THE PLAN 6 STOPS ON 66
29 IMAGINE THE POSSIBILITIES • IL 53 CORRIDOR PLAN • 2014
29 IMAGINE
THE PLAN: “6 STOPS ON 66”
STRENGTHEN THE THREE EXISTING MAJOR
STOPS ON HISTORIC ROUTE 66
ADD NEW STOPS TO CREATE 6 STOPS ON 66
CONNECT THE 6 STOPS TO OTHER LOCAL
ATTRACTIONS
Downtown Joliet, Gemini Giant and Launching
Pad in Wilmington, and Polk-A-Dot Restaurant in
Braidwood - today these are the three typical
stops for Route 66 tourists before they move on
to the next stop.
The Plan adds new stops at other major local
attractions along Route 66 to attract visitors to
spend more time in the Corridor, creating a total
of 6 UNIQUE STOPS ON 66.
A comprehensive network is proposed to
connect the stops to nearby local attractions with
coordinated wayfinding and signage, and scenic
roads and trails.
3 MAJOR ROUTE 66 STOPS TODAY
DEVELOP 6 STOPS ON 66
CONNECT TO OTHER LOCAL STOPS

The Wauponsee Glacial Trail, a
Forest Preserve District of Will County
(FPDWC) trail, travels 22.29 miles
from Joliet south through Manhattan,
Wilmington, and Symerton to Custer
Park. The northern segment of the
trail (from Sugar Creek Preserve north
to Rowell Avenue in Joliet) travels
through forest, prairie, and wetland,
and is ideal for Biking, Hiking/
Running, In-Line Skating, CrossCountry Skiing and Snowshoeing.
The 19.49 mile southern segment
extends from Sugar Creek Preserve
south to the Kankakee River, and is
ideal for Biking, Horseback Riding,
Hiking/Running, Cross-Country
Skiing and Snowshoeing. Street
routes in Joliet connect the north end
of the trail to the Centennial Trail/I&M
Canal Trail and Old Plank Road Trail.
The Centennial Trail/I&M Canal Trail,
a FPDWC trail, travels 10.81 miles
from the Joliet Iron Works Historic Site
north through Lockport and
Romeoville to the Cook County line.

Wauponsee Glacial Trail
Sugar Creek Preserve access is located at
17540 W. Laraway Road, 0.75 mile east of
(IDNR) trail, offers 61.5 miles of trails
on the old canal towpath for easy
walking, biking, and access to great
scenic and historic sights. Due to the
trails‘s composition, horseback riding
isn‘t allowed.
The Kankakee River State Park Trails,
an IDNR trail system, stretches for
miles along both sides of the Kankakee
River. Hiking, biking and cross-country
ski trails are on the river‘s north side,
while horse and snowmobile trails can
be found on the south. A 3-mile route
along Rock Creek lets hikers take in
the beauty of limestone canyons and a
frothy waterfall. A bicycle trail begins
at Davis Creek Area and travels 10.5
miles along the river and loops in the
west end of the park. A 12-mile
equestrian trail and snowmobiling are
offered during specific months.

O P P O RT U NI T I ES TO CO NNEC T THE REGIONAL TRAILS WITH A NEW TRAIL ALONG ROUTE 66
Midewin National Tallgrass Prairie Trails
As the largest public open space in northeastern
Illinois, Midewin National Tallgrass Prairie offers
experiences of vastness and solitude unavailable
elsewhere. Midewin offers over 35 miles of trail
to enjoy by hiking, biking, and horsebackriding.
Several thousand acres of land are available to
explore without interruption by public roads and
offer opportunities to explore prairie ecosystems
and view grassland wildlife.
Source: Midewin National Tallgrass Prairie
The corridor also offers many miles of smaller
trails that are owned and managed by local
municipalities and agencies like FPDWC and
IDNR. These entities also have future plans for
new trails to create a more connected trail
network for the area.
THE IL 53 CORRIDOR PLAN DOES NOT TRY TO
REDUPLICATE THESE EFFORTS, BUT INSTEAD
BUILDS ON AND SUPPORTS ALL THE LOCAL AND
REGIONAL TRAIL PLANS UNDERWAY.
PLAN RECOMMENDATIONS HAVE
FOCUSED ON TWO MAJOR AREAS:
1. CREATE A NEW TRAIL ALONG IL 53/
ROUTE 66 WITHIN THE R.O.W.
(see following pages 36 an d 37)
2. CONNECT THE EXISTING REGIONAL
TRAILS TO EACH OTHER AND TO THE
PROPOSED IL 53/ROUTE 66 TRAIL
(see pages 38 and 39)

TRAIL PLANS

A BIKE TRAIL ALONG THE IL-53 R.O.W.
Create a major bike trail within the IL-53
R.O.W. from Nowell Park to the new Route
66 Welcome Center at Braidwood. Based on
the varying widths of the road, three
options are proposed. See following pages
for details.
IMPROVE I&M TRAILHEAD
As a major access point for the I & M Canal
Trail, the Brandon Street Trailhead could be
upgraded to offer more amenities such as
benches, drinking fountains, shaded rest
areas and rest rooms, better identification
signage for the trail and the parking area,
additional signage and QR codes to provide
information on other trails and area
activities and attractions.

4
CONNECT THE THREE MAJOR REGIONAL
TRAILS
Provide dedicated trail routes to connect
these three regional trails through
downtown Joliet.
5
EAST-WEST TRAIL LINK ALONG HOFF
A potentail East-West trail connection could
run along the south side of Hoff Road
SUMMARY OF WATER TRAIL
RECOMMENDATIONS
connecting the IL-53 Trail to the Wauponsee
Glacial Trail and to the Manhattan Metra
Station.
6
EAST-WEST TRAIL LINK & THE MIDEWIN
CONNECTION
An East-West Trail Connection along
Manhattan /Arsenal Road would stretch
from the Wauponsee Glacial Trail to the Des
Plaines River and continue along the
riverfront through the Des Plaines Preserve
and connect to the future Midewin Trail.
7
CONNECT TO KANKAKEE RIVER TRAIL
Trail connecting the Kankakee River Trail to
the Wauponsee along IL-102.
8
WAUPONSEE TO BRAIDWOOD TRAIL
Trail connection from the south Wauponsee
trailhead to Braidwood along IL-113.
9
CONNECT ACROSS THE DES PLAINES RIVER
As the I-55 Bridge is reconstructed or
replaced a bike trail should be included on
the bridge to connect the Wauponsee,
Kankakee, Midewin and other local trails to
the I&M Canal Trail.
38 IMAGINE THE POSSIBILITIES • IL 53 CORRIDOR PLAN • 2014
10
KAYAK COURSE IN WILMINGTON
Create a Kayak Course in Willmington at the
old Mill Race between the North Island and
downtown.
11
CANOE LOOPS AT THE CONFLUENCE
Two loops are possible at the confluence of
the Des Plaines, Kankakee and Illinois rivers.
The shorter 8.5-mile loop would be the right
length for a day trip with enough time to
explore. The 15 mile loop could begin at the
Kerry Sheridan Grove where the DuPage
River meets the Des Plaines River, travel
around the island and back down the Des
Plaines to connect to the first loop route.
12
CANOE PORTAGE ON DES PLAINES
To create the two canoe loops, portage
improvements would be required at the
Kerry Sheridan Grove. Interpretive maps
and an IDNR formal recognition of the route
would also be needed.

A CRITICAL NEED FOR SIGNAGE: EXISTING ISSUES
THERE IS A CRITICAL NEED FOR PROPER
SIGNAGE FOR THE CORRIDOR. MAIN SIGNAGE
ISSUES ARE:
SIGNAGE ISSUES ON THE INTERSTATES
• D
UE TO THE LACK OF SIGNAGE AT
THE HIGHWAYS, TRAVELLERS ARE
NOT AWARE THAT THEY ARE SO
CLOSE TO HISTORIC ROUTE 66.
• THERE IS NO SIGNAGE ALONG THE
HIGHWAY TO INDICATE THAT IL 53 IS
“ROUTE 66”.
• THERE IS NO ROUTE 66
DIRECTIONAL SIGNAGE AT THE
RAMPS ONCE YOU TAKE AN EXIT.
SIGNAGE ISSUES ON IL 53/HISTORIC
ROUTE 66
• ONCE YOU ARE ON IL 53, THERE IS
MINIMAL ROUTE 66 ROADWAY
SIGNAGE TO LET YOU KNOW YOU IF
YOU ARE STILL ON THE MOTHER
ROAD.
• THERE IS NO DIRECTIONAL SIGNAGE
TO THE MANY LOCAL ATTRACTIONS
ON AND NEAR ROUTE 66.
