The Fox River is one of the greatest natural assets in northeastern Illinois, providing recreational opportunities and creating a vital environmental corridor for human activity and wildlife preservation. To maintain the river's natural qualities and properly plan for corridor enhancements, Teska Associates, Inc worked with Kendall County and its associated townships and communities to prepare the Fox River Corridor Plan. In particular, the plan provides a focused study and set of guidelines for a segment of the Fox River Corridor located west of Route 47 and extending west to the Kendall/LaSalle County line.
A review of existing conditions and meetings with various stakeholders laid the foundation for the Fox River Corridor Plan, which outlines a series of planning and design recommendations and an implementation plan designed to prompt proactive achievement of the recommendations. Recommendations ranged from planning for a variety of river corridor users and amenities to maintenance and corridor development protection. Since the Fox River flows through the communities of Yorkville, Millbrook, and Millington, plan recommendations, particularly the location of multi-use trails, were made consistent with the plans of these communities.
