<br /> IDowntown St. Charles is nestled along both banks of the Fox River, in
<br /> a growing community 45 miles west of downtown Chicago.
<br /> The strategic plan for downtown St. Charles strives to create a
<br /> pedestrian-oriented urban place balanced with a great river experience,
<br /> all in the context of a great small town.
<br /> Attention was directed to the ways in which people experience
<br /> downtown, with a particular emphasis on pedestrians. Gateways were
<br /> ip highlighted with focal features and new development. The patterns of
<br /> streetscape enhancements were extended along development
<br /> corridors, and the links between the grid of downtown and the river
<br /> walk were emphasized. Public art, nearly missing in downtown, was
<br /> integrated into the fabric of downtown in ways that would tell a better
<br /> story about the St. Charles community.
