The Illinois and Chicago Departments of Transportation are studying improvements to the northern portion of DuSable Lake Shore Drive, from Grand Avenue to Hollywood Avenue, and, of course, the highway engineers want to build a great big highway and bring more traffic and danger to the lakefront.
The name of the project is “Redefine the Drive.” This is a once-in-a-century opportunity to undo the vandalism Lake Shore Drive has visited upon our lakefront since the 1930s.
