River, farmland key issues

From the Janesville Gazette

Key issues that surfaced include:

-- The Rock River.

The city has a tremendous asset in the Rock River, and much more can be done to embrace that asset, Jensen said.

Residents talked about infill development and redevelopment; a river walkway; better recreational opportunities, and orienting development toward the river rather than away from it. The quality of the river needs to be protected, they said, and the future of the dams and the parking structure over the river should be considered.
