Residents Invited To Learn About Plans To Help With Navigating City

NAPERVILLE, IL — Naperville is brainstorming ways to make the city's downtown area easier to navigate and residents are invited to a public meeting April 13 to discuss proposals for wayfinding signage and other options.

"Downtown Naperville is a thriving destination for Naperville residents and visitors from throughout the Chicago region and beyond. Although many rely on personal digital devices to navigate, key stakeholders believe that a coordinated system of motorist and pedestrian-scale signage (wayfinding signage) remains an important part of the downtown hospitality infrastructure," city officials wrote in a news release ahead of the meeting.

Since 2022, city staff and the Downtown Naperville Alliance has enlisted the help of the Naperville-based Hitchcock Design Group to formulate a Wayfinding Master Plan for the downtown area.

The plan will be presented at the April 13 meeting, giving residents an opportunity to learn about design concepts, budgeting plans and more regarding proposed signage in and around downtown Naperville. If you can't make it to the meeting in person, you'll be able to view it on the city's website afterwards and can send comments to danielle@downtownnaperville.com.
