2022: The Year of the Neighborhood Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a peaceful and beautiful holiday. Here at South Salt Lake City Hall, itās time to get back to work. Our team is energized and ready to go. With one new and two returning City Council members and a terriļ¬c staff, I can already sense that this will be a great year! Here at City Hall, weāve already dubbed 2022, āThe Year of the Mayor Cherie Wood Neighborhood.ā As you know, Iāve always believed in investing in people, maintaining great neighborhoods, and celebrating the unique qualities that make South Salt Lake a small city with big opportunities. But with the recent creation of our Department of Neighborhoods, we are now bringing those promises together to ensure that residents have safe, clean, green, and vibrant communities to thrive in. Hereās how weāll do it: Our City already consists of quality neighborhoods, each with its own character and attributes. These include neighborhoods

The City mailed out Milkweed seeds to over 60 residents to plant in 2021. In the fall, a new Monarch Waystation was added just south of Fitts Park on 500 East as a pleasant new green space along Mill Creek, to attract butterflies, birds, bees, and yes, people too.

like Riverfront, Granite Legacy, Burton Place, Central Park, and Columbus. We want to maintain the features that make each of these places unique ā but also ensure that weāre addressing the speciļ¬c needs that could make our neighborhoods even better. For some areas, that may mean better street lighting, trafļ¬c calming, or additional police patrols. For others, residents may be more concerned about protecting existing housing stock and ensuring quality zoning as emphasized in our General Plan. Iāve heard residents in some parts of our city request more parks and green space, or bike lanes on north-south routes like 500 East. And still, other neighborhoods are looking to add convenient services like grocery stores and other retail offerings. Our Department of Neighborhoods will take a holistic approach to assess needs and bring these important components together for greater impact. It will help our city work more efļ¬ciently while serving as a great feedback loop between my ofļ¬ce and you, our amazing residents. So, stay tuned, get involved, and be a part of South Salt Lakeās next chapter. Because South Salt Lake is a great book, which is continuing to unfold and develop into the incredible community we can all celebrate and enjoy!
