The Riverwalk Commission is in the process of modifying the Development
Guidelines and changing the name to the Riverwalk Master Plan. This
document will include large and small projects that will guide the
development of the Riverwalk in future years. These projects will happen
over time as the need and funding are available.
Commissioners and others visited sites that are being considered as
possible projects and enhancement opportunities. Some of these include
the South Extension from Hillside Road to Martin Avenue, a bike lane from
Hillside Road to Fredenhagen Park, 430 S. Washington Street, the pavilion
