With significant help from you, our planners and consultants have completed a detailed vision for Millcreek's City Center. The draft City Center Master Plan is now ready for public review and the formal adoption process. Click here to see the draft plan. The Millcreek City Center is located in the area between Highland Drive and 1300 East from 3300 South to Elgin Avenue. The district straddles a fault line, over which no new buildings can be constructed. To accommodate that geologic feature, and we have envisioned a community gathering space where neighbors can interact on a daily basis and large public events can take place from time to time, in all four seasons (think The scale of the anticipated buildings is desiogned to be sensitive to the surrounding neighborhoods, as well as to the theme of our City "connected by nature." The plan does several things, including: ● Setting a vision for the Millcreek City Center as a mixed use activity center, to include commercial uses as well as residential, all anchored on a significant public open space that can be enjoyed by all residents. ● Identifying conceptual design standards for all buildings, to be written into code sometime this summer. ● Identifying new street cross-sections that ---PAGE BREAK--- 4/1/2019 Millcreek's City Center master plan is ready for review 3/9 Click here for our Community Calendar enhance walkability and livability as well as provide additional opportunities for on-street parking. ● Recommending the creation of a pedestrian-friendly network of streets, lanes, and paths. ● Identifying recommended building heights by subdistrict. ● Recommending the establishment of high quality design standards and requirements for commercial and mixed uses, especially along the open space.

The spring snowstorm that started late last night dropped a lot of really wet, heavy snow onto Millcreek. Powerlines started failing at about 3 AM. As of this newsletter's 4 PM deadline, there are still 111 reported and confirmed outages throughout the City each a separate location that may service hundreds of customers. There may be more throughout the night, as Rocky Mountain's experience throughout today is that they get power restored to a couple of hundred houses, then snow falls from trees onto another powerline and a couple more hundred houses lose their power. Crews, augmented by workers from throughout the state and from Idaho, will be working through the night to restore power. We are being told that many of us may be in the dark overnight. Spread the word and check on your neighbors people on oxygen or whose health otherwise depends on the power might need your help. Large events such as today's are usually isolated to one area, or to one major problem. Today's snowstorm pummeled the east side of the Salt Lake Valley from 17th South to 70th South. Millcreek and Holladay got the worst of it. Isolated events throughout that area have culiminated in one big headache. ---PAGE BREAK--- 4/1/2019 Millcreek's City Center master plan is ready for review 5/9 Click here to find out Rocky Mountain's status reports on your area. ---PAGE BREAK--- 4/1/2019 Millcreek's City Center master plan is ready for review 6/9 ---PAGE BREAK--- 4/1/2019 Millcreek's City Center master plan is ready for review 7/9 MILLCREEK OFFERS VOLUNTER OPPORTUNITY MILLCREEK.
