The event will explore the city’s approach to housing affordability, including ongoing development projects and the challenges many residents face in securing accessible housing. It will also address transportation in Riverside, highlighting current public transit options such as RTA and Metrolink, and discussing potential improvements for commuting. Given that UC Riverside has a large commuter population, the event will focus on how these issues directly impact students and the broader community, while encouraging conversation about future solutions. The event will also include a Q&A session, providing attendees with the opportunity to ask questions directly to the mayor.
