  • 1. Elevate the downtown riverfront as the brand for

Chippewa Falls.

  • 2. Minimize vehicular intrusions, leverage and maximize

use of existing on and off street parking resources.

  • 3. Employ a multimodal, “pedestrian first” approach to

achieve universal access.

  • 4. Seek an appropriate balance of urban and natural

landscape.

  • 5. Embrace the dynamic riverine ecosystem.

DESIGN PRINCIPLES

  • 6. Balance year-round, multigenerational active and

passive recreational programming and complement the existing park system.

  • 7. Reinforce and build on both downtown and regional

context.

  • 8. Leverage riverfront park as an economic catalyst,

generator and stabilizer.

  • 9. Park design should be adaptable to changing

conditions through the river, biodiversity, materiality, programming, operations and maintenance.

  • 10. Celebrate spirit of place, history, and built heritage.

SYNTHESIS

  • Refine promenade for walking and seating, don’t need

to accommodate a farmers market.

  • Confirm safety of pedestrian crossings and on-street

parking.

  • Parking: confirm quantity and location of on and off

street parking resources.

  • Explore design of an entry/overlook feature at

northeast corner.

  • Water feature: no fountain or formal water/play

feature; informal, seasonal skating is desirable.

  • Fishing: ADA group fishing pier is not required; use

informal native stones, and smaller, seating and gathering areas.

SYNTHESIS, ctnd.

  • Landscape: more open lawn, less intermittent mass

plantings; transition from more manicured near edges to more natural near river.

  • Remodel/enhance design of existing lift station

building to include public restrooms.

  • No need for additional buildings (storage,

maintenance, etc.)

  • Allen Park: keep open and unprogrammed, revise

parking area along Rushman Dr., new trails along edges are OK.
