'Let’s try some new and innovative solutions to engage residents with their local government,' write Ogden city mayoral candidate Taylor Knuth, and Ogden City Council member Angela Choberka. 'Doing so is a benefit to our entire city.'
The Ogden Arts Festival at to the historic Union Station, June of 2019.Eva Barnett is a long-time resident of Ogden’s East Central neighborhood. In her years of living just a block away from Lester Park, she has been a regular visitor to this park, often taking her kids to play on the now dilapidated playground or frequent the adjacent Weber County Library.
Ultimately, Eva aims to transform Lester Park into a safer, inviting gathering space that welcomes people of all ages, incomes, and backgrounds in an overarching effort to improve individual and community health and well-being year-round. In Eva’s story, we can begin to understand the importance of grassroots, resident and community-led, coalition building to improve the vibrancy and vitality of our city’s public spaces and places. This invaluable work was catalyzed by her action as a community leader, sponsored by Ogden Civic Action Network’s larger effort to empower residents to enable change; block by block and neighborhood by neighborhood throughout Ogden City’s East Central area.
But residents like Eva don’t necessarily need a formal position or permission to engage in issues important to them. In fact, over the years, several grassroots coalitions to address critical civic issues in Ogden have emerged outside and apart from the City’s formal structures.
