During the recent Riverbank City Council meeting held on May 28, 2024, key discussions highlighted community events and ongoing infrastructure developments that are shaping the local landscape.

One of the most notable announcements was the upcoming final Food Truck Friday event scheduled for May 31 at the Riverbank Sports Complex. This popular community gathering will take place from 5 PM to 8 PM, providing residents with an opportunity to enjoy local cuisine and connect with neighbors. The Mayor expressed gratitude to residents for their patience amid ongoing construction on Oakdale and Claribel Roads, which is part of the preparations for the grand opening of a new Costco store. This development is expected to enhance shopping options for residents and potentially boost local economic activity.

In addition to the event announcements, the Mayor encouraged residents to stay informed about traffic conditions related to the construction. The city has implemented a notification system where residents can register for email or text alerts regarding traffic control updates. This initiative aims to keep the community informed and minimize disruptions during the construction period.

Councilmember Hernandez also shared his recent experiences attending graduations at the Riverbank Language Academy and Riverbank High School, emphasizing the importance of community engagement and support for local educational institutions.

Overall, the meeting underscored the City Council's commitment to fostering community spirit while managing significant infrastructure changes. As the city prepares for the new Costco and continues to host community events, residents can expect both challenges and opportunities in the coming months.
