for U.S.

By Derek P. Jensen
The Salt Lake Tribune


On a sun-kissed Sugar House street corner, U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood shined 26 million rays of light Wednesday on a once-thriving Salt Lake City hub rendered weak by the recession.

By signing a $26 million check for a Sugar House streetcar line, LaHood is helping to resuscitate both a century-old transit model and, potentially, one of the capital city’s iconic neighborhoods.


There was little doubt from the clap-happy crowd of 100 huddled around the Sugar House monument.


(Chris Detrick | The Salt Lake Tribune)

(Chris Detrick | The Salt Lake Tribune) U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood presents city officials and UTA with the $26 million federal award for the Sugar House streetcar Wednesday October 27, 2010. The U.S. Transportation Department funding will pay the bulk of the streetcar line, which will span two miles from the Central Pointe TRAX station (near 2100 South and 220 West) east to McClelland Street (1045 East) in the Sugar House business district.

“Since the buildings on the corner have been gone, we sure felt it,” said Kathryn Allen, manager of the nearby furniture store Home Again. “It will bring a lot more pedestrians. It will revive Sugar House.”

Light even gleamed off the puddle circling the much-derided “Sugar Hole” across the street. That vacant lot on the corner of 2100 South and Highland Drive was the symbolic heart of a more-vibrant Sugar House before shops were bulldozed and construction financing put out of reach.

“I expect it to raise our property values,” smiled Tamisa Burns, whose backyard on Simpson Avenue abuts the streetcar route. “We’re really excited to be able to ride it to TRAX and take it to the Utes game and not drive. This will add character.”

It also checks a key box on Washington’s transportation map, designed under President Barack Obama to be a web of new transit connections funded largely with stimulus funds.

“You’re a model now, you really are,” LaHood told the crowd, praising the partnership of Salt Lake City, South Salt Lake and Utah Transit Authority for planning the two-mile line between the old Granite furniture block and Central Pointe TRAX station near 2100 South and 200 West. “Americans can still build great things.”

LaHood, who was “impressed” after touring the route, said the streetcar will be a lifeline for jobs and more. “They’re reviving the same neighborhoods they once helped create.”

In this case, it also will buoy a long-planned trail that will parallel the tracks on its way to connect Hidden Hollow in Sugar House with the Jordan River Parkway.

“We’re now working on it much more aggressively,” said Juan Arce-Larreta, chairman of PRATT, the Parley’s Rails, Trails and Tunnels coalition. “It was an idea, but it didn’t really have legs. This will fast-track it.”


Barbara Green, secretary of the Sugar House Merchants Association, called it fitting to focus the streetcar on one of the city’s historically most colorful commercial corridors. She thanked LaHood for investing in “this unique pocket of Salt Lake City.”

But the project does not come without concerns. If the streetcar line stimulates business, traffic congestion is sure to follow. Some homeowners worry about crime and sacrificed privacy. And Burton Brown, who lives on Simpson Avenue, worries about beeping crossing arms that could “drive me nuts.”

“I support it,” he said, “as long as it’s done right.”

Total cost for the project is pegged at $55.5 million. The check from the feds plus a $5 million contribution from Salt Lake City and South Salt Lake make up $31 million. Another $18 million comes from UTA between the agency’s 2002 purchase of the corridor and its funding for three streetcars, according to agency spokesman Gerry Carpenter.

That leaves about $6 million, which Carpenter says may be reduced in the bidding process due to low costs of materials. “We’re confident we can get there,” he said.

But officials are not taking any chances. Moments after LaHood signed the cardboard check, UTA General Manager Mike Allegra yelled, “where’s the nearest Sugar House bank?”

The Sugar House neighborhood of Salt Lake City will be
the launching point of Salt Lake's resurrection of streetcar
transportation. Pictured below is Sugar House Park and it's
specatacular urban vistas, which are commonplace amongst the three metros
of the greater CSA.
