NEW BUSINESS: The Riverwalk Development Guidelines, originally called the Riverwalk Master Plan, were written to help plan for future projects for the Naperville Riverwalk. The development of the north shoreline between Main Street and Washington Street had been one of the projects in the Development Guidelines. Hitchcock proposed that the Riverwalk Commission explore the opportunity to piggyback the development of the northside of the river City of Naperville Page 2 Printed on 2/12/2019 Riverwalk Planning, Design and Meeting Minutes December 4, 2018 Construction Committee with the rebuilding of the Washington Street Bridge. He suggested that this may be a window of opportunity to improve pedestrian flow, beautify the shoreline and solve an issue with the ingress/egress behind the Lantern. Following the interesting north shoreline discussion, the conversation switched to how future projects could be funded. Another suggestion was that the Riverwalk Commission may want to consider developing both broad scale and smaller scale projects along with a list of components for those projects to be available when prospective donors inquire about how to have an impact on the Riverwalk.
