Help Salt Lake City Build an Exceptional Experience at Green Park
The Salt Lake City Public Lands Department has acquired a new piece of land and is planning to develop it into a park. The Public Lands Department has a range of park amenities it can offer for this project but due to limited budget, only a few can be included at this time. These amenities provide a diverse range of options that appeal to different user groups, supporting an inclusive and functional park design. Residents can rank them based on their preferences to align with community needs.
Please engage with us so that we can build a community centered park that serves all Salt Lake City residents for years to come!
Sustainability
The Public Lands Department is collaborating with the SLC Sustainability Department to ensure the location identified for Green Park is safe and sustainably developed. To do so, the Salt Lake City Sustainability Department plans to apply for an EPA grant to help fund the cleanup. This grant will require an open comment window of 45 days. The public comment box will need to be embedded on the page, separately from the survey.
To hear more about this grant, watch the video below:
Transportation and Safety
A section of the open space will be dedicated to a pedestrian and cycling path that will run alongside the park. The Salt Lake City Transportation Division will collaborate with the Public Lands Department on the public engagement and feedback portion of the project, as both teams gather input regarding the options the City is considering.
Due to recent auto/pedestrian injuries in a nearby intersection, the Transportation Division team will gather feedback on how safe residents feel traveling to the project site. Transportation Division staff hope they can determine hotspots where the public feels unsafe and implement traffic calming measures based on this data.
Sustainability EPA Grant Fund Comment
I appreciate that the City is prioritizing sustainability and safety. We need to put the kids first and this is a great step.
Will this money be used just for Green Park? What about some of the City's other parks that have maintenance needs or might need other improvements to attract residents?
I have some concerns about the potential disruption during the cleanup process and the long-term maintenance of the park. It’s important to ensure that the cleanup is conducted efficiently and with minimal impact on the surrounding neighborhoods. Additionally, there should be a clear plan for the ongoing upkeep of the park to prevent it from falling into disrepair.
Please collect air quality data at different locations in the park and make those readings available on the City's website so the public can understand and assess their personal comfort level with using the park on days with potential hazards
Will there be any public meetings in the evening for those of us that work during the day?
