Walking Tour: Ogden River Parkway & Ogden Riverbend Development
Join us for a walking tour of the Riverband Development in Ogden aka "What to do with the 10 acre block?"
Learn about the recent renewal and transformation of the Ogden River Parkway and see the Ogden Riverbend infill development project.
Ogden City’s early layout was based on the plat of Zion. Until recently that plan was both a blessing in traffic circulation and a curse in better utilization of land and connectivity. The tour will explore four sites that discuss the evolution of opening up the blocks, involving other partners and future concepts that will be used to even further the ability to improve connectivity while providing new housing options that are not isolated in the traditional block neighborhood.
