The City Council received an update Tuesday on a two-year feasibility study proposing to transform 250 acres of underutilized parkland along the Santa Ana River into a “vibrant public realm”—building on a vision first conceived more than 20 years ago to “put the river back in Riverside.” … The California State Coastal Conservancy supported the feasibility study, conducted by Economic Consultants Oregon, Ltd. under a $199,335 contract Council approved in October 2023. The draft study is now available online for public comment before finalization.
