Much of the While some of the tables in this report show both information previously collected by the decennial decennial census data and ACS data, caution should U.S. Census is now collected only by the American be used when trying to draw conclusions about trends Community Survey (ACS). The ACS is an ongoing by comparing the two sets of numbers. survey that collects sample data every year and reports estimates of population and housing characteristics. For communities smaller than 20,000 people, the best available estimates are reported as rolling averages over 5-year periods – This report is a summary of current conditions and they indicate average conditions over the reporting recent trends in Rapids City, based on the best available period rather than a snapshot of a single point of data. The purpose of these indicators is to enable time. Because the ACS estimates are based on a informed choices about the future of the City. sample of the population, they include some error. The margin of error is reported for each estimate, and is an indication of how reliable the estimate is. As a general rule, the ACS data is quite reliable at the State level, generally reliable at the County level, and less reliable at the municipal level. The margin of error makes the data much more difficult to interpret. To simplify tables in this plan, the reliability of each value is indicated simply by the formatting of the text. For each ACS estimate, the margin of error is divided by the estimate. If the error is 10% or less than the estimate, the value in the table is bolded and underlined. In graphs, the ACS data exceeding this 10% error threshold will be denoted at the bottom of the graph.

Bike, Pedestrian & Transit Sidewalks, Trails, & Routes Pedestrians and bicyclists primarily use Village streets with the exception of the Great River Trail and sidewalk along IL 84. The IL DOT Regional Bike Map (shown on the right) displays the bicycle “level of service” for the major roadways within the planning area. This “level of service” is broken down into the following categories:

Parks & Recreation

In total, the Village has 10.4 acres of parkland. Based PARKLAND NEEDS FORECAST, 2010-2030 on the National Recreation and Park Association’s Source: 2010 Census, MSA Predictions (NRPA) “low demand” recommendations, 2010 2020 2030 the Village currently has a surplus of 5.8 acres. Population 959 987 1,015 Assuming the population projections hold true Low Demand (6 acres/1,000) 5.8 5.9 6.1 and the Village doesn’t add additional parkland, High Demand (12 acres/1,000) 11.5 11.8 12.2 the Village will continue to have a surplus of park Total Supply 10.4 10.4 10.4 spaces. Contrarily, if the NRPA’s high demand ratio Surplus / Deficit 2010 2020 2030 is used, the Village has a shortfall of approximately Low Demand (6 acres/1,000) 4.6 4.5 4.3 1-2 acres of park space. High Demand (12 acres/1,000) -1.1 -1.4 -1.8 The National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA) recommends Although the total acreage is an easy indicator that 6-12 total acres of parks or recreation space per 1,000 people within a community has met its recreation and parkland a community. NRPA also defines park and open space types, including needs, it is not the only indicator. The types of desirable size, service area, and total acres needed to service a community. recreational facilities and access to parkland is also • Mini Parks - 2 acres or less in size, servicing 1/8 mile radius (0.25-0.5 an important indicator. Generally speaking, any acres / 1,000 residents) park is accessible by vehicle; however, walkability • Neighborhood Playgrounds - 2-4 acres in size, servicing 1/4 mile radius (0.5-1.5 acres / 1,000) is even more important, especially for children • Neighborhood Parks - 2-10 acres in size, servicing 1/4 mile radius and young adults. Therefore, neighborhood parks (1.0-2.0 acres/ 1,000) should be within a 1/4 mile in order to service that • Community Play fields/Parks - 5 acres or more, servicing 1.0 mile neighborhood. Community parks and play fields radius (5-8 acres / 1,000) provide a wider variety of recreational activities and, therefore, can justifiably service a larger area River Bend Park - generally a mile radius.

The community’s park system include the following:

• River Bend Park is located at 17th Street and 7th Avenue. It has picnic tables, outdoor grills, playground equipment, a basketball court, a softball diamond, a small skate park and restroom facilities. • Shadow Hill Park is located on top of 12th Street hill.

Rapids City, Illinois A-23 A.7 COMMUNITY CHARACTER

Village History

Laid out in 1838, Rapids City grew around the site of a grist and saw mill. These sawmills provided lumber for building homes and businesses, while the grist mills turned locally grown grain into flour for household use. The Village’s first grist and saw mill was built by the Wells brothers (from nearby Hampton).

The village boomed during the 1870’s through the 1880’s due to neighboring coal mine operations. The Village’s local stores (e.g. grocery/dry goods stores, blacksmith shop, restaurant, hotel, millinery and shoe store) provided services for miners, farmers and their families. An important figure of the 1880’s was Charles Shuler, who operated the Rapids City Coal Mining Company during that time.

Modern day Rapids City is located in the eastern portion of the Quad City metropolitan area along the banks of the Mississippi river in northwestern Illinois. It is a part of Rock Island County and is situated where Interstate 80 crosses into Iowa.

Redevelopment Opportunities

Redevelopment opportunities are buildings or parcels that have fallen into disrepair and are no longer contributing positively to the social or economic life of the City. Redevelopment is typically synonymous with infill development, which is development within existing urban areas that utilizes existing public infrastructure. Such investments help to make communities more efficient and sustainable. No property was listed at this time.

Contaminated Sites Brownfields sites can offer a glimpse into the industrial history of an area as well as provide prime sites for redevelopment. According to the Illinois EPA’s databases, there are three remediated LUST (leaking underground storage tank), and no open contaminated sites of any kind in the Village.
