RECAP of Riverside Streetscape Master Plan Open Houses
On September 19 and 21 the Riverside BIA hosted two Public Open Houses to present the Streetscape Master Plan and hear the community’s thoughts:
We had a great crowd come out to the Riverside BIA office to view the proposed projects and speak to the project consultants PLANT Architect Inc. We heard a lot of positive feedback and interesting questions and appreciated those who took the time to come out and share their feedback.
We look forward to sharing the final Riverside BIA Streetscape Master Plan with BIA members and the community this fall.
