#RootsTech 2016 links to Information about the Salt Palace and Salt Lake Parking and more

There seem to be a few questions about the layout of the Salt Palace and parking in downtown Salt Lake City, Utah for #RootsTech 2016. Here are some links to maps and directions and points of interest that might help. I might also note that as I am writing this post it is raining and it will soon turn to snow.

The Salt Palace is right across the street from the West Entrance to the City Creek Shopping area, really more than a mall. Here are some links about City Creek.

That should help everyone who comes to Salt Lake and is not too familiar with the area.
