Salt Lake City Emerald Ribbon Action Plan




Client: Salt Lake City, Utah Department of Public Lands
Date: 2023-2025
Role: Project Manager, Senior Urban Planner
Location: Salt Lake City, Utah

The Emerald Ribbon Action Plan is an ambitious vision for the future of the 10-mile Jordan River corridor on the city’s Westside. The plan sets out a vision for the $12.5 million in voter-approved bond funding dedicated to the Jordan River for the next ten years.

At the core of the vision for the Emerald Ribbon is the idea that if we sustain nature, nature will sustain us, fostering a system of care that can span generations. This framework evolved from the community’s repeated desire to see a more comprehensive approach to care on the Jordan River corridor. The interwoven concepts of Nature, Culture, and Care serve as the underlying approach to the Action Plan.
