Project Overview: What You Need to Know
The proposed “River Walk” development project would expand Riverbank’s city limits by annexing over 1,500 acres of primarily agricultural and riparian land. This large-scale rezoning initiative would convert prime farmland and protected green space into a mix of residential, commercial, and recreational uses — all without clear plans to mitigate the impacts on infrastructure, traffic, water supply, or the local environment.
This section provides in-depth information, maps, and documentation about the River Walk proposal, including how it conflicts with the city’s existing General Plan, threatens sensitive habitats near the Stanislaus River, and risks long-term financial burdens for taxpayers.
Our goal is to equip you with the facts — so you can take informed action, spread awareness, and stand up for sustainable, transparent growth planning in our community.
