Green Leadership Summit - One month ago today, the City of Riverside held its first ever Green Leadership Summit. This event brought together a diverse group of community members, each ready to take action in order to escalate sustainability efforts in Riverside. The purpose of the Summit was to start a discussion--one that would not only alert participants to the ideas, strategies, and efforts of others within the community, but also establish a foundation on which to build. - Riverside is working to keep the lines of communication open between community members interested in moving forward with new sustainability plans and activities. Notes and statistics gathered from the Summit are available to help you reconnect with the ideas and suggestions offered by participants. All of this information can also be found online at http://www.greenriverside.com/About-Green-Riverside-4/Community-Collaboration-363

Crosswalk Enforcement Results in 38 Citations Issued

The increase in traffic safety is an integral part of the department’s strategic plan.  An ongoing effort, to further this goal, is the deployment of plainclothes officers using various crosswalks and citing those drivers who violate the pedestrian right of way. 

On March 7, 2012, in a combined effort, officers assigned to the North Neighborhood Policing Center and the Traffic Bureau conducted an enforcement action along Market Street.  In a two hour operation, thirty-eight citations were issued for 21950a CVC (Right of Way at Crosswalks). 

Drivers are reminded to yield to all pedestrians in a designated crosswalk.
