Riverwalk Planning, Design and Construction Committee · September 1, 2026

Two Riverwalk expansion projects are on the table Tuesday, and the committee gets to weigh in on both of them before anything moves forward.

Short meeting, but not a nothing meeting.

🔦 The 3 items worth your attention

The North Central College Riverwalk Park gets a dedicated status update from Andy Hynes (D-1). No dollar figures attached to this one, it’s a progress report, not a contract action. Still worth watching if you’re curious how far along that stretch of trail actually is.

The Riverwalk South Extension and Hillside Gateway projects come up together for committee feedback (E-2). This isn’t a final decision; it’s a chance for members to redirect staff before things get further down the road. Two active construction projects, one conversation, and the outcome shapes what comes next for the southern end of the Riverwalk corridor.

Annual asset management follow-up rounds out the substantive discussion (E-3). During the yearly walk-through of park and infrastructure assets, staff flagged items that need attention, maintenance gaps, capital planning questions, and Tuesday is when the committee digs into what to do about them.
