Mayor Daley’s plan for a riverwalk along Wacker Drive–envisioned as a $40-50 million dollar project featuring over 35,000 square feet of restaurants, retail, and dock space–is progressing a little more slowly. The city hasn’t been able to secure all that funding, nor has it found a single developer to do the job as it had hoped. Instead, the riverwalk project will proceed in small steps, starting first with a market on the lower level near the new Vietnam War Memorial, and continued sprucing up of the area’s lighting, fencing, and stairs.
