Design.The Redevelopment Agency of Salt Lake City and Seven Canyons Trust developed a community-based vision to uncover City Creek and add additional improvements along the Folsom Trail between 700 West and 1000 West. Here is the final design concept for the City Creek at Folsom Trail project, developed by CRSA, BIO-WEST, and Avenue Consultants.
The Context.
The Inspiration.
The design language is inspired by the corridor’s previous identity as the Folsom rail-line. Secondary paths, plazas, and plantings find their shape from the interchanges and switches in a rail yard, while paving accents, pavers, and seating draw from the stacked and linear boxes of train cars.
