Volunteers sought for Naperville Riverwalk project

Naperville residents can help install bricks along the downtown Riverwalk from 9 to 10 a.m. Sept. 15, officials said Wednesday.

Volunteers have been helping place bricks all summer to replace the asphalt pathway along the Riverwalk west to the Jefferson Avenue bridge.

Volunteer efforts along the downtown path began in 1981 when residents installed bricks along the original portion of the Riverwalk. Residents came together again in 2000 to help build the Riverwalk extension from Washington Street to Hillside Road. The latest effort is using recycled bricks from other projects along the Riverwalk. Participants will gather at the Jefferson Avenue Plaza on the east side of the Jefferson Avenue bridge. To sign up, contact Volunteer Coordinator Lynnette Hoole at lhoole@napervilleparks.org or (630) 848-3606.For details on the Riverwalk, visit www.napervilleriverwalk.com.
