History of the River
Chicagos phenomenal growth into a major
urban center is due, in large part, to its strategic
location on the Chicago River and Lake
Michigan. As early as the 1600s the river and
the lake were major trade routes. By the Citys
incorporation in 1837, the river had already been
established as a desirable location for industrial
development.
The first meat packing plant adjacent to the river
opened in 1829 and the first lumber mill in 1833.
These two industries were located just north
of Wolf Point at the confluence of the north
and south branches of the Chicago River. The
completion of the Illinois and Michigan Canal in
1848 linked Lake Michigan with the Mississippi
River, dramatically increasing river traffic. By
the 1860s, the river had become the focus of
industrial development with an emphasis on
meat packing and lumber.
In the citys early history the river was also
used as a sewage outlet. Waste flowed east
to Lake Michigan, the citys drinking water
source, resulting in frequent outbreaks of water-
borne diseases. In the 1890s, work began on
the Sanitary and Ship Canal to protect the
water supply and to provide greater shipping
capacity. The construction of the Canal and
its locks reversed the flow of the river, sending
pollution away from Lake Michigan and into the
Mississippi River system.
The Sanitary and Ship Canal also became
the main materials transportation artery,
replacing the obsolete Illinois and Michigan
Canal which was eventually filled in. Chicagos
industrial legacy will likely remain a strong
feature of development along the Chicago
River, particularly along the South Branch
and the Sanitary and Ship Canal. However,
public demand for access and recreational
amenities continues to grow, ensuring that
future development will include a diverse mix
of industrial, commercial, residential, and
recreational uses.
18
Riverwalk Infrastructure Plan
The Chicago Riverwalk extension (the Project) is
part of the larger Wacker Drive Reconstruction
Project. Wacker Drive is a multi-level major
thoroughfare through downtown Chicago (the
City) that runs adjacent to the Chicago River
from Lake Shore Drive to the Eisenhower
Expressway.
The Wacker Drive Reconstruction Project,
consists of 3 phases, East-West, North-
South, and the Riverwalk. The intention of the
Riverwalk Project was to complement the new
roadway and bring residents and visitors down
to the river level. Portions of the Riverwalk,
including East of Michigan were completed in
the 90s. The Vietnam Memorial was dedicated
in 2005.
The original Phase I portion of the Riverwalk
was completed in 2009 and runs west from
Michigan Avenue to the east side of the State
Street Bridge. This segment includes the
Vietnam Veterans Memorial as well as a limited
number of restaurants and vendors.
The Riverwalk Extension, known as Riverwalk
Phases II and III, is underway and is planned
for a six-block section of Lower Wacker Drive
along the southern bank of the Chicago River,
running west from State Street and curving
south to Lake Street. The project is envisioned
as an alternative pedestrian pathway that will
include recreational, educational, retail and
restaurant opportunities. Currently, there is not a
continuous walkway along the river.
Through Federal assistance by the
Transportation Infrastructure Finance
Innovation Act (TIFIA), the City has invested in
infrastructure build-out of the marine sea wall
and public amenities and seeks a commercial
development partner for the commercial
component of the Riverwalk.

Guiding Principles
The City of Chicago has defined four
guiding principles for the Chicago
Riverwalk:Access, Activation, Authenticity and
Sustainability.These themes are core to the
belief thatthis project is creatinga world-class
public waterfront reunitingcitizens withthe
river that gave Chicago life.
These principles will be woven into every
aspect of the completed Riverwalk. The
Principles should be considered and revisited
up to completion. And most importantly
throughout the Riverwalks life the principles
should carry as critical amenity to the residents
and visitors of Chicago.

Cities have historically been built along rivers because they were
indispensable resources for transportation and commerce. Chicago's
earliest settlement began along the Chicago River and it served as
Chicago's harbor until the early 20th century; it has always been a
social and economic hub.
While the Chicago River is still an important part of local and regional
industry, it is also Chicagos second coastline, connecting Chicagos
most recognizable landmarks and destinations. The Riverwalk project
will provide unprecedented access to the River, giving Chicagoans
and visitors a dynamic pathway to experience Chicago and connect to
the city's many cultural, natural, and commercial assets.
1. Bring people to the water
Maintain a continuous public walkway
Improve vertical circulation
Easy to locate and navigate
2. Establish connections
Promote as vibrant, active link to the lakefront and other Chicago
landmarks
Establish the Riverwalk as a connecting thread that runs through
the City
3. Access for everyone
ADA compliant
Improve perceived and actual safety
A neighborhood amenity for all to enjoy
Access
33
Photo cc Chris Oakley on Flickr
Making the River easier to access will have a
profound effect on the number of annual visitors.
Seasonal programming, unique gathering spaces to
host events, and leasable space for restaurants and
retail will bring activity and life to the River and will
bring a strong sense of place to an already historic
space.
1. Bring life to the River
Provide more seasonal public river uses
Ensure year round program and activity
Increase recreational and commercial boating
2. Create space for civic gathering & diverse events
Promote the space for groups and entertainment
functions
Invest in placemaking, creating unique places on
the river
3. Economic activation
Developing new opportunities along the Chicago
River
Improve commercial functions and maximize
leasable opportunities
Support commercial boating activity
Activation

34
The Chicago River has shaped the city and remains an important
part of the downtown urbanscape. It is important that the
Riverwalk work in harmony with the existing context of the
city. The River is authentic Chicago, it should not feel overly
manicured or scripted, but always retain a strong feeling of
nature, history, and community.
1. Weave the life of the River in the urban fabric of the City
Work in dialogue with existing urban context
Maintain a sense of unpredictability and encourage the
unexpected
2. Embrace the history of the River
Honor and showcase history
Celebrate the rivers uniqueness of its buildings, bridges,
bridge houses, skyscrapers, and architecture
3. Enhance community life
Outreach to residents of Downtown and River North
Utilize green and open spaces for fitness, wellness, and
educational programming
Feature public art from local artists
3. Balance local pride with tourist intrigue
Promote the Riverwalk as a neighborhood amenity for all
Chicagoans to enjoy
Sell the Riverwalk to visitors as a connection point that
weaves together all the best of downtown Chicago
Authenticity

35
The Riverwalk Guiding Principles are built upon a platform of
sustainability. Many steps have been taken to ensure that the
Riverwalk project will have a positive effect on the environment
and take steps to rebuild the natural habitat of the Chicago River.
The following list is a sampling of the some of the sustainable
practices used. To ensure continued success, there must be
a conscious effort to keep sustainability at the forefront of the
Riverwalk experience.
A variety of native plants will be reintroduced and used in
the landscaping, attracting native animals and minimizing
maintenance needs
A rainwater collection system will be tied into the irrigation
system to water sections of new landscaping
Existing architectural elements are being salvaged for future
use and to be reincorporated back into the project
Concrete and aggregate that are being removed will be
recycled and used to fill in other new areas
Elements of existing seawall will be incorporated into the
structural stability of the new dock wall
Best management practices to promote sustainability in the
operations and on-going daily maintenance of the Riverwalk
Sustainability

36
Development Opportunities
With over 100,000 square feet of commercial
development opportunity, the Chicago Riverwalk
is a great example of how successfully creating
land will capture future value.
The Chicago Riverwalk is a transformative
placemaking opportunity to activate the
historically significant Chicago River year-round
for both residents and tourists.

Development Opportunities
The areas included in this
section are a suggestion,
and the City will entertain
proposals that suggest
additional concepts and
opportunities to maximize
the potential of the entire
Riverwalk footprint.
The City is particularly
interested in proposals
that ensure the year
round activation of the
Riverwalk. In climates with
weather uncertainty, some
architectural designs that are
becoming popular include
tenting, retractable roofing,
patio enclosures, and
adaptable awnings. Examples
are shown below as illustrative
examples of opportunity for
the Riverwalk.
