SALT LAKE
CITY (AP) -- The landmarks at Trolley Square won't be
removed as the mall undergoes a massive renovation. But
the unique water tower and trolley car won't be staying
put either.
To make way for a planned Whole Foods grocery store those
landmarks will have to be moved. The water tower will
shift just a few feet to the south. But the trolley car
and the building that now houses Wells Fargo Bank will
move from the east to the west side of the complex.
Salt Lake City's Historic Landmark Commission is expected
to green-light the moves tomorrow.
It's good news for those closely watching the project.
During a series of open houses, residents raised objections
to any plan that ruined the mall's historic nature. Thomas
Mutter, former chairman of the Central City Neighborhood
Council, says he is pleased that Trolley's favorite fixtures
will be saved.
