, the mayor’s budget proposes devoting resources to explore the creation of a “Great Salt Lake Shoreline Preserve.”
“I want to extend my deep gratitude to the community members who brought this idea forward to our city,” she said. “It’s this kind of creative thinking and committed partnerships that will help save our lake.”student transit passes “It will empower our city’s residents to make small but powerful changes in their homes and in the way they commute that can add up to an improvement in our air quality and quality of life,” she said. “This could be battery-powered landscaping equipment to purchasing an e-bike.
