Lewiston gets ‘aspirational’ as it updates riverfront island master plan

SUN JOURNAL • January 12, 2023

As the city updates its Riverfront Island Master Plan, it’s getting ambitious as it asks for public feedback on how to upgrade the riverwalk trail, Simard-Payne Memorial Park, the canal system and more. The update, led by consultants Halvorson Tighe & Bond, is also forming recommendations for in-fill development and zoning changes that could usher in more residential units. Much of the plan also looks at bicycle and pedestrian connections between the riverfront areas, removing barriers of access to Simard-Payne park and the canals.
