Proposed Riverwalk Park

The Standard Examiner reported this morning that the city is floating the idea of creating a new city park on the north side of the Ogden River between Lincoln Ave. and Grant Ave..  The proposed location is currently gas pipeline right of way, boarded up housing, and a couple existing homes in use.  Apparently, the creation of the park would involve land being gifted from the current owner to the city as compensation for the owner not tearing down boarded up existing homes on many of his other properties. 

Here is a map of the proposed park:

It if happens it could help lift the surrounding neighborhood.
