Kankakee riverwalk design revealed
The East Riverwalk is the working name for the public riverfront improvement planned for the southeast corner of Schuyler Avenue and East River Street in downtown Kankakee. It is to be constructed on 1.06 acres along the north bank of the Kankakee River, which is primed to become the first public segment of The Currents of Kankakee, the new riverfront district first described in the 2018 Kankakee Riverfront Master Plan.
The meeting for East Riverwalk Preferred Concept revealed concept images of what the final project will look like, as well as what is included in an overall directory of the area. The preferred concept will include the following items: entry plaza, entry sign, streetscape improvements, restroom building, bike racks, landscape screen, pavilion, kayak/canoe landing, lower riverwalk/boat tie-up, barrier free riverfront access (walkway), terraced stone retaining wall, gateway feature, cantilevered outlook, memorial plaque, seat wall, ADA kayak/canoe launch, boathouse renovation, reconstructed archway, interpretive sign and stair access.
