The Iowa City City Council will continue a discussion on the future of downtown as well as Riverfront Crossings District at a work session May 2.

Councilors will look into further plans for downtown and address concerns such as increased student housing, a more diverse downtown, parking, and ways for more non-housing space.

Officials said the area has a lot of growing potential and with it a growth in the property-tax rate.
