A vision for a vibrant riverfront.

The Moline River Front + Centre Plan reimagines the heart of Moline, Illinois, transforming its riverfront into a dynamic, mixed-use destination that serves as a catalyst for downtown revitalization. This bold vision, developed in partnership with the City of Moline and community stakeholders, builds upon a $1 billion initiative to realign the I-74 bridge, creating a unique opportunity to reconnect the city with its historic riverfront.

With a focus on connectivity, accessibility, and community-driven design, the plan envisions a a future where the riverfront becomes a hub for diverse activities and experiences. At its core, the plan creates vibrant public spaces that invite both locals and visitors to gather, engage, and enjoy the riverfront. The design integrates green spaces, pedestrian pathways, and mixed-use development to ensure the area serves as a hub for recreation, commerce, and cultural exchange.
