After more than a year of disruption and delay because of the pandemic, new questions are being asked about the future of Wichita’s riverfront. Public projects on the riverfront have had some success over the years, such as Exploration Place and the Keeper of the Plains. But the centerpiece of Wichita’s riverfront, the area that stretches from Douglas to Kellogg along the east bank of the Arkansas River, has been the subject of redevelopment plans for decades that have had mixed results. Pieces of some of those plans — such as the Hyatt Regency, the Boathouse, WaterWalk Place and the Fairfield Inn — were successes. Some died on the City Hall drawing board while others were implemented and failed.
