A pending property sale that would see O'Brien Steel acquire land near the Illinois River from the Detweiller Trust has drawn scrutiny from community members over the potential loss of river access and green space.

Last week, the Peoria Park District Board narrowly voted down a proposal tied to the sale that would expanded the right-of-way along the Rock Island Greenway Trail in the area. 

Another potential aspect of the sale would see the City of Peoria vacate Caroline Street near the Detweiller Marina.

As part of our regular interview series, Peoria City Manager Patrick Urich talks with reporter Joe Deacon about the city's possible involvement in the process.
