Four key “catalyst sites” — including a 30-acre city-owned parcel near light rail — will feature businesses, community spaces, and pedestrian plazas, shaped by resident input like farmers markets and trails.

The plan heads to the Planning Commission next month, poised to redefine the river as a dynamic urban centerpiece.
