The effort to build Gateway Park in Plainfield, Illinois has been stalled, due to a failure to secure a federal grant and the unwillingness of a property owner to donate its land to the park. The park would sit at the intersection of Illinois State Route 59 (old Route 66) and U.S. 30 (the Lincoln Highway).
