Riverside Plaza

This project works to transform the impermeable concrete landscape and improve outdoor livability at Riverside Plaza through participatory landscape design, installation, and care focused on stormwater management and urban habitat. This resident-centered design project was conducted in partnership with the Riverside Plaza Tenant Association (RPTA) and property managers. Since the start of planning in 2018, we have been working with 15 project stewards who are leading the engagement of their neighbors. The first raingarden on site was installed in 2019 with help from nearly 50 residents, staff, and community volunteers. Additional raingardens and a Riverside Plaza park are planned.
