Chicago’s lakefront highway debate enters a new phase as public pressure mounts

Chicago’s debate over the future of DuSable Lake Shore Drive is entering a new phase. Regional planners are acknowledging growing public opposition to the current highway-oriented proposal, and are reopening portions of the project’s analysis.

This Friday, May 29, at 9:30 a.m., the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning will again hear public comment on the long-running “Redefine the Drive” project, which would reconstruct and redesign the aging North DuSable Lake Shore Drive corridor.

You can send a 30-second email to CMAP now via a form posted by Better Streets Chicago, or see below for instructions for public comment.
