Comprehensive plan highlights four redevelopment opportunity sites, including North Riverside Park Mall
Summary
The draft plan identifies four primary redevelopment opportunity sites — notably North Riverside Park Mall — and recommends mixed-use development, improved walkability and trail connections to guide reinvestment.
The draft Comprehensive Plan for North Riverside identifies four primary opportunity sites for potential redevelopment, led by North Riverside Park Mall. Peter Hughes and NIU planner Todd Vanadilok described conceptual ideas for transforming underused commercial parcels into mixed‑use developments that could link housing with transit and services.
The plan recommends walkability improvements, expanded trail connections including potential alignments for the Des Plaines River Trail, and targeted downtown enhancements to strengthen community character. The document lists the four opportunity sites explicitly as North Riverside Park Mall; the northwest corner of 8th Avenue and 24th Street; 8001 Edgewater (former Gables site); and 7222 Cermak Road.
