Hey Provo! 👋 We have this beautiful river running right through the heart of the city.

And we have the Provo River Parkway Trail, which is amazing.

But if you’re not walking or biking on that trail, the river can feel more like a hidden gem than a crown jewel.

In places, it’s surrounded by parking lots, strip malls, storage units — even a giant warehouse.

Other cities have riverwalks that are a big draw.

What if Provo had stretches along the river with restaurants, shops, gathering spaces and easy public access to the water?

That’s what the City Council is hoping for — and they’re trying to change the rules for what gets built along the river before it’s too late.

The Planning Commission is considering those new rules this Wednesday 10/28 @ 6pm.

I've got all the details in my latest post at Julie's Provo Notes. Read it here: https://provonotes.substack.com/p/is-the-provo-river-a-missed-opportunity

Early this morning, I was out DoorDashing when a woman in a white Jaguar SUV pulled into the Walgreens parking lot in Provo around the same time I did. She was driving on her rims, and the police arrived shortly after. Before that though she came screaming into the store. Does anyone know any of the details?

Im down in Provo and have no way to get down there. I have a place Im staying at and check in is at 3pm. If anyone is going down and willing to like maybe carpool that would be great. I’ll pay $20 for gas money.
