The district’s board of education decided unanimously on Twin Peaks, Spring Lane and Millcreek elementaries That came after the fall student population report showed the district losing 1,255 kids across all grades The pushback from parents has been swift and loud Several moms and dads accused the school district of bias saying it intentionally picked schools that have large minority and low-income populations Others said they were worried the consolidation would overcrowd their kids’ current school A few named other schools they wanted shut down instead [READ MORE: Granite School District is looking to close these 3 elementary schools] The school district acknowledged that it’s not pleasant for anyone to close schools and said it specifically tried not to impact already vulnerable populations with the closures the director of planning and boundaries for Granite the president of the board said Tuesday: “We have listened to all groups and all sides It’s just a tough vote that we have to take tonight.” The district previously closed three elementary schools in 2019. And it shuttered Granite High in 2009. The population in its boundaries is aging, and many families are electing to go to charter schools instead. Here’s a breakdown of the demographics at the three schools being closed — as well as two others that were on the list for consideration. • Address: 5325 S. 1045 East, Salt Lake City • Enrollment decline since 2017: 141 fewer students Twin Peaks has a student body that is 57% minority and 43%, specifically, that is Latino. Based on family income, 59% of the students are considered economically disadvantaged. Additionally, of those who live in Twin Peaks’ boundaries, only 51% are choosing to go there. That means half of the kids in the neighborhood are selecting to go to other schools instead. The school, along with Spring Lane, was recommended for closure in all three of the plans put forward by the district’s population study committee. (Trent Nelson | The Salt Lake Tribune) Lindsay Godsey's sign in support of Spring Lane Elementary in Holladay on Tuesday, May 10, 2022. • Enrollment decline since 2017: 262 fewer students This elementary has 40% students of color and 14% who are Latino. Its student body is 44% from low-income families. Those living in the boundaries of Spring Lane is the same as Twin Peaks, at 51%. Most students now attending Spring Lane would be moved to Oakwood Elementary; the Chinese dual immersion program currently operated at Spring Lane would continue at Oakwood. • Enrollment decline since 2017: 160 fewer students Millcreek Elementary has 52% of students who are from racial and ethnic backgrounds, including 38% who are Latino. Of the three schools, it has the highest percentage of those who are economically disadvantaged, at 60%. At the same time, Millcreek has the smallest percentage of students living in boundaries for the school. Only 48% of those in the neighborhood attend the elementary. It is also the oldest building of the schools being considered. The elementary was built in 1955. And it has the smallest square footage of the spaces looked at. The dual immersion program there would be combined with the existing Spanish program at William Penn Elementary, where Millcreek students who go with the closure. This was a major spot of contention for parents. But Hogan said that 100 of the 127 families in the dual immersion program at Millcreek have said they will move to Penn. “Penn already has the teachers and structure and support in place,” he added. The district also looked at possibly closing Moss Elementary and Lincoln Elementary. Moss, in Millcreek, has 470 students and 73% are students of color. Of its population, 74% come from low-income households. Lincoln, in South Salt Lake, has 408 students this fall. It has a minority population at 79%. The students who are economically disadvantaged there account for 70% of those enrolled. That makes both of them more diverse than the schools being closed. The district has also said that closing Moss and Lincoln would require adding more buses to existing routes to transport students to their new elementaries. Additionally, more of the students who attend Moss and Lincoln live within their school’s boundaries than do at Twin Peaks, Spring Lane or Millcreek elementaries. Moss has 90% of kids in boundaries; Lincoln has 78%. That’s a strong indicator of continued enrollment with the families in those neighborhoods.

Town's purchase of land at the gateway to Water Mill closed recently An early rendering of how the newly-purchased land in Water Mill might be developed for recreation Southampton Town has plans to create a public park at Settler's Field in Water Mill An early concept map crafted for the Water Mill Citizens Advisory Committee depicts a canoe/kayak launch Almost a year after the public hearing on the purchase of property at the gateway to Water Mill the Town of Southampton has closed on the buy the long-awaited $5.8 million purchase using Community Preservation Fund revenues went through and the broken-down fence that encased the acreage along Montauk Highway came down did structures on the land fronting Mill Creek At the time of the December 2021 public hearing on the plan online real estate sites valued the almost 6 acres of land just west of Water Mill’s main drag nestled on the north side of Montauk Highway and bordered by Old Country Road The acquisition comprises two parcels just east of the Settlers Field triangle at the entrance to Water Mill’s business district They’re across Montauk Highway at the curve between Cobb Road and the Little Cobb Road merge The town has plans to create a public park dubbing the site “Settlers Field.” Another suggested name is Mill Creek Park Southampton Town Supervisor Jay Schneiderman noted the abundance of vegetation alongside the dilapidated fence which was a little over a quarter mile long Doing so would open up the view to the pond Water Mill Citizens Advisory Committee member Steve Abramson predicted that the park could rival East Hampton Village’s scenic entrance “The purchase of this 7-acre property adjacent to the 1.5 acres of open space (Settlers Field) will create both … an extraordinary scenic gateway to the east end of the town … and a large recreational park with 944 feet of waterfront on Mill Creek that joins Mill Pond and Mecox Bay,” he said during the hearing “The town’s strategic purchase of this property completes the preservation of the entire quarter-mile south shore of Mill Creek for what will become Mill Creek Park presenting a grand scenic gateway to the East End borders on Route 27 and will afford beautiful wide-open vistas traveling east and west,” Abramson added this week Councilman Rick Martel said he was thrilled for both the Water Mill community and the town at large “The preservation of the Burden property as a park will be a gem for all,” he said “Opening up the beautiful vista as you travel in and through Water Mill is an added bonus I love that we are preserving it for future generations.” “It is a rare thing for CPF to be used to create a public park let alone a unique public waterfront park with over a quarter-mile vista along [Route] 27,” Abramson said during last year’s hearing “Drivers in both directions through Water Mill will enjoy a panorama of the natural beauty embodied in our bountiful waters and landscapes.” the CPF is a dedicated fund to be used for the preservation of open space It garners revenue through a 2 percent tax on most real estate transfers voters in all five East End towns overwhelmingly approved propositions to extend the Peconic Bay Community Preservation Fund and allow as much as 20 percent of its future proceeds to be used to improve water quality The purchase would serve that need as well protecting sensitive waters from pollution that would have been unavoidable were the property to have been developed Schneiderman also celebrated the finishing touches on the acquisition this week “The new park will be a wonderful addition to downtown Water Mill,” he said the public will have access to the waterfront It will also create a stunning view of Mill Creek from Montauk Highway I’m looking forward to working with landscape architect Chris LaGuardia on the park design.” LaGuardia is the owner of LaGuardia Design Group based in Water Mill the adjacent 1.5-acre triangular piece on Old Country Road was dedicated and named Settlers Field the community purchased and maintained many of its own historic resources The Settlers Field triangle was cleared and landscaped with private funds from local families removal of the road that separates the triangle from the new buy is under consideration motorists heading east will be greeted by a sweeping slice of nature According to the history detailed on its website “The Water Mill Community Club first began in 1952 when Little League baseball came to Water Mill Volunteers sponsored a team and built a baseball field on Foster land adjacent to Old County Road Sons of the community started with hats as uniforms and Mothers baked cakes and cookies for bake sales to raise money for the Little League.” the supervisor speculated that baseball Hall of Famer and local

I've been here since 2019 Never had a problem with anyone and then suddenly got some dude shooting marbles out of a paintball gun," said George has lived in her home for more than 20 years She stressed that they've never had issues like this so I looked over and this window has a star in it I thought initially it had been hit by a BB and then I looked down and there was a white marble on the ground below," said White Both of the residents hope the police will take action so this can be stopped I started noticing some dings on my car," said George White said her neighbors a few doors down also had damage to vehicle windows that were parked on their property "Her windows have been shot out three times And she's got white marbles all around the car We just want to catch this guy and hold him accountable It's costing me $1,800 to replace one window," said White Some residents are worried about people getting injured especially with many kids and pets in the area "You get cars — we're on a busy street — but other than that it's quiet and it sucks to have one person come in and ruin all of that," said George They encourage others who are dealing with this situation to contact the police branded construction fencing at 99 University Ave lately could assume the sprawling site is idle But according to a prominent intown development firm Officials with Mill Creek Residential, a national developer that’s built upscale intown apartments from Decatur to Buckhead in recent years say Modera Southside Trail remains an active and viable project at a former industrial property in Peoplestown Vacant buildings on the 11.4-acre University Avenue site located just east of the downtown Connector had previously been used for truck repair and a fueling station. Demolition began about 19 months ago “We’ve completed the demolition of the existing structure and site work is currently in progress,” Phil Carson Mill Creek’s vice president of development The project calls for 402 apartments spread across several mid-rise buildings with a centralized amenity space and surface parking lots in between a stone’s throw from an under-construction stretch of the Beltline’s Southside Trail Construction schedules in early 2023 called for opening the first units in the fourth quarter of this year Carson says vertical construction at Modera Southside Trail is now on track to start in the second quarter of 2025 Officials have said 15 percent of Modera Southside Trail apartments—or 61 homes—will be reserved as affordable housing at 80 percent of the area’s median income (Previous working titles for the project were cease-and-desist magnet “Modera Beltline” and “Modera SoDo.”) The property also borders the site where 27-year-old Rayshard Brooks was fatally shot during an altercation with Atlanta police in June 2020 The drive-through restaurant was set ablaze by protestors and demolished the following month.  Also nearby, adaptive-reuse food hall and office project Terminal South began construction in January The Beltline section in question—the Southside Trail’s Segments 2 and 3—began full construction this past summer and is scheduled to open in early 2026 Swing up to the gallery for more images and context Twitter / Facebook/and now: Instagram   • Peoplestown news, discussion (Urbanize Atlanta)  Gwen Moore can rattle off the names of all sorts of characters who once walked the streets of Mill Creek Valley Louis neighborhood demolished in the name of urban renewal in the late 1950s The poet Walt Whitman stayed there during trips to visit his brother and the owner of the Daily Missouri Republican also called the community home Moore herself was among its last residents living there with her parents along with about 20,000 other African-American St Louisans who were displaced by the demolition that began in 1959 Located in the city’s central corridor, Mill Creek had been branded a slum by that point. But Moore, who is now the curator of urban landscape and community identity at the Missouri Historical Society remembers her childhood neighborhood with fondness and I remember being traumatized when we were told that we had to move,” she said Louis on the Air host Don Marsh and two other panelists at Harris Stowe State University last week for a conversation ­about the community that once existed between 20th Street and Saint Louis University Despite the neighborhood’s nearly 200-year history and the presence of hundreds of business and institutions in the 1950s Louis voters of the period approved the bond issue connected to its destruction a professor emeritus of political science and public policy administration at the University of Missouri­–St said that the region’s political leaders took advantage of laws that made it easy to deem an area blighted particularly Mayor [Joseph] Darst and subsequently Mayor [Raymond] Tucker along with a new business organization called Civic Progress – now not so new in our memories – had plans for the continued economic development of the St it could no longer be just the city – it needed to be the city and the county “At the heart of their plans was the central corridor And in order to make the central corridor work better one of which – they had to get rid of this neighborhood that was right in the middle of things.” Jones covered the Mill Creek story and watched it all come down He said during the HSSU event that he was “not sensitive enough” to some of the issues at play “We did not cover the racial dimensions of that story at all,” Jones said It was a sign of my insensitivity and not seeing what should have been seen because it was right in front of my eyes.” He considers Mill Creek a “missed opportunity” as he looks back on that time and considers what might have been “This could have been a successful example the first in the United States,” Jones said during the discussion “of taking a community in place and strengthening it with a mix of private and public funds – possibly doing a few things that would require trimming or reshaping it but not dramatically rooting it out and throwing it away.” Gates’ father, Clifton Gates, co-founded Gateway National Bank, the first black-owned bank in Missouri, in 1965, shortly after Mill Creek’s demise. Now the director of St. Louis’ Office of Financial Empowerment she said she still has people come up to her and recall how her father helped them get their first loan to start a business or buy a home “All of the co-founders of that bank were professional black businessmen … They saw the need investing in Gateway National Bank,” she said and I can’t imagine the obstacles and the setbacks they may have had along the way.” Gates added that she’s amazed at the “strength and the commitment” her father and others demonstrated in “making changes for us so that we can make better choices and we can live where we want to live and we can have businesses throughout the city wherever we want.” HSSU now sits on part of the land that was once Mill Creek Valley despite all that was lost in the demolition and the thousands of people who were scattered and relocated 60 years ago the developments that have cropped up in the decades since have in any way been “worth it.” “Mill Creek became sort of the poster child of how not to do urban renewal,” she said it was not well thought out and definitely not well done.” The Politically Speaking Hour makes government and politics understandable and accessible at this crucial point in history host Jason Rosenbaum will question elected officials and shine the spotlight on the issues that matter And we’ll empower your voice into the conversation about the future of our community and states The Politically Speaking Hour is sponsored by the Sue & Lynn Schneider Charitable Fund the trend of swapping vacant or industrial sites with multifamily housing is showing few signs of slowing down Mill Creek Residential, a national developer that’s erected upscale intown apartments from Decatur to Buckhead recently is barreling ahead with a 402-unit Peoplestown project that aims to capitalize on proximity to an unbuilt section of the Atlanta BeltLine and other attractions Thus the project’s official name: “Modera Southside Trail.” Vacant buildings on the 11.4-acre site at 99 University Avenue had previously been used for truck repair and a fueling station. Demolition began in recent weeks The property also borders the site where 27-year-old Rashard Brooks was fatally shot during an altercation with Atlanta police in June 2020 The drive-through restaurant was set ablaze by protestors and demolished the following month and dotted with graffiti tributes to Brooks says construction on Modera Southside Trail’s 402 apartments will begin in earnest in March The first units are scheduled to open for tenants in the fourth quarter of 2024 Carson says 15 percent of Modera Southside Trail apartments—or 61 homes—will be reserved as affordable housing at 80 percent of the area’s median income Previous working titles for the project were “Modera Beltline” and “Modera SoDo.” Also in the immediate area, plans for an adaptive-reuse food hall and office project in Peoplestown came to light in November The BeltLine section in question—the Southside Trail’s Segments 2 and 3—is tied to federal funding and the federal-level construction process it’s not expected to be bid for construction until September which means it likely won’t open as a finished pathway for several more years though it remains a popular recreation option in its interim state.  Twitter / Facebook  • Pics: Housing mushrooms at BeltLine intersection, years before trail exists (Urbanize Atlanta)  This website is using a security service to protect itself from online attacks The action you just performed triggered the security solution There are several actions that could trigger this block including submitting a certain word or phrase You can email the site owner to let them know you were blocked Please include what you were doing when this page came up and the Cloudflare Ray ID found at the bottom of this page © 2025 Advance Local Media LLC.

The plan and proposed zoning changes seem to enjoy significant public support from the suburban-style Brickyard Plaza shopping center left out of the new master plan because it resides in Salt Lake City Millcreek’s city center master plan covers the area from 3300 South to Elgin Ave (~3010 South) Running along a diagonal faultline from 3300 South to Miller Avenue (~3125 South) The space takes advantage of increased setbacks required of buildings abutting the fault In advocating for the transformation of the area “the city made a promise to residents,” Francis Lilly Residents “wanted a place to call their own,” and the public open space at the heart of the city center is meant to take advantage of the area’s “unique urban form.” Highland Drive has the potential to create triangular blocks that will add character to the project The plan’s street typology includes boulevards (Highland Drive neighborhood streets (east-west connectors between Highland and 1300 E.) meant to appeal to pedestrians and bicyclists The plan asserts that “walkability is core to the notion of a city center.” Building parking garages is seen as a way to allow people to park once and enjoy the rest of their experience on foot.  the long-range plan from the Wasatch Front Regional Council (WFRC) advocates for population growth to be accommodated by mid- and high-density housing in suburban town centers.  only six municipalities along the Wasatch Front – North Salt Lake and Millcreek – have town center plans completed or in process Millcreek has moved with alacrity since its incorporation as a city in late 2016 Their downtown plan is adopted and a zoning overlay is ready for legislative consideration The city has activated a Community Redevelopment Area (CRA) south of 3300 South in the city center’s “Market Place” southern zone This district includes the Home Depot on Highland and extends west along 3300 South There is also an Opportunity Zone extending north of 3300 South Planning + Zoning Director Lilly notes that the city has $20 million in bond proceeds for open space to work with and negotiating with developers (Lilly mentioned Cottonwood Residential and PEG Development).  Lilly has been successful so far in convincing property owners eager to develop to wait for the new plan and zoning changes Much of Millcreek city center’s western edge is in the shadow of Brickyard Plaza With 320,000 SF of sales-tax-generating retail space Brickyard was annexed by Salt Lake City in 1979 Included in Salt Lake City’s Sugar House Master Plan Brickyard’s future is “to provide a mixture of land uses that support a pedestrian orientation and transit.” Despite a recent flap over Millcreek’s desire to annex Brickyard for itself the cities’ planning directors both say that staff are having constructive conversations about Brickyard’s future Brickyard Plaza seems successful enough to resist redevelopment for some time the mall is adjacent to a Harmons Grocery that sees heavy use from the community.  The irony of the continued vitality of Brickyard – with its copious front-of-store free parking – is that it will continue to draw droves of people in cars to an area Millcreek City wants to be walkable Note: This post has been corrected to add two municipalities along the Wasatch Front which have completed a town center plan or have one in process The office apocalypse is fully upon us yet the sparks of a nascent phoenix may be popping.  While overall vacancy continues to hover well above..

To commemorate the occasion, several area historians, artists, archivists, landscape experts and others have pulled together a wide range of events Among those speaking about the flood will be Eric Weber historical commission member and de facto Williamsburg historian since moving to town 40 years ago such as Onslow Spelman’s button factory and Joel Hayden’s brass works had sprung up along the Mill River in the 19th century but the stream flow was often insufficient to power their mill wheels What they needed was a dam to hold back the water during the spring then release it in a controlled way during summer and fall Spelman and several other mill owners downstream formed the Williamsburg Reservoir Co in 1865 and got to work on damming the East Branch of the Mill River a few miles up Ashfield Road from Williamsburg The spot was chosen because it offered a steep-sided valley with a large watershed maximizing the volume of water the reservoir could hold The dam consisted of a “theoretically impermeable wall of unquarried field stone Earthen embankments were piled on both sides But the stone wall was built on gravel because the builders wanted to save on the cost of digging 6 feet down to bedrock according to Elizabeth Sharpe’s “In the Shadow of the Dam.” because of the freeze-thaw effect on the mortar It was a “back-of-the-envelope design” by an engineer whose only experience involved working on a railroad spur “It leaked in small ways right from the start,” Weber said the engineers concluded that the persistent leaks weren’t a problem because the channels wouldn’t grow any larger The 600-foot-long dam rose 43 feet above the original streambed It impounded a reservoir a mile long and a third of a mile wide There’s clear evidence that the mill owners wanted to save money Rejecting an all-stone design costing $125,000 the company settled on one that cost $30,000 there was local concern about the dam’s safety When the reservoir company called for county commissioners to inspect the dam in 1867 The company then spent up to $10,000 on improvements a former lieutenant governor of Massachusetts and the wealthiest and most influential mill owner He prevailed on the others not to allow the reservoir to reach full capacity which he believed would put too much stress on the dam the spring of 1874 was very wet — and the reservoir filled to the top The 16-inch outlet pipe with the control valve was supposed to have been an 18-inch pipe but that alone is unlikely to have made the difference the dam’s gatekeeper and an employee of Spelman’s lived in a cabin overlooking the reservoir with his wife his father saw a large section of the dam’s earthwork moving out into the stream and alerted his son who immediately jumped on his horse and rode the three miles to town It wasn’t the first time Cheney had raised the alarm he had to waste several minutes convincing the mill owner that the dam really was about to burst Spelman then sent him over to the livery — now Cichy’s Garage — to get a fresh horse who quickly took off to spread the news downstream who was on his way to visit Henry Birmingham the superintendent of Henry James’ woolen mill where the Williamsburg Hardware store now stands Day turned around and rode back to warn people at the Silk Mill in Leeds and George Warner’s button factory “Cheney’s mother said it looked like the dam lifted up from the bottom,” Weber said Eyewitness Eugene Davis in Williamsburg saw a wave 20 to 30 feet high trees and trash was rolling rapidly towards me,” he wrote “I have tried many times to describe how this appeared; perhaps the best simile is that of hay rolling over and over as a hayrake moves along the field and the spears of grass in the hayrake enlarged to limbs and trunks of trees mixed with boards and timbers; at this time I saw no water.” The first lives claimed were those of Sarah Collyer Bartlett and her 3-year-old daughter Cheney and the other riders’ warnings were mostly given at factories In the half-mile from the two bridges in Williamsburg the flood killed 57 people and demolished two dozen houses Some would have had to cross the river to get to higher ground and some who heeded the alert went the wrong way Henry Birmingham ran west toward his house; the house came to meet him Civil War surgeon Elbridge Johnson’s home was in the center of the flood which demolished the house and took the lives of Johnson and his family of six a village that was lost to the flood and never rebuilt William Skinner’s silk mill was destroyed but all the workers had enough time to reach safety Skinner’s house was flooded to the first-floor ceiling but it was massive enough to survive largely intact Skinner had the house moved to Holyoke; it’s now the Wistariahurst Museum where it grew to become the largest silk mill under one roof in North America tobacco factory and cotton mill — were filled with hundreds of workers reducing the three-story brick building to a fragment of its 600-foot length The factory’s 5-ton boiler washed into Hayden’s front yard the Haydenville Church that day was decorated with flowers and black banners for Joel Hayden’s memorial service people used the church vestry to lay out flood victims who had turned his horse around to warn people in Leeds and George Warner’s button factory in time to allow all but a few to escape leaving only three houses standing on their original sites and killing 51 people worker Fred Howard detailed his experience of the flood in letters to his brother Writing of “a scene that can never be described and I hope I may never see again,” he continued: “The whole valley was a wild torrent filled with men the former waving their hands and crying for help until some timber struck them and either killed them outright or pushed them under and drowned them.” Warnings telegraphed to Florence prevented any further deaths but the slow-moving sea of debris still took out bridges and damaged factories Volunteers came in the hours and days following the flood to recover them Davis writes that the bodies were taken to a carpenter’s shop on North Main Street and laid out in two rows and many were the heart-rending scenes as the bereaved ones recognized companions friends or relatives in that silent company.” when church services were canceled in favor of relief parties 42 bodies had been found on the Florence meadows In an effort to determine who should be accountable for such a great disaster “The inquest concluded that there were so many to blame The inquest chose one victim at random — a John Atkinson — to determine what caused his death the contractors who had cut corners and who had no relevant experience the engineers who designed the dam and failed to oversee its construction and the “delinquent legislation” that chartered the reservoir company without a guarantee of safety for life and property who “distinguished himself at the inquest by being a driveling fool,” Weber said “I think he was an embarrassment to everyone involved.” and a group of them under William Skinner organized a relief fund to help people who had lost their family homes Some received a trunk full of clothes and money with which they could get out of town and start a new life elsewhere took charge of his father’s business and determined to rebuild the brass works Hayden kept the entire workforce on the payroll searching downstream for everything they could salvage wooden mock-ups used to make the molds that brass fixtures — growing in importance in the new age of indoor plumbing — were cast in the Mill River Flood became national and even international news carried a “story of the Mill River Flood and the singular conduct of a hen that was out in it,” as told by the Rev “She had laid seventeen eggs in a barrel when the mill-dam broke her barrel was drifted safely upon the bank the stedfast hen persisted in sitting until her seventeen chickens made their way into the world Beecher told the story in illustration of the perseverance of the saints.” The heroes who warned so many of the impending flood would be long remembered who was known as the principal hero because he saved the greatest number of lives including John Boyle O’Reilly’s “The Ride of Collins Graves,” which the Holyoke Transcript-Telegram reprinted in full when Graves died at 69 in 1910 you
