Master Plan presentation
Stephen Hardy and Rachel Wedel of BNIM Architects presented the proposed Master Plan for
the City of Riverside to the Park Board, especially as the Plan pertains to parks and recreation.
Hardy commented that in the ETC survey of Riverside residents, hiking trails ranked very high.
Miles explained that the City is working with the Army Corps of Engineers with 3 major
projects, 2 of which are trails: a pump station located in the Horizons Project, the Missouri
Riverfront Trail, and the Line Creek Trail. The Corps' review process takes a long time, which
explains the delay in starting the 2 trails. Miles further stated that he had contacted Platte County
Parks and Recreation to ask for an extension of our grant from them for landscaping the Line
Creek Trail. PCPR agreed to the extension.
Hardy pointed out that the City is in a good position to network with Metro Green. He
encouraged the City to work with MARC; there are grants available for cities for trails. Also,
Enhancement Funds, administered by Deparhnent of Transportation will be available this Spring.
Stormwater Management, Rain Gardens, and the Stream Corridor Setback Ordinance were also
discussed.
Mayor Rose asked about seeding and fertilizing the park areas.
Mayor Rose complimented the Park Board and Stephen Hardy, BNIM, for a job well done on the
Master Plan. She added that Line Creek Trail would be a top priority in the Spring.
The meeting continued as Mayor Rose, Brent Miles and Jane Henry left to participate in the
BOA regular session.
