Online Survey
119 people responded to the Riverside Park and East City Bowl Rejuvenation Survey. The survey showed 74 people would drive to the park, 60 would walk/run and 38 would bike. The survey showed a strong support for more tree planting, shade structure and lighting being high priority items. Respondents were able to provide additional comment at the end of the survey, 59 people chose to leave an additional comment that included comments on how much the existing elements of the park and its location and charm are essential to the community, concerns of maintenance of the ball diamonds, the need for upgrades to the lighting and comments about the need for increased security. Comments have been summarized and posted on the project webpage. The concerns noted will be reviewed and addressed by the project team through the design process as the project progresses.
