The future of the Jordan River Corridor

The Emerald Ribbon is our shared vision for the future of the Jordan River Corridor. We envision a future Emerald Ribbon that is healthy, thriving, and meets all the needs and desires of the community.

The March public comment survey closed on April 7, 2024. Thank you to everyone who submitted feedback! Stay tuned for the next round of community workshops in June 2024.

Thank you for sharing your feedback!

In March 2024, we shared three design concepts for the future of the Emerald Ribbon and heard from over 800 Salt Lake City residents about what they liked and didn’t like in each design. We are now transforming your ideas into a shared vision for the future.
