I doubt, although hopefully I'm wrong, that people who signed up for a gated off world will allow the Riverwalk to extend through their property. So I fear you are right with this Planner.

Now I wonder if there's any chance what so ever that the Riverwalk extends farther west to the Ambassador Bridge and to the parks on the other side of it. I know that the railroad has tracks in place there that are still in use. Plus, you know, that whole Matty M guys bridge thing is in the way and I hardly doubt he's let the city use that land without some sort of kickback. Who knows though.
