NEXT RBCA MEETING: EleCTION FORUM OCT 22 @ 6:30 pm @ Liberty Baptist Church
Riviera Bay is a unique waterfront neighborhood with incredible natural beauty, strong community connections, and a shared responsibility to prepare for the challenges that come with living along the bay. Over the past several years, residents have been actively engaged in conversations around stormwater, infrastructure, coastal resilience, emergency preparedness, and long-term planning for our community’s future.
The Riviera Bay Civic Association continues to work alongside residents, city and county partners, and regional organizations to stay informed, share resources, and help our neighborhood understand the projects and decisions that impact us.
This page serves as a resource for updates on local resiliency efforts, including city planning initiatives, infrastructure projects, community programs, and opportunities for residents to stay involved.
Together, through education, preparation, and collaboration, we can continue building a Riviera Bay that is ready for the future.

Riviera Bay sits at the downstream end of both the Tinney Creek and Sawgrass Lake watersheds. These watersheds extend far beyond the boundaries of our neighborhood, carrying stormwater from surrounding areas through a larger interconnected drainage system before ultimately reaching Riviera Bay and Tampa Bay.
That means what happens upstream matters here. Rainfall, development, drainage conditions, debris and water quality throughout the watershed can all affect the water that reaches our community.
This flood mitigation pilot project is designed to help neighborhoods across the City of St. Petersburg become more resilient to flooding.
Through education and engagement, the project empowers residents to better understand their flood exposure and explore solutions tailored to their neighborhood’s unique needs.
The Tampa Bay Coastal Master Plan (TBCMP) enhances regional resilience by addressing flooding impacts through a coordinated, data-driven, and community-based planning process. Over the course of this four-year, grant-funded initiative, the TBCMP will identify flood-vulnerable communities, prioritize restoration and flood-reduction projects, and guide long-term adaptation strategies.
St. Pete Agile Resilience (SPAR) represents an accelerated approach to strengthening the city’s infrastructure, ensuring long-term resilience in the face of climate challenges. At its core, "AGILE" reflects the city's commitment to rapid action and adaptation.
