expressed concern regarding the state of the small quarry. They
believe the shoreline has become overgrown and the water is stagnant
causing issues with mosquitos and bats. The discussion regarding
maintenance will continue at the next PDC meeting. All parties will
search for documents that might clarify who is responsible for what
maintenance.
3. Moser Tower Assessment - Brian Dusak for Bill Novack
Dusak reported that ERA’s subcontractor has completed the crack
mapping. ERA is waiting for the results of the crack mapping and structural
modeling before incorporating that information into their update. He hopes
to submit an updated report in September.
4. Development Guidelines - Pat Kennedy
The Development Guidelines are projects that the Riverwalk Commission
has identified that would enhance the linear park in the future. The list
should be viewed as potential projects that could be done when funding is
available.
It was suggested that the list should be organized to help future donors
identify projects that the Riverwalk Commission deemed appropriate. The
projects will be separated into different “buckets” based on project cost.
Kennedy suggested that one bucket could be projects with an estimated
cost of over $1 million, one bucket could be projects between $1 million
and $50,000 and the other bucket could be projects under $50,000. Eight
larger projects were identified as possibilities. They are the Moser
Tower/Carillon, 430 S. Washington Street, the Eagle Street Gateway
(Cheryl Hoyer Plaza), the South Extension from Hillside Road to Martin
Avenue, the redevelopment of the north shore of the DuPage River from
Main Street to Washington Street, the redevelopment of the south shore of
the DuPage River from Main Street to Washington Street, the development
of a bicycle path from Washington Street to Hillside Road and the
reimagining of the Grand Pavilion/west extension parking lot.
To help the process, a template for a one-page information sheet was
distributed. The Eagle Street Gateway project was selected to use as an
example of what information would be included under each heading. An
information sheet will be completed for each project which will help
determine next steps for each project.
Tentatively, the eight sheets will be completed by the end of October and
presented to the Riverwalk Commission at the November meeting for
approval.

NEW BUSINESS:
Little Friends Request - Geoff Roehll
Roehll received a letter from Little Friends requesting that the Riverwalk
Commission accept the donation of the Kroehler Mansion to be placed
somewhere on the Riverwalk. The cost to move the mansion would be the
responsibility of the Riverwalk Commission. Members of the PDC
recommended that the request be denied. The recommendation will be
taken to the full Riverwalk Commission for consideration at the August 14,
2019 meeting.
