AUDIT ROW #437 · THE 2019 BASIN COMMISSION PLAN STANDS BANKED · THE TOWN'S EDGE AT ITS SIZE
The river's amenity turn on this ground is dated at basin scale: the Kankakee River Basin Commission's forty-year plan of 2019 — the document that recasts the drained marsh's river as a managed natural system, with recreation and habitat among its stated ends — stands in The Land and is pointed to as the turn's instrument. The town's own river-edge amenity is smaller and mostly potential: the creek-side park ground Parks carries, and a river that bounds the township at a distance from the townsite, reached by county roads rather than by a riverfront. The article prints the turn at that honest proportion — a basin plan above, a creek park below, no riverwalk between — and closes the leg with the river restored to its true place in the town's geography: everywhere in its drainage, nowhere in its streets.
Principal sources: The Land (the Basin Commission's 2019 forty-year plan), pointed to; Parks (the creek-side ground), pointed to.
