Why Is the Jordan River So Much Nicer in the Suburbs?

City Cast Salt Lake

The Jordan River Trail has a bad reputation in Salt Lake City, but in the suburbs it’s an oasis for recreation. Salt Lake Tribune Westside reporter Jose Davila IV joins executive producer Emily Means to talk about how the river serves as a refuge for residents and what it would take to align SLC’s experience with the rest of Salt Lake County.

Read the second story in Jose’s reporting series, and listen to our previous episode on the current state of the trail in Salt Lake City.
