study will use a collaborative approach to information exchange, joint
information gathering, consultation, and consensus in a way that will
promote legitimacy and transparency, encourage creative problem‐solving, and
support a timely implementation.” – Mayor Ralph Becker

Corridor Stream Study:
•To
assess current conditions, determine desired future conditions, and identify
opportunities for restoration and remediation of the inner-city portions of
City, Red Butte,
Emigration and Parleys Creeks.
•To
use the information, data, and maps developed during the study to inform
planning, permitting, and administrative processes of the Riparian Corridor
Overlay District Ordinance (RCO).
Butte Creek Temporarily Diverted while LDS Church Repairs Water
Line.
January 29, 2010: A broken pipe line
belonging to the LDS Church at 15th E on Red Butte Creek has required the
diversion of Red Butte Creek at Sunnyside. The pipe is located 15 feet
below the stream bed so the stream had to be dried up to make the project
feasible. This LDS Church project will require anther 10 to 12 days to
complete. Initiating the project now means less impact as the stream is at
its lowest flow. The water diversion is temporary and will be restored with
project completion.
