Riverside Master Plan
Planning for the future

The primary goal of the Master Plan is to create a map of improvements for today and for the next twenty years that reflects the desires of citizens and business leaders. The Master Plan lays out strategies for preserving the core characteristics that make Riverside unique, while improving the portions that detract from the community's vision for a better future. Download the complete Master Plan, a 13MB Adobe Acrobat document. For users with slower internet connections, the Master Plan is also available from the Document Center (see upper right) as smaller, individual "chapters.

Every recommendation within the Master Plan came from the citizens of Riverside. There were, of course, differing opinions and life-perspectives on many issues, but even where there were disagreements the challenges often times lifted the dialogue to a more thorough evaluation. It is the intent of the Master Plan to synthesize the hundreds of pieces of good advice into a comprehensive strategy for governing Riverside in the coming years. Learn more about citizen involvement and the planning process.

The City of Riverside has tremendous potential. The outpouring of community support demonstrated throughout the master planning process makes this a very promising moment in the City's history. With proper consideration and guidance from City officials, Riverside can have more amenities, provide a greater variety of shopping choices, protect its natural resources, and build a community that is proud of its character.

Slow Down in Neighborhoods
 
 

As summer approaches and more kids are outside, take a moment and check your speed in neighborhoods.  Most residential streets in Riverside are 20 or 25 mph and, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, driving just 10 mph over this speed limit triples the likelihood of a crash and increases the odds of a hit pedestrian dying by more than 400%.  Do your part to keep our community safe by slowing down in neighborhoods and being aware of pedestrian traffic.
