New Riverfront Master Plan Web Site Launches
Residents Encouraged To Share Their Ideas for Riverfront
Plainfield, IL – The Village is working with Applied Ecological Services (AES) and Houseal Lavigne to develop a new master
plan for the Plainfield Riverfront from Route 59 to Renwick Road with particular emphasis on the Riverfront’s connection
to Downtown Plainfield.
Over the past few months, usage of the Riverfront and DuPage River has increased exponentially with residents looking
for new outdoor recreational opportunities. The pandemic has also reinforced the importance of open space to the
community and the need to improve the area around the DuPage River for residents and visitors to enjoy.
What would like to see at the Riverfront? Trails? A boat launch? Open space? Share your ideas for the Riverfront
through the new Master Plan web site, https://hla.fyi/PlainfieldRiverfrontMasterPlan:
• Tell us what you would like to see at the Riverfront by completing a brief online survey;
• Utilize the online mapping tool, map.social, to show what features and amenities you would like to see at the
Riverfront; or
• E-mail the project team your ideas.
The project site also includes information about the plan and the latest project news. Once the plan is complete, the
Village will pursue grant funding opportunities for projects along the Riverfront.
