Ogden, UTAH – According to the city officials, the Park Strip Lawn Conversion program is designed to conserve water while enhancing the landscaped area between the curb and sidewalk, commonly known as the park strip. This program is offered to Ogden City homeowners of single-family properties. The incentive will apply to the entire landscaped length of the park strip up to 8 feet in depth. Successful applicants could receive up to $2.50 per square foot of converted water-efficient landscaping within the park strip.   More information here.

The Ogden Canyon Bridges Project, which began in the spring of 2019, restored two bridges in the upper and lower canyons and replaced the mid-canyon bridge. For a better driving experience, the project improved drainage, enlarged shoulders, increased lifespan, and smoothed surfaces. The canyon road is now open in both directions, however some minor work on the lower canyon bridge remains. Continue to drive cautiously into the canyon, being attentive, focused, calm, sober, and buckled.
