The last time I visited Riverview Park was a little over a year ago and I didn't stay very long as there was really nothing to do. It is peaceful along the Ohio River there and could stand to benefit from improved views and access. The boating and playground improvements in the first phase should really help to demonstrate what's in store for the park. In terms of development around the park, I agree property values will likely increase and development could start to take off. Hopefully the area will grow into a sustainable and walkable neighborhood, perhaps with a small sort of mixed-use town center. We'll see what happens as this one is long-term.

This proposal will boost property values and maybe even cause some more commercial development along the cane run rd cooridor, Most probably dont realize that you can get the best seafood in town, no more than a mile down the rd at Mike Linnigs...

I agree, nothing earthshattering about the design, but it is well done and thoughtful. All it needs is an elevated highway over the top of it and it'd be just as good as Waterfront Park Thanks again for the article.
