Council Priorities
Each fiscal year, Riverside’s seven-member City Council develops a citywide strategic plan. The strategic plan relates to the General Plan and is helpful in aligning City leadership goals with community goals. In essence, the five strategic goals are to serve as the City’s roadmap and clearly outline where the City is going and how it will get there. This year Council’s five key focus areas are:

• Economic Development and Redevelopment
• Growth and Annexation
• Neighborhoods
• Livable Communities
• Transportation

Riverside's Three Directions program outlines goals and strategies to help the city achieve measurable progress in the areas of Economic Development, Quality of Life, and Inclusiveness with tasks assigned to individuals and organizations to ensure action and accountability.
