 1. Moser Tower Assessment - Bill Novack

 Novack reported that ERA has recently received the information from the
 last structural assessment. They are analyzing the results and will be
 incorporating that information into their update. ERA hopes to have the
 updated report submitted in October for an initial discussion at the
 November Planning, Design & Construction Committee (PDC) meeting
 and an additional discussion at the December PDC meeting. Depending
 on the outcome of the discussions, a recommendation may be brought to
 the December Riverwalk Commission meeting.
 2. Riverwalk Master Plan - Pat Kennedy

 Kennedy shared that at the October 1, 2019 Planning, Design &
 Construction Committee, Commissioners and others visited sites that are
 being considered as future projects and enhancement opportunities.
 Some of these include the South Extension from Hillside Road to Martin
 Avenue, a bike lane from Hillside Road to Fredenhagen Park, 430 S.
 Washington Street, the pavilion at Fredenhagen Park, the north and south
 DuPage River shoreline between Main Street and Washington Street, the

 Eagle Street Gateway and the Grand Pavilion.

 During the site visits, Commissioners imagined how each location could
 provide additional safety, complete a gap in the Riverwalk pathway,
 provide for additional accessibility and/or make the Riverwalk more
 hospitable to its users.

 All Commissioners are encouraged to “think out of the box” and be
 imaginative when they are walking the Riverwalk to consider new
 possibilities and enhancements to make to our crown jewel. These will be
 discussed and explored as possible additions to the final Riverwalk Master
 Plan.
