David Troester - Urban Treehouse

Proposed removing the Urban Treehouse at Bend in the River due to increased vagrant activity. Apparently Salt Lake City Open Lands and Parks are in favor but also have some ideas for the space. Some people spoke about the significant community investment in the early years of the project. A vote was not held on the proposal because input is needed from University of Utah Bennion Center / University Neighborhood Partners.
