If you've been driving lately in the Millcreek City Center area, i.e., the area circumscribed by Highland Drive, 1300 East, 3300 South, and Miller Ave, you've most definitely encountered cranes, orange cones, temporary barriers, and some travel delays. The City and its utility partners are diligently working to upgrade utilities and improve connections in the area. ---PAGE BREAK--- Despite all the construction, our City Center is a great place to shop, get fit, stay healthy, fix a car, eat well, and look good! We understand the temptation to stay away from the cones, cranes, and delays, but we encourage you to brave the construction to visit our hometown businesses in Millcreek’s City Center, and along the way discover hidden gems and boost the local economy. And remember—sales tax generated in Millcreek is the main source of funding for services like snowplowing, animal control, sidewalks, and parks maintenance! Here is a list of Millcreek businesses in the area that provide excellent services to Millcreek residents. Please check them out!

In this coming Monday's meeting, the City Council will be passing a resolution to cancel the 2023 election for the races for City Council District 1 and for Mayor. Only incumbent City Councilperson Silvia Catten declared candidacy as the District 1 representative. Only incumbent Mayor Jeff Silvestrini declared candidacy for Mayor. The deadlines for a declaration have now passed, so state law would not allow any other person to declare a candidacy in those races. State law allows a city to cancel the local election for races that will not include any contested races and to declare that the candidate for the race is considered elected. See Utah Code § 20A-1-206(3). The City Council anticipates that cancelling the election for those two seats will save Millcreek taxpayers roughly $85,000 from the budgeted amount. Three candidates have declared for City Council District 3—incumbent City Councilperson Cheri Jackson, as well as David F. Holz and Scott Springer. A ranked choice voting election will be held on November 21, 2023, to determine ---PAGE BREAK--- that race. Click here for contact information for each of the candidates and for information on ranked choice voting. ---PAGE BREAK--- ---PAGE BREAK--- SAVE THE DATE ---PAGE BREAK--- Scaredy Cat or Not—Register HERE! ---PAGE BREAK--- Harvest Market at Millcreek Common MILLCREEK.

It also gives the community a direct connection between the Grandeur Peak Trailhead and the paved Parley's Trail into the US Forest Service trail system in Millcreek Canyon. Trails Utah has been hard at work to provide new local community recreational trails that are part of, or connect to, the BST, like the The Rattlesnake Trail, Parleys Pointe Trail, Millcreek Upper Pipeline Trail, and now the Grandeur Peak segment, all built in the last two years. We underestimated the cost to build the Grandeur BST due to some unexpected expenses, and are still in need of funding to finalize the project. The total trail cost will be $105,000 for planning, permitting, construction, and signage. We are $15,000 short and need your help. Established funding has been provided by the City of Millcreek, Athletic Brewing, Bonneville Shoreline Trail Committee, and the Utah Office of Outdoor Recreation. Construction should be complete in early September of this year, and we need to pay the contractor, Nature Trails. We ask that you help support us in the completion of this wonderful neighborhood asset. Please go to support this project and more!
