Mayor highlights new Viaduct Trail and 'Strut' public art, invites community bike ride
Summary
Salt Lake City's mayor opened a ceremony for the Viaduct Trail and unveiled 'Strut,' a nearly 2,000-foot public art installation designed to improve safety and neighborhood connection; the mayor invited residents to a 5:30 p.m. celebratory bike ride at Neighborhood House.
The mayor opened the event to mark completion of the Viaduct Trail and the public art installation 'Strut,' saying the project transforms a previously six-lane, high-speed viaduct into a safer route for people walking and biking. The mayor said the trail is now protected by a tall concrete barrier and that the art installation "represents the longest continuous public art in the state of Utah," extending nearly 2,000 feet and changing how people experience the corridor.
The mayor described the project as part of an effort to build equity into infrastructure so residents across the city can travel safely to downtown and major destinations. She invited the public to a 5:30 p.m. tacos-and-bike-ride celebration at Neighborhood House and turned the program over to Tammy Hunsaker, the city's director of community and neighborhoods, and the artists behind 'Strut' for detailed remarks and a ribbon cutting.
