Canyon Construction, Cox vs. EPA, and Bad Parking Jobs

Spring in our canyons brings mountain bikers, dog walkers, and heavy machinery together.

Plus, air quality is a top-10 issue for Utahns, so why would Gov. Spencer Cox sign a letter asking the Environmental Protection Agency to back off? Start your week with our SLC news roundup and some local shoutouts.
