This guide explains what each of the Riverwoods Pioneers sections are for and how they work.

Proposals

In the citizen proposals section you can make proposals for the City Council to carry them out. The proposals require support, and if they reach sufficient support, they are put to a public vote. The proposals approved in these citizens' votes are accepted by the City Council and carried out.
