This addition, along with the movie theater, was part of an effort to create a family friendly environment in downtown Reno. By utilizing the space for recreation and music, the city aims to create a safe and pleasant area for families to enjoy all year round. \u00a0However, Reno\u2019s increasing struggle with poverty is still visible to the visitors of the riverwalk, as many of Reno\u2019s homeless prefer to talk shelter outside restaurants such as the Silver Peak Brewery. Many of the merchants, who are ironically involved with the beautification project, have complained about loitering outside their venues. These vendors need to realize that their goal of revitalizing the riverwalk includes aiding Reno\u2019s homeless community.<\/p>\n<p>If you continue along the right side of the river, you will be able to see the results of Reno\u2019s beautification program. The city, during the warmer months, decorates the railings above the river, as well as the two bridges that provide crossing in this area.
