SALT LAKE CITY â Salt Lake City leaders hope to combat crime plaguing the North Temple corridor with a new team of friendly faces.
On Tuesday, Mayor Erin Mendenhall announced the move after the usual solutions failed to improve the struggling neighborhood west of downtown. It gets frustrating,â said resident Steven Rivera.
Living off North Temple, Rivera has witnessed crime, drug use and homeless camps getting worse.
âI feel bad for my kids because I wonât let them go outside. Thatâs what drives me nuts,â said Rivera.
