Why We Plan

A plan is a proactive effort to create a vision for a future outcome linked with specific steps to help achieve that outcome. Planning is an important process for making decisions for areas of all shapes and sizes ranging from the most focused transportation projects to entire cities and regions. They are most impactful when they thoughtfully consider the uniqueness of the physical place and meaningfully engage community members, stakeholders, and agency partners in the process. For an area as large and complex as Riverbanks, the Reaching Riverbanks: Community Mobility Plan is an invaluable tool for making intentional decisions about transportation and land use policies and projects that, when combined, create a physical place rich in experience and full of options for the way community members, present and future, live their everyday lives.

About this Plan

The Riverbanks area of northwest Columbia is looking to the future to be better prepared for new growth and development. The goal of the Reaching Riverbanks: Community Mobility Plan is to prepare the area’s infrastructure, chiefly its transportation systems, and land use policies to direct this growth in a way that benefits existing and future residents. These transportation and land use decisions have been guided by a visionary planning process that began with understanding the people and places that comprise Riverbanks today and then worked with community members to create a vision for the place Riverbanks should become. The resulting plan proposes a new framework for community mobility built upon establishing new relationships with the area’s riverfront, surrounding neighborhoods, and Downtown Columbia.
