Bourbonnais, Illinois
Downtown Plan 
Camiros is currently working with the Village of Bourbonnais,
Illinois, and Olivet Nazarene University to prepare an improvement
plan for the downtown area. The University has acquired a
significant amount of property within the downtown area with
the intent of fostering a “college town” atmosphere.
Camiros has prepared Concept Plans that combine traffic calming
roundabouts with new mixed-use development, pedestrian improvements
and a streetscape design motif that reinforces Bourbonnais’
French heritage.

 Concept
Plan. The vision for Downtown Bourbonnais
is both a local attraction and a regional destination. The
downtown attracts people because of its unique physical
setting and the activities that take place there. The physical
setting is that of a traditional downtown, but it is unique
in terms of pedestrian amenities, distinctive architecture,
civic design elements and sense of heritage. The activities
within the downtown include distinctive shops, restaurants,
entertainment and community events. The downtown also connects
with events of regional importance that occur near the downtown,
such as the Chicago Bears preseason camp and Olivet Nazarene
events. Participants in these events use the downtown to
extend the experience by having a meal, lodging, shopping
or strolling through the downtown.
