Twenty years ago The Commercial Club of Chicago pre- sented the Chicago Plan as a gift to the municipality, follow- ing which the Chicago Plan Commission was created by the City Council of Chicago. In those twenty years truly remark- able progress has been made in carrying out the lake front park development outlined in the Chicago Plan. The undertaking was recently described in the following language: "From stones the builders rejected, from brickbats the sal- vagers scorned, from the muck of skyscraper caissons and from the sand, ooze and slime of the lake bottom, Chicago, sorceress of the cities, creates a strand of jewels to charm the eyes of the w^orld. Into the waters of Lake Michigan, like Venice wedding the sea, Chicago flings these products of her alchemy, casting into the depths a chain of emeralds twenty-six miles long." * The filling in of the shallow waters along the shore of Lake Michigan has proceeded vigorously. Today much of the park extension has become a reality, and plans for its continuation both north and south to the city limits are under way. That one link in this development still remains incomplete is largely due to the fact that the shore line of Lake Michigan, <5h where it forms the eastern border of the City of Chicago, is under two separate governmental jurisdictions. The Chicago River forms the dividing line. From the river north, the lake front is under the control of the Lincoln Park Board. From the river south the Board of South Park Commissioners has jurisdiction. To complete the lake front development, to connect the great lake front driveways, and to give the people of Chi- cago, particularly of the Lincoln Park and the South Park districts, the full benefit from the money which they have expended toward the lake front park improvement, it is neces- sary that there be a connection between the South Park boule- vard system in Grant Park and the Lincoln Park boulevard system, which now ends near Navy Pier on the north side. Such a connection was recommended in the Plan of Chi- cago, and for years the Chicago Plan Commission has been urging its realization. Incidental to this effort, the Sixty-ninth Congress passed the following bill, introduced on January 8, 1926, by Congressman Fred A. Britten as H. R. 7187, and passed by Congress on February 13, 1926: A BILL Granting the consent of Congress to the South Park Commissioners, and the Commissioners of Lincoln Park, separately or jointly, their successors and assigns, to construct, maintain and operate a bridge across that portion of Lake Michigan lying opposite the entrance to Chicago River, Illinois. BE IT ENACTED BY THE SENATE AND HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMER- ICA IN CONGRESS ASSEMBLED, That the consent of Congress is hereby granted to the South Park Commissioners and the Commission- ers of Lincoln Park, separately or jointly, and their successors and as- signs, to construct, maintain and operate, at a point suitable to the inter- ests of navigation, a bridge and approaches thereto across that portion of Lake Michigan lying opposite the entrance to Chicago River, Illinois, in the city of Chicago, county of Cook, and state of Illinois, in accordance with the provisions of the Act entitled "An Act to regulate the con- struction of bridges over navigable waters," approved March 23, 1906. Section 2. That the right to alter, amend or repeal this Act is hereby expressly reserved. When a bill of this kind is passed by Congress, it is neces- sary that the construction work therein authorized shall be started within a period of one year. If construction does not start within that time the permit lapses. This occurred in connection with the Outer Drive improvement, and it there- fore became necessary for Congress to pass a second act of this kind, which was done on January 14, 1929. On October 22, 1926, Mr. Charles H. Wacker, then chair- man of the Chicago Plan Commission, sent the following letter to Messrs. James Simpson, John V. Farwell and Harry A. Wheeler, all members of the Plan Commission and of its Executive Committee: ^'Gentlemen : I am informed that the project of the Outer Drive between Lincoln Park and Grant Park has reached a point where plans of the improvement will soon have to be definitely settled. I therefore desire to appoint a committee consisting of James Simpson, Chairman, John V. Farwell, Harry A. Wheeler. to represent the Chicago Plan Commission in co-operating with the public bodies concerned and developing a definite plan for the improvement. I am confident that the committee can be of the utmost help in harmonizing the interests in- volved and shaping a plan which will command the approval of the executive committee of the Chicago Plan Commission, and give general satisfaction. Trusting that I may be favored with your acceptance of this appointment, I am, Very truly yours, (Signed) CHARLES H. Wacker." Messrs. Simpson, Farwell and Wheeler accepted this ap- pointment, and under the direction of the committee, the technical staff of the Plan Commission, Hugh E. Young, chief engineer, prepared a number of alternate plans em- bodying the various routes which this proposed Outer Drive connection might follow. <7> Each of these alternate plans was accompanied by a de- tailed estimate of cost, separated into those portions which each of the two park boards would be called upon to bear. On November I, 1926, Mr. Charles H. Wacker resigned as chairman of the Chicago Plan Commission, having served the public interest in that capacity continuously since Novem- ber 1, 1909. Following Mr. Wacker's resignation, Mr. James Simpson was appointed chairman of the Plan Commission by the Mayor and the City Council, in recognition of his outstand- ing ability, broad experience and many years of public service in Chicago Plan work. River Straightening, and other activi- ties looking toward the improvement of Chicago. Chairman Simpson selected the Outer Drive improvement as being one of the major Chicago Plan projects upon which the Plan Commission should focus its efforts. The special Outer Drive Committee and the technical staff continued their intensive studies of the situation, and when those studies were nearing completion, Chairman Simpson suggested to the park authorities that a meeting be held to give consideration to the subject. This meeting took place Monday, May 16, 1927, and was attended by the following persons: David H. Jackson, then President of the Lincoln Park Board; Henry A. Marbach, then engineer for that Board; Edward J. Kelly, President of the Board of South Park Commissioners; Ralph Leffler, engineer, Sanitary District of Chicago; William F. Mulvihill, Superintendent of Waterways of the State of Illinois; W. A. Artingstall, Department of Public Works, City of Chicago; F. L. Thompson, Vice-President of the Illinois Central Rail- road Company; W. O. Green, representing the Chicago Dock and Canal Company; Congressman Fred A. Britten; Major Rufus W. Putnam, representing The Commercial Club of Chicago; Col. E. H. Schultz, representing the War Depart- ment, U. S. ; M. W. Ottershagen, engineer. Bureau of Rivers and Harbors, City of Chicago, and Eugene S. Taylor, man- ager, Chicago Plan Commission. EDWARD J. KELLY President, South Park Commissioners President Jackson offered, and Mr. Taylor seconded, a motion that President Kelly be made Chairman of the meet- ing. This motion was adopted unanimously, and Mr. Kelly took the chair. Mr. Jackson stated that the purpose of the meeting was to discuss the best method of connecting the Lincoln Park boule- vards with the South Park boulevards, and to determine the quickest way to bring about the realization of the project. The discussion which followed was participated in by Messrs. Mulvihill, Putnam, Britten, Green, Schulz, Arting- stall, Thompson and Taylor. Mr. Taylor presented to the group the following letter, dated May 16, 1927, and addressed to President Jackson by Chairman James Simpson of the Chicago Plan Commission : "Dear Sir: In reference to the proposed Outer Drive connection, may I say that the technical staff of the Chicago Plan Commis- sion during the past several months has been making a very exhaustive study of this subject, and has had numerous con- ferences with the various parties in interest. Our study is not yet quite finished, although we expect to have it complete within the next week or ten days. It is our purpose, as soon as finished, to present our suggestions to the Presidents of the Lincoln Park and South Park Boards; to the city authorities; to Colonel Schulz, engineer for the Federal Government; and to Mr. Mulvihill, Superintendent of Waterways of the State of Illinois. We trust that this short delay will not be productive of in- convenience to any one, but feel that it is fully justified by the magnitude of the project. The proposed thoroughfare is an important factor in the general street transportation plan of the city, and is an in- tegral part of the general lake front improvement, yet is one in which due weight should be given to all the important local conditions and elements of the problem of recommending the best possible route for the proposed connection. We are hopeful of being able to submit a plan that will meet with almost unanimous approval, and one that will per- <9h mit of accomplishment in a shorter period of time than has been consumed by any other great public improvement. Very truly yours, (Signed) James Simpson." On motion of Mr. Jackson, seconded by Mr. Ottershagen and unanimously adopted, a committee was appointed to con- fer and work with the Chicago Plan Commission in develop- ing a plan for connecting the two park systems. The chairman appointed the following committee : Edward J. Kelly, chairman; David H. Jackson, Fred A. Britten, Charles H. Markham, Major Rufus W. Putnam, and Chair- man James Simpson of the Chicago Plan Commission. Under date of May 17, 1927, Chairman Simpson sent the following letter to President Edward J. Kelly of the Board of South Park Commissioners: "Dear Mr. Kelly: Three ways of connecting Lake Shore Drive with the Outer Drive in Grant Park have been studied by the Chi- cago Plan Commission. Our engineering staff, under the direction of Hugh E. Young, has studied five or six alternate locations for a bascule bridge, a tunnel and a suspension bridge. We expect that the final details of the Outer Drive study will be complete in three or four days. As yet, of course, no plan has been submitted to the Plan Commission for action. However, we have had an analysis prepared showing the relative advantages and disadvantages of a tunnel versus a bridge as a means of making the Outer Drive connection. I am submitting this analysis for the consideration of your committee. It is as follows: Bridge Advantages 1. Well authenticated figures show beyond a doubt that the proposed bridge, including condemnation costs, can be constructed for less than one-half of what it would cost to construct a tunnel of similar dimensions and equal traffic capacity. / 2. A bridge with elevated approaches will permit of an intensive development of the property east of Michigan Ave- nue both north and south of the river. Such development would be seriously discouraged by a tunnel. 3. A bridge will allow the various east-and-west streets to connect with the Outer Drive — both those now existing north of the river, and those which can be extended east of Michigan Avenue south of the river, such as Wacker Drive, South Water Street, Lake Street and Randolph Street. Such connections are vitally necessary to the free and unin- terrupted movement of traffic. East-and-west streets are par- ticularly needed to care for the great numbers of pedestrians and vehicles drawn to the municipal pier, the Northwestern University group, the Furniture Mart, and other public and semi-public facilities both north and south of the river. A bridge not only permits of free and easy pedestrian movement, but the location of the Outer Drive means less danger to pedestrians because of fewer streets to cross, and a more rapid movement of vehicular traffic. 4. If the Outer Drive is carried across the river by a bridge as planned, it will be the "farthest east" street, and therefore will have no cross traffic, while traffic can flow to and from it freely. . 5. The bridge can be designed to permit the future de- velopment of a mezzanine level for the use of commercial traffic. This is essential if the areas north and south of the river and east of Michigan Avenue are to develop to their highest usefulness. 6. A bridge fits in and harmonizes with the rest of the lake front development being carried out by the South Park and Lincoln Park boards, and is an essential part of this development, without which the area cannot possibly develop in a way that will serve the best interests of the City of Chicago. The money to be expended to provide this connec- tion is public money. Obviously it should be spent for that which will produce the greatest amount of public benefit. Bridge Disadvantages 1. Traffic on the Outer Drive v^^ill be delayed whenever and for so long a time as the bridge is opened for the passage of vessels. Offsetting this, if and when an outer harbor is installed this objection will be greatly minimized. There is also the possibility of fixed bridges at some time in the future. 2. There will be an annual cost for operation, as on any movable bridge. Tunnel Advantages 1. The advantage of a tunnel is that the movement of vessels in the river during the "open bridge" hours would not interfere with the movement of the vehicles in the tunnel. There are other elements, however, in connection with the tunnel that might cause equal if not even greater delay to vehicular movement than are to be anticipated in connection with the bridge because of bridge openings, such as interrup- tion to the functioning of the ventilating system, fires, traffic accidents in restricted areas, and drainage. Tunnel Disadvantages 1. The original cost of the tunnel will be at least twice as much as the cost of a bridge, and will impose upon the park boards a very large annual maintenance cost for ventilation, twenty-four hour per day lighting, and drainage. 2. The adequate ventilation of a tunnel such as the pro- posed one would have to be would involve large initial cost and perpetual maintenance expense. There would always re- main the potential danger due to the gases emitted by the many thousand automobiles which would use it daily, a dan- ger which is not present in the case of a bridge in the open air. 3. A tunnel of the length proposed would be too long to make pedestrian use practicable, and undesirable for pedes- trian use because of motor exhaust fumes. 4. Government requirements will necessitate a clearance of about thirty feet below the level of the river and the top EUGENE R. PIKE President, Commissioners of Lincoln Park UHIVFRSITY Of lU'NOlS of the tunnel. This means that the tunnel would have to be some sixty or sixty-five feet underground and, because of this depth, and the presence of the railroad tracks north and south of the river, the approaches v^ould have to be two thou- sand feet long, in order to provide desirable grades for motor traffic. In all probability the entrance and exit to the tunnel on the north side would have to be in the vicinity of Erie Street, and near Washington or Monroe Street on the south. 5. No access would be possible to the Outer Drive be- tween Erie Street on the north and at least Washington Street on the south. Hence no east-and-west connections, such as Wacker Drive, South Water Street, Lake Street or Randolph Street could be provided. Without such street connections, the development of the large area between Michigan Avenue and the lake would be restricted. 6. A tunnel would cause continuous traffic congestion at its two ends far worse than any congestion that could be caused by the temporary opening of a bridge, and would require all traffic originating south of Erie Street and north of Washington Street to go a considerable distance out of its way in order to get into and out of the tunnel. When vehicles arrived at the ends of the proposed tunnel there would not be sufficient street capacity, east and west, to care for the traffic, hence the principal purpose of the improvement would be defeated. Very truly yours, (Signed) James Simpson." On May 23, 1927, Chairman James Simpson sent another communication to President Edward J. Kelly of the Board of South Park Commissioners as follows: "Dear Mr. Kelly: Pursuant to the action of the meeting of May 16th, called by President David H. Jackson of the Lincoln Park Board, at which an Outer Drive committee was created, I hand you herewith copy of seven different studies that have been made during the past six months by the technical staff of the Chicago Plan Commission. These studies cover various al- ternate routes by which the Outer Drive in Grant Park may be connected with Lake Shore Drive, together with the esti- mated cost of each. Our staff has thoroughly studied the advantages and dis- advantages of the three possible methods of making this Outer Drive connection, i. e., by a bascule bridge, a tunnel or a suspension bridge, and has also taken into consideration the various routes which this Outer Drive connection might follow. Our staff believes that the choice lies between Plans Nos. 1 and 2, and that Plan No. 2 is better. The enclosed sketch shows Plan No. 2 in solid lines and Plan No. 1 dotted. Plan No. 2 provides for extending the Outer Drive in Grant Park straight north from the center of the Field Museum over the Illinois Central railroad tracks to the Chi- cago River. Here the route turns east and follows the south bank of the river along the proposed extension of Wacker Drive to the river mouth. At this point the route turns north, crosses the river by means of a bascule bridge, and is carried on north over Ogden Slip, the railroad tracks and intervening private prop- erty to a connection with Lake Shore Drive at Ohio Street, the point where Lake Shore Drive now ends. The bridge and the Outer Drive north of the river will be very similar to the Michigan Avenue improvement. Our technical staff favors this plan for the Outer Drive connection for the following reasons: 1. It does not interfere with the harbor and waterway plans of the Federal Government and the State of Illinois. There- fore, it should meet with the approval of those authorities and the necessary permission should be granted promptly. 2. This route should bring about the extension of Wacker Drive east from Michigan Avenue far more quickly than any of the other routes because for nearly half the distance between Michigan Avenue and the shore of the lake this Outer Drive forms part of the proposed Wacker Drive ex- ^{ 14 }*♦ tension. The early construction of the remaining portion of the Wacker Drive extension will enable the Outer Drive to function to even greater traffic advantage because it will permit vehicles bound to and from the West Side to use the wide streets that form the quadrangle, thereby avoiding con- gested loop streets. The City Council is vigorously advocating the extension of Wacker Drive east to the shore of the lake. If almost one-half of this improvement is built by the South Park Commissioners as part of the Outer Drive improvement, the cost to the municipality for the remaining section will be only little more than one-half as much as if it built the entire extension itself. 3. The route covered in Plan No. 2 is a very direct con- nection and is less expensive than any of the other proposed routes. 4. Our technical staff estimates that the cost of Plan No. 2 would be approximately $10,000,000; approximately $5,000,000 of which would be expended by the South Park district and approximately $5,000,000 by the Lincoln Park district. This route costs from $410,000 to $4,275,000 less than the other proposed routes. Therefore it is first choice from the standpoint of cost. 5. The $5,000,000 estimated as the South Park district's proportion of the cost has already been authorized and the bond issue provided for. Of the $5,000,000 estimated as the Lincoln Park district's share of the cost only $3,000,000 has been authorized by the people. It is therefore necessary to get authority from the Legislature for the Lincoln Park Board to issue the additional $2,000,000 bonds for this im- provement. A bill has been prepared under the direction of the Chicago Plan Commission and will be introduced this week by Senator James J. Barbour and Representative Joseph Gill to provide the additional $2,000,000 bonding power necessary to complete the Outer Drive. It is hoped that all interests will promote the early passage of this bill. 6. We have held conferences with a number of the people in interest, including Mr. Charles H. Markham, president of the Illinois Central railroad; Mr. W. O. Green, of Ogden, Sheldon & Co., and others, and it is our hope that an amicable agreement can be arrived at with respect to property damage and awards. If, as we hope, this can be accomplished, the necessary court proceedings will be of a friendly nature and can be completed quickly. In that event, and if this plan is approved by your committee, the actual physical work thereon might start either late this year or early next year, and the project be completed in its entirety by 1929. I trust that your special committee will take early oppor- tunity to study this matter so that the committee's views can be presented to the Chicago Plan Commission at the same time that the report and recommendation of our technical staff are submitted for the official action of the Commission. Awaiting your further pleasure, I am, Sincerely yours, (Signed) James Simpson." At the election of November 2, 1926, the people of the South Park district had authorized the issuance of $5,000,000 of bonds by the South Park Commissioners to pay one-half the cost of the Outer Drive bridge, and the cost of the south approach thereto. At that same election, the people of the Lincoln Park dis- trict had authorized the issuance of $3,000,000 of bonds to pay the other half of the bridge cost, and the cost of the north approach, but as the studies of the technical staff of the Chi- cago Plan Commission progressed, it became clearly apparent that even the least expensive route which this Outer Drive connection might follow would involve an expense of some- thing more than $5,000,000 to the Lincoln Park Board. Therefore it became necessary to make it possible for the Lincoln Park Board to issue an additional $2,000,000 worth of bonds to bring the total available amount up to the $5,000,- 000 that would be needed. The Lincoln Park Board, before it can submit any bond issue proposition to the voters of that district for approval, must first receive authority from the legislature of the State of Illinois. 'i 16 }*► JAMES SIMPSON Chairman, Chicago Plan Commission -n»pY IIH - During the Fifty-fifth General Assembly of the State Legis- lature, the Lincoln Park Board was appealing for the right to submit $6,000,000 of bond issues to the voters, at the rate of $2,000,000 per year for a three year period. These bonds, however, were for the purpose of continuing the northward extension of Lincoln Park. Park authorities, in view of this request, which was then pending before the legislature, felt disinclined to ask for this additional authorization for another $2,000,000 of bond issuing power for the Outer Drive bridge connection. Under these conditions Chairman Simpson offered to have the Chicago Plan Commission sponsor the needed legislation, which idea was cheerfully agreed to by the park authorities. By direction of Chairman Simpson, the manager of the Plan Commission, Mr. Eugene S. Taylor, proceeded immediately to Springfield and requested the Legislative Reference Bureau to prepare the necessary legislation. On May 24, 1927, Senator James J. Barbour introduced this legislation in the Senate, as Senate Bill 563, and Representa- tive Joseph Gill introduced it in the House, as House Bill 740. In due course the legislation was enacted into law. Senator Barbour and Representative Gill are entitled to the thanks of the people of Chicago for their activity in introducing these bills and following the matter through until the needed legis- lative permission had been granted enabling the Lincoln Park Board to submit this $2,000,000 bond issue for public approval. This recital of events in connection with the Outer Drive improvement, gives splendid opportunity to express publicly the thanks of the Chicago Plan Commission, and indeed of the city as a whole, to another man who assisted in securing favorable action by the state legislature upon this measure. Mr. Gotthard A. Dahlberg, former Speaker of the House, who was present in Springfield at the time, being intimately acquainted with the procedure which legislation must follow in passing through the state legislature, co-operated most effectively in the various steps leading up to final action by ^17> the state government. This assistance was invaluable, and is hereby gratefully acknowledged. One other factor of inestimable value also entered into the situation. That was the cordial, continuous and most effective publicity which the newspapers of Chicago gave to the effort to secure this legislation. Through their columns the repre- sentatives of the state at Springfield were assured that the people of Chicago were extremely desirous of being enabled to construct the Outer Drive connecting the north and south side park systems. To the newspapers all Chicago owes sin- cere gratitude. In point of time, the next incident in the progress of the Outer Drive plans was the approval by the Executive Com- mittee of the Chicago Plan Commission of Plan No. 2. The minutes of the seventy-second meeting of that commit- tee, held on Monday, June 13, 1927, contain the following: "A joint report was submitted by the technical staff cover- ing the various alternate plans for connecting the Outer Drive in Grant Park with Lake Shore Drive, and recommending Plan No. 2 as the best. After thorough discussion, on motion of Mr. Charles H. Thorne, seconded by Mr. Michael Zimmer, the Executive Committee approved Plan No. 2 and recommended it to the Commission as a whole for official action." The Twenty-ninth meeting of the Chicago Plan Commis- sion was held on Monday, June 27, 1927. At this meeting the following joint technical report with respect to the pro- posed Outer Drive improvement was presented: June 8, 1927.* "Mr. James Simpson, Chairman, Chicago Plan Commission, 208 West Washington Street, Chicago. Subject: Outer Drive. Dear Sir: You have requested the technical staff of the Chicago Plan Commission to make a study of the several alternate routes by which the Outer Drive in Grant Park can be connected *The estimates in this report were revised May 25, 1928. The estimate for Study No. 2 was revised June 3, 1929.) ^18 J*' with Lake Shore Drive north of the Chicago River, and to submit a report as to which of these routes is most desirable and practicable. Accordingly, we have made surveys and studies of the present conditions along the proposed routes; have held a number of conferences and have analyzed probable condi- tions resulting from making the Outer Drive connection with respect to traffic and benefits to property; have considered the economic features involved ; and have studied the relation this thoroughfare will have to other arteries of traffic, so that this improvement will be developed along the most log- ical and efficient lines both now and for the future. Location Seven alternate routes have been studied by the technical staff. A brief description of each route, together with general plans and estimates is given in the addendum, except for the recommended plan, Study No. 2, which is described in the main report. Improvement Recommended A careful analysis of these studies shows that Study No. 2 is the most desirable and practicable, taking into consideration the work involved, requirements of the location, economy of cost and adaptability to location aesthetically as well as prac- tically, and freedom from features which will interfere with harbor developments. Study No. 2 is shown on Drawings No. 176, 105, 116 and 117. This plan provides for extending Lake Shore Drive south from its present terminus at Ohio Street. It rises from that point on a filled approach 139 feet wide, extending from Ohio Street to Grand Avenue, thence south on a viaduct structure 139 feet wide over the lands of the Chicago Dock and Canal Company to the Michigan Canal (also known as Ogden Slip), crossing this slip on a single leaf bascule bridge 108 feet wide, thence south again on viaduct construction over the Chicago Dock and Canal Company's property and a small parcel of land belonging to the United States Lighthouse Service, Department of Commerce, to the Chicago River, crossing the river on a two-leaf bascule bridge 108 feet wide, having a clear channel for navigation of 210 feet between clearance lines. This bridge will be monumental in character, having large plazas on each approach, constructed of granite and stone. The structural steel work of the bridge and the ^( 19 h stone work of the plaza abutments will be of imposing archi- tectural design, in keeping with the importance of this gate- way to Chicago from Lake Michigan. West from the south plaza the drive is carried on a viaduct 140 feet wide extending along the south bank of the Chicago River to the north and south line of the Outer Drive in Grant Park. This section of the improvement will become a part of the future extension of Wacker Drive now completed along the south bank of the Chicago River between Lake Street and Michigan Avenue. Turning south again, the improvement follows the line of the Outer Drive, which is the north and south axis of the Field Museum, over the railroad yards of the Illinois Cen- tral Railroad, on a viaduct structure 140 feet wide, to Ran- dolph Street, the north boundary of Grant Park, where it connects with both Randolph Street and the present Outer Drive in Grant Park. That part of the Outer Drive improvement located north of the center line of the Chicago River is to be carried out by the Commissioners of Lincoln Park and the portion south of the center line of the river is to be constructed by the South Park Commissioners. The Lincoln Park portion of the driveway will require the acquisition by Lincoln Park of land owned by the Chicago Dock and Canal Company and by the federal government. Study No. 2 is considered best for the following reasons: 1. It does not interfere with harbor and waterway plans of the Federal Government and the State of Illinois. There- fore, it should meet with the approval of these authorities and the necessary permission should be granted promptly. 2. This route should bring about the extension of Wacker Drive east from Michigan Avenue far more quickly than any of the other routes, because for nearly half the distance between Michigan Avenue and the shore of the lake this Outer Drive forms a part of the proposed Wacker Drive extension. The early construction of the remaining portion of the Wacker Drive extension will enable the Outer Drive to function to even greater traffic advantage because it will permit vehicles bound to and from the west side to use the wide streets that form the quadrangle, thereby avoiding con- gested loop streets. The City Council is vigorously advocat- ing the extension of Wacker Drive east to the shore of the lake. If nearly one-half of this improvement is built by the ^20)*' THE COMMISSIONERS OF LINCOLN PARK Robert H. Morse Vice President John F. Cuneo Albert Z. Halperin John R. Thompson, Jr. John A. Tortenson Olr i"^^ U*WB^^^^ ^^ South Park Commissioners as part of the Outer Drive im- provement, the cost to the municipality for the remaining section will be approximately only one-half as much as if it built the entire extension itself. 3. The route covered in Study No. 2 is a very direct con- nection and is less expensive than any of the other proposed routes. 4. It is estimated that the cost of Plan No. 2* would be approximately $10,268,176, of which $4,994,034 will be ex- pended by the South Park District and $5,274,142 by the Lincoln Park District. It will be seen from the following table that this route costs from $409,536 to $4,275,024 less than the other proposed routes. Therefore, it is the first choice from the standpoint of cost.

Chicago Dock and Canal Company This company owns all of the land between Grand Avenuie and the Chicago River across which the Outer Drive improve- ment will extend, except the lighthouse property. The land damage involves the condemnation of air rights, and the building damage, including the taking of the upper five floors of the North Pier Terminal Building. North Pier Terminal Company This company's lease with the Chicago Dock and Canal Company expires in 1949. They sub-lease to the General Electric Company and Arbuckle Brothers. The General Electric Company's lease expires March 3, 1929 (no exten- sion) and the Arbuckle Brothers' lease expires January 31, 1929 (no extension). The method suggested for adjusting the North Pier Ter- minal Building to the Outer Drive viaduct structure is shown on the accompanying drawing No. 150. The amount given in the estimate to cover the damage to the Chicago Dock and Canal Company, includes damage to the North Pier Terminal Company. No compensation is given to the sub-tenants, as their leases will expire before the property is taken.

A2sy Street, the air rights to 139 feet of which will be taken for the new improvement. Their lease expires April 30, 1949, but has a renewal clause which provides that the lease can be terminated at any ten year period after 1949, upon payment by the Chicago Dock and Canal Company of the appraised value of all improvements. If the property leased by the Gair Company is taken by special assessment proceeding, the lease provides that the Chicago Dock and Canal Company receives all awards for land damage and the Gair Company receives all awards for damage to buildings. This company has received a permit from the City of Chicago to construct a new building, east of their present building, which will lie in the path of the improvement. It is proposed to so construct the viaduct that it can be co-ordi- nated with the building construction. A special arrangement of the viaduct columns can be made to give the desired spac- ing and clearance to serve the building, and the floor of the viaduct can form the roof of the building as shown on the accompanying drawing No. 169. Government Land and Buildings The total area of the tract owned by the Government is 17,273 square feet, of which 13,757 square feet are required for the site of the north plaza of the bridge. The area of 3,516 square feet not taken is in one piece and is located on the west side of the tract. The Lighthouse Service is willing to exchange its present site, which is required for the bridge plaza, for a tract of land sufficiently large to accommodate buildings and facilities similar to those which the service now has. The Government would like to obtain a new site on the tract of land west of the municipal pier along the east side of the basin at the mouth of the Michigan Canal, which is now owned by the city. A bill has been introduced in Congress authorizing an exchange of the Lighthouse property for a tract of land owned by the City of Chicago located west of the municipal pier. This bill has been passed by the Senate, and it is expected it ^26y SOUTH PARK COMMISSIONERS Louis J. Behan Vice President John Bain Philip S. Graver Michael L. Igoe UKWEftSlTY Of ILUHOIS will be passed by the House before the adjournment of Congress. After this exchange of property has been made, the Lincoln Park Commission will then be in a position to acquire this tract of land by negotiating with the City of Chicago. Adaptibility to Grant Park Plan The proposed improvement fits in with the formal design of Grant Park, and does not prevent any lakeward develop- ment at the north end of the park on the axis of Randolph Street that may be necessary to complete the ultimate plan as originally recommended by the Plan Commission. It may be desirable at some future time to extend the Outer Drive south from the bridge as shown in dotted lines on Drawing No. 116, to an intersection with Randolph Street and there create a large circular concourse in a position that would place it on the north and south axis of the Shedd Aquarium. Importance in the Transportation Plan When this improvement has been carried out, it will benefit traffic in the following respects : 1. It will immediately attract 20,000 vehicles per day from Michigan Avenue, relieving to that extent the congestion on this thoroughfare. 2. It will open up another route to handle the increasing number of automobiles that will take the Outer Drive. It is estimated that with the present rate of increase in automobile traffic there will be over 40,000 vehicles per day using this thoroughfare within the next few years. 3. It will complete the link in what will eventually become the most important north and south route in the city. High- way traffic from Indiana and Illinois entering the city from nine important thoroughfares will center on South Park Ave- nue at the southern city limits. Through traffic will then follow South Park Avenue to 23rd Street, where connection is made with the Outer Drive along the lake front to Roose- velt Road, thence along the Outer Drive in Grant Park to the south bank of the river, east along Wacker Drive extended to the mouth of the river and north again to Lake Shore Drive <27y at Ohio Street, thence along the lake on an uninterrupted thoroughfare to the city limits and beyond. Such a route will provide a great lake-front by-pass thoroughfare which will have contact with all important east and west thoroughfares. 4. It will give north side traffic a convenient, quick and efficient method of entering the downtown district, function- ing in this respect as South Parkway and the drives in Burn- ham Park function on the south side. North side traffic can proceed quickly and without cross traffic interruption to Wacker Drive or to Randolph Street, and thence into the loop. Character of Improvement The character of the proposed improvement is shown on the accompanying Drawings No. 102, 103, 104, 105, 116, 117, 150, 161, 162, 163, 164, 165, 167, 168, 169, 170, 171, 174, 176, 177, 178, 179, 180, 181, 182, 184, 185, 186, 187, 188, 189, 190, 191, 192, 193, 194, 195, 196, 200 and 201. There are four important elements in this plan, three of which are included in the work to be done under the existing bond issues by the Lincoln Park and South Park Commis- sions, including ( 1 ) the extension of Lake Shore Drive south to the bridge (Drawings No. 102 and 164) ; (2) construction of bridge over the Chicago River (Drawing No. 163) ; and (3) the construction of the east part of the Wacker Drive extension and the extension of the Outer Drive in Grant Park from Randolph Street northward to the south bank of the river (Drawing No. 103). The fourth feature is the con- struction of the Randolph Street viaduct between Michigan Avenue and the Outer Drive (Drawing No. 162). The Outer Drive in Grant Park will be graded up to meet the new elevation at Randolph Street as shown on Drawing No. 165. The connection will be made by means of a large plaza which, in addition to giving a formal aspect, will be designed with full consideration for the efficient move- ment of traffic. The Randolph Street and Outer Drive im- provements, including the bridge, are planned as two-level structures, the upper level only to be built at the present time. ^28]** It is expected that with the development of the Illinois Cen- tral area and the area north of the river, it will be imperative that additional outlets be provided for commercial traffic. The low level should extend from Illinois Street south to Ran- dolph Street and west in Randolph Street as far as clear- ance over the tracks will permit. This low level roadway would afford an outlet to com- mercial traffic, both north and south of the river. These areas can be developed with two-level streets, with commer- cial traffic handled on the lower level and boulevard traffic on the upper level. Randolph Street and the Outer Drive, together with Illi- nois Street, when double decked, would become marginal tw^o- level streets around this district. All intermediate streets, in- cluding Wacker Drive extended along the south bank of the river and the suggested drive along the north river bank, would connect with these marginal streets on both levels. Such a development would give the best possible flexibility to passenger and commercial vehicle movement in this district. When the district east of Michigan Avenue, both north and south of the river, has been intensively developed, the present low level of the Michigan Avenue bridge will be insufficient to handle the traffic serving this area. GRADES Upper Level From the present terminus of Lake Shore Drive at Ohio Street, the roadway rises from the present grade of 13 feet at the south line of Ohio Street to an elevation of 21.29 feet at the north line of Grand Avenue, the grade of the roadway in this block being 3.3835 per cent for the first 109 feet and 4.318 per cent for the remainder of the distance. The rise continues to an elevation of 30.72 feet at the north line of Illinois Street, the grade of the roadway in this block being 3.229 per cent. The grade continues to rise to an elevation of 42.2 feet at a point 45.92 feet south of the river face of the south abutment of the single leaf bascule span, the grade on this section of the structure being 3.229 per cent. From the elevation of 42.2 feet the roadway continues to rise on a grade of 1.055 per cent to an elevation of plus 47 feet at a point 95 feet north of the river face of the north abut- ment of the tw^o leaf bascule bridge over the main river. From the elevation of 47 feet the grade rises at the rate of 0.975 per cent for a distance of 205 feet to an elevation of 49 feet at the center of the bridge, from which point the roadway descends on a grade of 0.975 per cent for a distance of 205 feet over the south leaf of the bascule bridge to an elevation of 47 feet. The grade on the upper level of the south plaza, also on the viaduct structure extending westward along the south bank of the river to the north and south line of the Outer Drive in Grant Park, also the upper level roadway of the viaduct extending across Illinois Central property from the south bank of the river to 24 feet north of the south line of Randolph Street, is level and is at an elevation of 47 feet. From elevation 47 feet at a point 24 feet north of the south line of Randolph Street the roadway descends on a grade of 1.5 per cent to an elevation of 44.825 feet, which is located 121 feet south of the new south line of Randolph Street. From this point the roadway descends on a grade of 2.59 per cent to elevation 17>^ feet at the north curb line of Monroe Street in Grant Park. From elevation 47 feet at the intersection of the center line of the Outer Drive and Randolph Street, the roadway extends west in Randolph Street at elevation 47 feet to a point 604 feet east of the east curb line of Michigan Avenue (north of Randolph Street), from which point it descends on a grade of 4.963 per cent to an elevation of 19.9 feet, located 58 feet east of said east curb line of Michigan Avenue, from which point it descends on a grade of 2.6 per cent, a distance of 50 feet to an elevation of plus 18.6 feet at a point 8 feet east of said east curb line of Michigan Avenue. Mezzanine Level The grade of the proposed mezzanine level, if and when constructed, is to be as follows: Beginning in the Randolph Street viaduct at a point 604 feet east of said east curb line of Michigan Avenue at eleva- CHICAGO PLAN COMMISSION OFFICIALS Albert A. Sprague Vice Chairman Charles H. Wacker Chairman, Nov. 1, 1909, to Nov. 1, 1926 Michael Zimmer Vice Chairman tion 28.5 feet, the mezzanine level extends at this elevation eastward in Randolph Street to the Outer Drive and con- tinues north at this elevation to East Wacker Drive (the sec- tion of the Outer Drive along the river), thence east along the Outer Drive at an elevation of 28.5 feet to a point 180 feet west of the center line of the bridge, from which point it descends eastward on a grade of 1.5 per cent to an eleva- tion of 26.5 feet at a point 47 feet west of the center line of the bridge. The grade at the south plaza is level and is at elevation 26.5 feet. From a point on the south plaza at a distance of 205 feet south of the center line of the bridge, the roadway rises on a grade of 0.975 from elevation 26.5 feet to elevation 28.5 feet, which is at the center line of the bridge. Northward from the center line of the bridge the roadway descends on a grade of 0.975 per cent for a distance of 205 feet to an elevation of 26.5 on the north plaza, from which point it descends on a grade of 1.912 per cent for a distance of 183 feet to an elevation of 23 feet near the south line of North Water Street, where it is proposed to terminate the mezzanine level until such time as a change in the use of the property between North Water Street and Illinois Street permits the extension of the mezzanine level to Illinois Street. Until that time the plans propose the construction of a ramp extending from the mezzanine level of the north plaza west in and along North Water Street. The roadway would de- scend from elevation 23 feet on a grade of 5 per cent to the present level of the street. The extension of the mezzanine level north from North Water Street would be as follows: From an elevation of 23 feet near the south line of North Water Street, the road- way would descend on a grade of 1.987 per cent for 553.50 feet northward to an elevation of plus 12 feet at the south line of Illinois Street, there connecting with the present level of the street slightly modified. The construction of a mezzanine level would not decrease the clearance of 22 feet under the main bridge over the Chicago River, but it would decrease the clearance under the bridge over the Michigan Canal from 22 feet to 12 feet. The clearance of 12 feet under the bridge over the canal is based on the assumption that sufficient clearance must be provided under the boulevard floor for the possible accommodation of railroad tracks as suggested in the Harbor Plan published by The Commercial Club. Capacity for Vehicle Traffic Beginning at the junction of Randolph Street and the Outer Drive, the new improvement extends north across the Illinois Central property to the south bank of the river. The street will have a total width of 140 feet, having a roadway 100 feet in width, curb to curb, and two 20 foot walks. Islands having a width of about 10 feet will be placed in the center of the the street. The net width of the roadway will be 90 feet. If a deduction for a line of parking on each side of the street is made, the effective width for moving traffic will be 74 feet, which will provide four lines of moving traffic in each direction. The section of the improvement extending along the south bank from the line of the Outer Drive in Grant Park to the bridge over the main river, has a width of 140 feet, with provision for a 24 foot walk along the south side of the street and a 16 foot walk on the river side. The roadway will have a width of 100 feet, having the same capacity for traffic as described for the section crossing the Illinois Central property. The bridge over the river, and also the one over Michigan Canal, will have a width of 108 feet with provision for two 14 foot walks, a center island 4 feet in width, and two 38 foot roadways. The two 38 foot roadways will have capacity for four lines of moving traffic in each direction. The capacity on the bridge for moving traffic would be the same as that on the approaches, considering the deductions for center islands and parking, as parking is not permitted on bridges. At the north and south ends of the bridge over the river large oval shaped plazas will be provided, giving ample capacity for the turning of vehicles and space for storage. From the north plaza to Ohio Street, the width of the 4 32 h- improvement will be 139 feet, having a 24 foot walk along the west side of the street in anticipation of an intensive building development which will undoubtedly take place, and for a 15 foot walk along the east side of the street. East of the drive there is very little area available for building development. The roadway will have a width of 100 feet from curb to curb, the same width as south of the river. Traffic Connections — North End At Ohio Street the 100 foot roadway of the new improve- ment will connect with the present 30 foot roadway on Ohio Street and the 50 foot roadway on Lake Shore Drive — the new improvement having considerably more capacity for traffic than its feeders. It is expected, however, that the roadway on Ohio Street will be widened to 56 feet and that Lake Shore Drive will be widened with provision for two 50 foot roadways in the not distant future, so that the roadway on the new improvement will have the same capacity as the feeders will ultimately have. Traffic Connections — South End The south plaza of the new bridge is designed so that the outer driveway can be extended due south from the bridge to Randolph Street. At the junction where the Outer Drive turns from the south bank of the river to the line of the Outer Drive in Grant Park, provision is made in the design of the inter- section for the future connection of the proposed extension of East Wacker Drive. It is proposed to make this extension 112 feet wide with provision for a 72 foot roadway, a 24 foot walk along the south side of the street and a 16 foot walk along the river side. At the south end of the new improvement at Randolph Street, the 100 foot roadway terminates in a large plaza formed by the intersection of these streets. South of Ran- dolph Street the Outer Drive in Grant Park has a width of 140 feet, which provides for a 100 foot roadway and two 20 foot walks. Randolph Street, the feeder from the loop, will have a total width of 128 feet with provision for an 84 foot roadway, curb 4 3^h to curb, with a 24 foot sidewalk on the north side and a 20 foot sidewalk on the south side of the viaduct. While the combined roadways of Randolph Street and the Outer Drive south of the plaza have a total width of 84 feet greater than the roadway of the structure north of the plaza, a part of the roadways on these feeders is used for traffic flowing between the loop and the south side. Considering the amount of through traffic which the Outer Drive will be called upon to handle and the portion of the north side traffic which will enter the Outer Drive at Randolph Street, also East Wacker Drive when it has been completed, a roadway width of 100 feet is the minimum width that should be considered for the new structure, particularly as this is the farthest east street that will be provided in the street transportation plan. The roadway of Michigan Avenue south of the bridge is 75 feet. It will be recalled that when the improvement was originally planned, this width was considered too great by some people. Today this thoroughfare is badly congested. While traffic on the Michigan Avenue bridge will be re- duced temporarily when the Outer Drive is functioning, the steady increase in the number of automobiles will soon fill the gap, throwing the burden of future increases on the Outer Drive bridge. It would be a shortsighted policy to make the roadway less than 100 feet in width, in view of the certain growth of traffic. If in the future the Outer Drive is taxed to its capacity, additional crossings over the Chicago River will have to be provided between the Outer Drive and Michigan Avenue, such as McClurg Court. Mezzanine Level A mezzanine level has been indicated on the plans, extend- ing along Randolph Street to its junction with the Outer Drive, thence north across the Illinois Central property to the south bank of the river, eastward along the south bank of the river to the bridge, thence north across the bridge over the river and on the north approach as far as North Water Street. The mezzanine level has provision for two six foot side- OUTER DRIVE COMMITTEE OF THE CHICAGO PLAN COMMISSION James Simpson Chairman John V, Farwell Harry A. Wheeler uHivERsaY OF ia\«o^ walks and two 30 foot roadways in the clear. It will provide for three lanes of moving traffic in each direction. If desir- able, the mezzanine level can be made the full width of the structure or extended on one side only to contact with private property along the improvement. The lower level will be of great value in giving commer- cial traffic access to the district north and south of the river east of Michigan Avenue. Considering that the Outer Drive Improvement will be restricted to boulevard traffic, some provision must ultimately be made for handling commercial traffic, particularly when the district north and south of the river has been intensively developed. Interchange of traffic north and south of the river, or traffic which has its destina- tion in either district, at the present time is required to take the lower level of the Michigan Avenue bridge, which has a limited capacity — the roadways on the bridge being only 18 feet in width. The lower level of the Michigan Avenue bridge will be inadequate to handle all the commercial traffic in this district after the district has been intensively developed. Provision for the mezzanine level outlet in the thorough- fares both north and south of the river at an elevation to clear railroad tracks will make possible a two-level street develop- ment in these areas which will be of great advantage to prop- erty development bound to take place in this district, in that such buildings can get boulevard service on the upper level, commercial service on the mezzanine level, and railroad serv- ice on the lower level — an ideal combination for the highest and best use of the property. Even though this mezzanine is not constructed in the initial improvement, provision should be made both in the matter of clearance and structural connections to facilitate its place- ment later on. It would be a mistake not to do so. Architectural Treatment It is recommended that the architectural features of the bridge be made monumental in character; that the plazas and pylons be executed in granite or stone. Provision is being made in the design for two elliptically shaped plazas 172 feet Assy by 283 feet, supported on large stone arches of classic design, surmounted by ornamental balustrades and pylons. At each corner of the bridge will be located ornamental bridge houses constructed of stone in the Doric style of architecture. These houses will be 20 feet square and will have a height of 49 feet above the bridge floor. Wide stair- ways leading to the dock level and enclosed within a curved stone wall will be provided at each bridge house. The total height of the bridge pylons will be equivalent to an eight story building, and all exterior surface of the steel work such as facial girders, columns and brackets, will be covered with stone, the balustrades on the approaches to be designed in harmony with the architectural treatment of the plazas. This bridge will become the gateway to the Chicago River from Lake Michigan. Its appearance should be im- posing, dignified and monumental in character. (See Draw- ings No. 177, 178, 179, 180 and 181.) Tunnel Connection and High Level Bridge Comparative Merits of Alternate Methods of Crossing the Chicago River at the Outer Drive — being a Comparison between the Two-level Bascule Bridge as recommended in this Report, a High-level Fixed Bridge having Clearance for Masted Vessels, and a Tunnel under the Chicago River. Tunnel or Subway (See Drawing No. 182) Advantage The principal advantage of a tunnel under the Chicago River is that it would provide an uninterrupted thoroughfare for traffic. The delay due to bridge openings would be avoided. Disadvantages There are many important objections to the construction of a tunnel. (1) The principal one is that the tunnel would have to be constructed at such depth under the river bed that the approaches would be excessively long and no contact would be practicable with adjacent property in the district extending from Superior Street to Madison Street. These approaches, based on a 3.25 per cent grade, would be approximately 2,140 feet long on the south and 2,000 feet long on the north, with 1,000 feet of level connection between them. This would mean that all property north and south of the river east of Michigan Avenue would have no street communication across the river in that district. 2. This large tract of land, which is in the line of city development, would be isolated. With the growth of Chicago, it is imperative that this area be developed and used — its location being most favorable, in fact strategic with respect to high-class development. The tunnel would be of little value to these large tracts of land, which have an area about equal to our present loop district. A city should be per- mitted to develop in a systematic and orderly way. The city grows as a result of promotion of its commercial interests. The policy should be to foster, promote and aid that develop- ment rather than to create an improvement which will retard it. 3. With reference to the cost of construction and engineer- ing features: A tunnel under the Chicago River will cost several times more than a movable bridge of the same width and capacity. This has been proved time and time again when investigations have been made in connection with rapid transit subways. The cost of maintaining and operating the bridge is less than the cost of lighting, ventilating, and pump- ing the tunnel. 4. (a) Absence of light and air and perpetual large expense to supply same. (b) Subways and tunnels have only been constructed when other methods are impractical or impossible. The trav- eling public dislikes subways and tunnels and does not volun- tarily use them because of the grades and the deficiency of natural light and fresh air. Tunnels have always been lim- ited in width and capacity on account of their excessive cost of construction and maintenance. The undesirable features of drainage and ventilation are being largely met in modern tunnel construction, but even though the greatest precaution is taken to overcome these dif- ficulties, they are always sources of potential danger, and the efficient working of apparatus to insure safety to the traveling public involves a constant overhead expense of no mean proportions. There is always the objection that tunnel construction will take longer than the construction of a bridge with viaduct approaches. There is a further objection that since there are no intermediate streets to distribute the traffic, all traffic must find distribution at the mouths of the tunnel. This means traffic congestion and the necessity of providing large plazas at these points. 5. Modern vessels require a channel having a minimum depth of 26 feet. In order to meet this requirement, the floor of the tunnel would have to be placed about 66 feet below the street level. Therefore, in order to cross the Chicago River, which has a width of about 325 feet at this point, and the Michigan Canal, about 130 feet in width, using a 3.25 per cent grade on the roadway, it would require a tunnel and approaches 5,140 feet in length. All traffic would have to travel a distance of approximately 3,340 feet under ground. The traffic of masted vessels on the Chicago River has so decreased that there are only about 2,000 openings of the Michigan Avenue bridge per year, or an average of 5^^ openings per day. No bridge within the city on any day of the week, except- ing Sunday, is opened across the main river and across the south branch of the Chicago River from its junction with the main river south to and including Roosevelt Road and across the north branch of the river at West Kinzie Street, between the hours of 7:00 and 9:30 A. M. and 4:30 and 6:30 P. M. This gives a total of 19^ bridge hours per day. There is, therefore, on an average of 3>2 hours of uninterrupted traffic between openings. In 1927 the largest number of openings in any one month was 254. It is expected that there will be 240 openings in the month of heaviest river traffic in 1928. This gives an average of 8 openings per day, resulting in an interval of < 38 h LINCOLN PARK STAFF LiDA M. Thomas Secretary Emil a. W. Johnson General Superintendent William H. Peckman- Attorney George Woodruff Treasurer Eugene H. Dupee Special Counsel on Outer Drive Louis S. Schuttner Assistant Engineer u>- 'HY ^'^^ifsirr ' OF ^''f'lm nearly 2^ hours between openings at the time of the year when river traffic is greatest. The largest number of openings on the day of heaviest river traffic in 1926 amounted to 18. In 1927 the maximum number on any one day was 16 open- ings. It is calculated that in the future the maximum num- ber of openings during any one day will be 12. One-half of the openings are made between the hours of 9:30 A. M. and 4:30 P. M. — the day time bridge hours. So that even for an exceptional condition occurring only once or twice in a year there will be an interval of about one hour between openings during the day time bridge hours, which are between the vehicle rush hours. The average duration of time for a bridge opening is four minutes. During the month of minimum river traffic there will be on an average of only two bridge openings a day — a total of eight minutes' delay to vehicle traffic, which is of comparatively little consequence. The tendency is for a decline in the use of the river by masted vessels. The proposed bridge will provide a clearance of 22 feet under the lower chord when closed. This will give ample clearance for barges, lighters, car ferrys, etc. Consider- ing that the average interval for the entire year between bridge openings is ZYz hours and that the average interval between openings during the rush season of river traffic is ZYz hours, and considering further that during the maximum hours of vehicle traffic the bridges do not open at all, there is no justification for the construction of a tunnel at tremen- dous cost on account of the delay to motor vehicle traffic caused by bridge openings. The entrance to the tunnel south of the river would be located at Madison Street, if the grade on the roadway is made 3.25 per cent. There are two reasons why it would be impracticable to have the south entrance at or immediately north of Randolph Street. One is that the approach would cut through the space now occupied by the track facilities of the Illinois Central Railroad. The second is that it would require an undesirable grade on the roadway to reach the Randolph Street level in the distance available. ^39 V On the other hand, a tunnel portal placed at Madison Street would require a rearrangement of the driveways and park development in the vicinity of Randolph Street. North side traffic, in order to contact with the proposed commercial district along Randolph Street would have to turn north again after emerging from the tunnel. North of the river the portal would be located at Superior Street. In order to connect with the intermediate streets be- tween the river and Superior Street, a back movement of vehicles to these streets would be necessary. This would be productive of congestion. In the recommended plan, traffic is distributed directly from the main thoroughfare by lateral thoroughfares. In the tunnel scheme, traffic emerging from the tunnel would have difficulty in clearing unless large plazas were provided. 6. If a tunnel connection were made, it would delay the development of adjacent property both north and south of the river, because there would be no access to this property. The city would be the loser in the long run because of the loss of tax revenue. The extension of Wacker Drive east of Michi- gan Avenue would be delayed indefinitely. There would be no direct connection between the Outer Drive and the north side of the loop district south of the river. High Bridge A fixed bridge would have to be 130 feet clear above the river level to be high enough to allow the passage of masted vessels, and would have all the objectionable features of a tunnel with respect to long and steep grades. The cost of construction and maintenance would be intensified, because of the greater height and length. A high-level, fixed bridge having sufficient clearance for masted vessels would be much more expensive than a low- level structure having a movable span. The north approach would extend along the lake front as far north as Walton Place and the south approach as far south as Jackson Boule- vard. The total distance between the foot of the approaches 4 40 > would be 8,620 feet or 1.6 miles. Regardless of the monu- mental appearance such a structure would have, there would be an aesthetic loss because of the masking of the view of the lake from the properties adjacent to Lake Shore Drive. Experience has shown that where such high bridges have been created, there has been a depreciation of the properties adjacent to the approaches. The advantage a high-level, fixed bridge has over the low- level bridge is that the interruption to traffic caused by the passage of vessels would be eliminated by the construction of the high-level bridge. The small number of bridge open- ings, however, does not justify the additional expense. The suggestion has been made that the approaches to the high-level bridge be made comparatively short and that the prairie dweller's antipathy to heavy grades give way to the practical requirements of this proposed solution of the prob- lem of bridging the mouth of the river. It is pointed out that in cities where there are great differ- ences in elevation, vehicles negotiate the heavy grades with ease. If the north approach of this proposed bridge were brought to grade at Ohio Street to connect with the Municipal Pier, the resulting average grade would be about 18 per cent. If the south approach were brought to grade at the north line of Randolph Street, the resultant grade on that approach would be about 10}^ per cent. These foregoing grades are given for comparison with existing gradients in Chicago and elsewhere with the idea of determining what is the proper and safe gradient for the approaches of such a bridge. The east grade in the Washington Street car line tunnel is about 10 per cent and the west grade is about 8 per cent. The grades in the LaSalle Street tunnel are about 6 per cent. The practice in building main roads in the mountains of the west is to keep the maximum grades below 12 per cent. The steepest main roads in the west have maximum grades of about 17 per cent and only the most experienced drivers travel them. 4 41 ^ The steepest grades in San Francisco which are used to any great extent are less than 10 per cent in gradient. Acci- dents due to brake failure and stalled engines are frequent on these grades. The steepest gradient on the Michigan Avenue improve- ment — that from Ohio Street to Grand Avenue — is but a little over 3 per cent. In cities v^^here comparatively steep grades are common, drivers are experienced in handling their cars on these grades. Their cars are adjusted to be safe on these grades. In Chi- cago this is not the case. One or two extreme gradients in the city would not give drivers sufficient experience to handle their cars safely on such grades. We know of no street in America, carrying any consider- able bulk of traffic, which exceeds an 8 per cent gradient. In our opinion, considering the length of the approach to this proposed bridge, the maximum gradient which could be con- sidered from the standpoint of traffic safety would be 6 per cent. If the convenience of the motorist were to be fully con- sidered, the gradient should not exceed 3 or 4 per cent. The construction of a high-level bridge over the mouth of the river at the Outer Drive would meet with stiff public opposition. Some idea of the sentiment of the press can be had from the following statement appearing in one of the daily papers: "A bridge 160 feet high would mean erecting a mountain ridge between the city and the lake. The proposed bridge would be over three times as high as the Boulevard bridge and its approaches extending, we should say, beyond Division Street on the north and an equal distance on the south, and would run most of our lower north side streets into an en- bankment or up inclines. "We think the structure would be a monstrosity, even if it were designed by the most gifted architect in the world." 4 42 h SOUTH PARK STAFF Milton E. Connelly Secretary George T.

RrcH\RDS Assistant Superintendent Linn White Chief Engineer OKIVEfiSITY OF ILLINOIS Low-Level Bridge Connection Advantages \. Traffic on the Outer Drive will not be interrupted by cross traffic, because there will be no streets east of the Outer Drive. 2. The roadway grades on the approaches to the Outer Drive bridge will be moderate, being approximately 3 per cent, the same as on the north approach to the Michigan Ave- nue bridge. The width of the roadway, the grades and the alignment are such that they will promote the highest and best use of pri- vate property on both sides of the river, similar to that existing along Michigan Avenue. 3. A bridge over the river having viaduct approaches placed at an elevation to permit of the construction later on of a mezzanine level, will make possible the development of a very flexible street system in this area. In order to promote the highest and best use of both the Illinois Central property and the property north of the river, it will be necessary to have adequate street facilities both for commercial and for boulevard traffic. A two-level bridge with adequate ap- proaches thereto will afford this access. 4. It is improbable that an intensive development would take place in these areas without street access. 5. Another advantage the deck bridge with viaduct ap- proaches will have is the opportunity given traffic to com- plete its trip in the open, the motorist having a fine view of the lake front. Many millions of dollars have been spent and many mil- lions more are to be invested in the development of the lake front south of Randolph Street. 6. The completion of the Outer Drive will give direct and convenient access not only to the loop district, but also will function as an important by-pass for through traffic which does not desire to stop in the loop. 7. An imposing structure at this location will perma- nently mark the gateway to Chicago from the lake. 8. The river is a great asset to the city today. It promoted ♦♦(43^ its development in the beginning, and while it has now lost its importance in a commercial way for lake going vessels, it has potential value for lighters and barges ; but greater than this, perhaps, is its value to the city from an aesthetic and humanitarian point of view. It will be one of the finest assets this city can have if its banks are beautified on both sides in a manner similar to Wacker Drive. The river affords light and air, in fact, a breathing spot in the heart of an intensively built up district. A river is a desirable and delight- ful feature of a city. This fact has been well recognized in other cities of the world such as Paris, London and Berlin. Disadvantages The movable bridge is opposed by some on the grounds of delay to traffic due to bridge openings. As stated before, the delay to traffic due to bridge openings is of little consequence, and is decreasing every year, because of the fact that passen- ger steamers now dock at the municipal pier and there is very little remaining traffic of masted vessels on the river. Even this delay may be considered as temporary for the reason that when the policy of fixed bridges has been adopted there will be few if any bridge openings at this point. Probably the most extensive study regarding the relative merits of a subway, tunnel and high-level bridge for crossing a navigable waterway as compared with a movable bridge was made for the crossing of the Thames River at the site of the Tower Bridge, London, England. That investigation re- sulted in the adoption of the movable bridge, even though the only feasible type of bridge then available was very expensive. It is recognized that the structure which carries the Outer Drive from the north side to the south side should be monu- mental in character and that it would be poor economy to create a structure at this important point which would meet only the bare engineering requirements of the problem. It would, however, be much more desirable and practicable to construct a low-level bridge which would be monumental in appearance than it would be to construct a high-level struc- ture of that character. Comparative Costs The cost of a tunnel, 108 feet wide, exclusive of land and building damages, amounts to approximately $16,000,000. The cost of a high-level bridge, 108 feet in width, exclusive of land and building damages, amounts to approximately $14,000,000. The cost of a low-level bridge, 108 feet wide — the plan recommended in Study No. 2 — exclusive of land and build- ing damages, is approximately $8,000,000. The low-level plan recommended will, therefore, cost $6,000,000 less than a high-level bridge and $8,000,000 less than a tunnel. At the same time, it gives 32 feet of additional roadway space on the approaches for parking and safety islands, and has the further great advantage that it gives access to the adjacent property both north and south of the river, opening up large areas for high-class commercial development. Recommendations It is recommended that the Outer Drive improvement be developed in accordance with Study No. 2, as shown on the accompanying drawings, which provide for the following main features: (1) A high-level street 140 feet in width which will extend the Outer Drive from Randolph Street north to the south bank of the river — this thoroughfare to have a roadway width of 100 feet and two sidewalks each 20 feet in width. (See Drawing No. 103.) (2) A high-level street 140 feet in width along the south bank of the river, comprising the eastern part of the proposed Wacker Drive extension, having a roadway width of 100 feet, a south walk 24 feet in width and a north walk 16 feet in width, this structure to be set back from the river so as to pro- vide space for the flood gate which may be constructed by the Sanitary District; also for a wide dock for marine landing. (See Drawing No. 103.) (3) A two leaf bascule bridge over the Chicago River, hav- ing a width of 108 feet with provision for two 38 foot road- ways, two walks each 14 feet wide, a center island 4 feet wide, clearance between masonry 220 feet and clearance for navi- gation 210 feet. (See Drawing No. 163.) (4) A high-level street 139 feet in width, except for the bridge over the Ogden Slip, extending from the north plaza of the bridge across the river to the north line of Grand Ave- nue, having a roadway width of 100 feet, the east walk being 15 feet in width and the west walk 24 feet in width. (See Drawing No. 102.) (5) A single leaf bascule bridge over the Ogden Slip hav- ing a width of 108 feet with provision for two 38 foot road- ways, a center island 4 feet wide and two walks each 14 feet in width. (6) A filled approach 139 feet in width and extending from the north line of Grand Avenue to the north line of Ohio Street, connecting the high level at Grand Avenue with the normal street level at Ohio Street, having a roadway width of 100 feet and a walk along the east side of the street IS feet wide and on the west side 24 feet. (See Drawing No. 102.) (7) That provision be made both in the structural and architectural design for (a) the future extension of Randolph Street (see Drawing No. 162), (b) the extension of the Outer Drive south from the bridge along the eastern edge of the Illinois Central property to Randolph Street, as shown in dotted lines on Drawings Nos. 116 and 103, (c) for the future connection of the proposed Wacker Drive extension between the Outer Drive and Michigan Avenue (Drawing No. 103), (d) for a connection with the suggested north bank drive extending west from the north plaza (Drawing No. 164), and (e) for all intermediate streets such as Lake Street and South Water Street south of the river, and for Illinois Street and possibly North Water Street north of the river. (8) That provision be made in the design of the ap- proaches and viaduct for the addition later on of a mezzanine level, if and when such facility becomes desirable. This means provision in the original structure for additional loading, structural connections, suitable clearances for both rail traffic 4^> CHICAGO PLAN COMMISSION STAFF Eugene S. Taylor Manager Hugh E. Young Chief Engineer below and commercial traffic above such level, this level to have a clear roadway space not less than 60 feet in width — also walks for pedestrian traffic. (9) That the new Randolph Street viaduct approach be made 128 feet in width with provision for an 84 foot road- way and two walks — one 24 feet wide and the other 20 feet wide — the design to provide for the future construction of a mezzanine level, the architectural features, grades, elevations and structural features to be made in accordance with the accompanying Drawing No. 162. (10) That the grades on the roadway shall not exceed those shown on the drawings. (11) That the architectural features of the bridge be monu- mental in character, the plazas and pylons to be executed in stone, the viaducts to have ornamental stone balustrades and light pylons. Permanently exposed exterior surfaces to be covered with ornamental stone, the arrangement to be such that the ensemble of pylons, stairways to the dock, plazas and bridge structure will have a pleasing and harmonious appearance, a fitting gateway to Chicago from the lake.

Zander, seconded by Mr. George C. Nimmons, the following resolution was adopted by a vote of 180 to 1 : "Whereas the long and intensive study which the Chicago Plan Commission has made of the best method by which the Outer Drive in Grant Park may be connected with Lake Shore Drive north of the river has resulted in a plan which will meet the situation to the best possible advantage, and at the same time be the most economical of all the numerous alternate routes and types of construction that have been considered; now, therefore, be it ^'-Resolved: That the Chicago Plan Commission, in session June 27, 1927, recommend to the Commissioners of Lincoln Park, and to the Board of South Park Commissioners, that the proposed Outer Drive improvement be developed in accordance with Study No. 2, as shown on the accompanying Drawings No. 102, 103, 105, 116 and 117, dated September 1926, July 1926, March 1927 and April 1927, respectively— which provide for the following main features: *'l. A high-level street 140 feet wide which will extend the Outer Drive from Randolph Street north to the south bank of the river, this thoroughfare to have a roadway width of 100 feet and two sidewalks each 20 feet in width. "2. A high-level street 140 feet wide along the south bank of the river, comprising the eastern part of the proposed Wacker Drive extension, having a roadway width of 100 feet, a south walk 24 feet in width and a north walk 16 feet in width, this structure to be set back from the river edge to provide a dock 20 feet wide, the architectural treatment to be similar to that of Wacker Drive. "3. A two-leaf bascule bridge over the Chicago River hav- ing a width of 108 feet with provision for two 38 foot road- ways, two walks each 14 feet wide, clearance between masonry 220 feet and clearance for navigation 210 feet. "4. A high-level street 139 feet in width, except for the bridge over the Ogden Slip, extending from the north plaza of the bridge across the Chicago River to the north line of Grand Avenue, having a roadway width of 100 feet, the east walk being 15 feet in width and the west walk 24 feet in width. ^A9y "5. A single leaf bascule bridge over the Ogden Slip having a width of 108 feet with provision for two 38 foot roadways and two walks each 14 feet in width. "6. A filled approach 139 feet in width and extending from the north line of Grand Avenue to the north line of Ohio Street, connecting the high level at Grand Avenue with the normal street level at Ohio Street, having a roadway width of 100 feet and a walk along the east side of the street 15 feet wide and on the west side 24 feet. "7. That provision be made in both the structural and architectural design for (a) the future extension of Randolph Street, (b) the extension of the Outer Drive south from the bridge along the eastern edge of the Illinois Central property, to Randolph Street, as shown in dotted lines on Drawing No. 116, (c) for the future connection of the proposed Wacker Drive extension between the Outer Drive and Michigan Ave- nue, (d) for a connection with the suggested north bank drive extending west from the north plaza, and (e) for all inter- mediate streets such as Lake Street and South Water Street south of the river; and for Illinois Street and possibly North Water Street north of the river. "8. That provision be made in the design of the approaches and viaduct for the addition later on of a mezzanine level, if and when such facility becomes desirable. This means provi- sion in the original structure for additional loading, struc- tural connections, suitable clearances for both rail traffic below and commercial traffic above such level, this level to have a clear roadway space not less than 60 feet in width — also walks for pedestrian traffic. "9. That the new Randolph Street viaduct approach be made 128 feet in width with provision for an 84 foot roadway and two walks — 24 feet wide on the north side and 20 feet wide on the south side of the viaduct — the design to provide for the future construction of a mezzanine level, the archi- tectural features, grades, elevations and structural features to be made in accordance with the accompanying Drawing No. 103. "10. That the grades on the roadway shall not exceed those shown on the drawings, the maximum being 4.3 per cent on the north approach between Grand Avenue and Illinois Street. "11. That the architectural features of the bridge be monu- mental in character, the plazas and pylons to be executed in 4S0h stone, the viaducts to have ornamental stone balustrades and light pylons. Permanently exposed exterior surfaces to be covered with ornamental stone, the arrangement to be such that the ensemble of pylons, stairways to the dock, plazas and bridge structure will have a pleasing and harmonious appear- ance, a fitting gateway to Chicago from the lake." Following this meeting of the Plan Commission, its recom- mendations concerning the Outer Drive connection were duly forwarded to the presidents of the Lincoln Park and South Park boards. The Federal Government owned a small piece of land on the north bank of the Chicago River just west of the turning basin that was used in the lighthouse service. This property is directly in the pathway of the proposed Outer Drive (See Drawing No. 174.) Therefore on September 16, 1927, the manager of the Chicago Plan Commission, Mr. Eugene S. Taylor, and its chief engineer, Mr. Hugh E. Young, called at the local office of the Lighthouse Service in Milwaukee, Wis., and interviewed Captain Charles H. Hubbard, Superin- tendent of Lighthouse Service. By good fortune. Commis- sioner George Putnam of the Lighthouse Service, Depart- ment of Commerce, Washington, D. C, chanced to be in Captain Hubbard's office, so that the suggestion of the Plan Commission that this piece of government property be ex- changed for another piece of land of similar dimensions in that same general locality, owned by the City of Chicago, was presented to the commissioner as well as the local representa- tive of the Lighthouse Service. The suggestion met with in- stant approval, subject to certain necessary enabling legisla- tion being passed by the Congress of the United States and the City Council of Chicago. Late in December, 1927, Mr. Eugene R. Pike was named President of the Lincoln Park Board, to succeed Mr. Jackson, resigned. On December 28, 1927, Chairman James Simpson of the Chicago Plan Commission addressed the following letter to President Pike: 4 5\h "Dear Mr. Pike: In accordance with your request, I outline below the situa- tion with respect to the proposed Outer Drive connection between Lake Shore Drive and the Outer Drive in Grant Park. The technical staff of the Chicago Plan Commission de- voted many months to this problem and prepared detailed plans and estimates of cost for seven alternate routes which this proposed Outer Drive connection might follow. You will find on file in the offices of the Lincoln Park Board a portfolio entitled, 'Outer Drive Improvement — Alternate Studies and Estimates, February, 1927.' Study No. 2 in this volume covers the plan which was tentatively agreed to some time ago at a meeting attended by representatives of the Lincoln Park Board, the South Park Board, the Chicago Plan Commission, and other govern- mental agencies. This plan and the accompanying estimates of cost will be found on pages 18 to 47 of this volume. In brief the recommended plan provides for extending Lake Shore Drive directly south from its present terminus at Ohio Street to and across the Chicago River. South of the river the Outer Drive is to extend west along the proposed extension of Wacker Drive to a point directly north of the existing Outer Drive in Grant Park, with which drive it is to connect by means of a viaduct over the Illinois Central tracks. There are no obstacles in the way of this extension in the block between Ohio Street and Grand Avenue, inasmuch as the property on the east side of the drive is publicly owned, and that on the west side has been taken care of to the satis- faction of the owners by minor adjustments of grade. The property between Grand Avenue and the Chicago River, through which this street is to extend, is owned by the Chicago Dock and Canal Company. Negotiations have been under way for some time with Mr. W. O. Green, the repre- sentative of this property. The plans have been worked out to a point of mutual agreement in so far as physical conditions are concerned, but there is a difference of $1,014,000 between their values and the value placed upon their property by the technical staff of the Chicago Plan Commission. It has been suggested that the Lincoln Park Board institute condemnation proceedings covering this Outer Drive im- provement. If this is done, it is hoped that the difference in the estimated values can be adjusted during the period that the condemnation proceedings are in progress. If a mutually satisfactory agreement covering the financial item can be reached in time to permit a court decision within the next three months, then construction w^ork could start next Spring and possibly be completed by the Fall of 1929. It is planned that the Lincoln Park Board and the South Park Commissioners shall share equally in the cost of the bridge across the Chicago River, and that each park board shall bear the cost of the approach thereto coming within its own jurisdiction. At the election of November, 1926, the people of the South Park district authorized the issuance of $5,000,000 of bonds by the South Park Commissioners to pay one-half the cost of the Outer Drive bridge and the cost of the south approach thereto. At that same election the people of the Lincoln Park district authorized the issuance of $3,000,000 of bonds to pay the other half of the bridge cost, and the cost of the north approach. Inasmuch as the bonds so authorized amount to $2,000,000 less than the estimated cost of the Lincoln Park Board's share of the Outer Drive improvement, at the last session of the State Legislature the Plan Commission, with the assistance of others, secured the necessary authorization from the legis- lature for the Lincoln Park Board to issue $2,000,000 more bonds for the outer drive project. No election having oc- curred since this permission was granted, this bond issue, of course, has not yet been submitted to the voters for approval. Inasmuch as the South Park Commissioners have the $5,000,000 mentioned above, and as I am reliably informed that no obstacles remain in the way south of the river, is not the time at hand for the park boards to take official action 4 53h approving this Outer Drive plan, so that the necessary Fed- eral and State bridge permits may be requested and so that the Lincoln Park Board may initiate the condemnation suit suggested ? Our technical staff under the direction of Hugh E. Young, engineer, in the development of the plans for this Outer Drive connection has worked in close harmony and co-operation not only with the engineering departments of the Lincoln Park and South Park boards, but also with the Federal and State departments and the Sanitary District of Chicago. The plan has been harmonized with the harbor plans worked out by Major Rufus W. Putnam for The Commer- cial Club of Chicago. Major Putnam was formerly U. S. Government engineer here. His successor, Colonel Edward H. Schulz, is thoroughly familiar with the plan and, I am informed, is awaiting only official action on the part of the two park boards asking governmental approval of the plans for the bridges across the river and the Ogden Slip. The State Waterway department, M. G. Barnes, chief engineer, is likewise equally familiar with the plan, and, I understand, is also awaiting its submission for official ap- proval. Both the Federal and State governments must issue the necessary permits for these bridges. I am told that the South Park Commissioners are ready and willing to join with the Lincoln Park Board in asking for the permit for the bridge over the river. The permit for the bridge over the slip requires action, I believe, by Lincoln Park alone since the slip is wholly within the Lincoln Park jurisdiction. I might add, for your fuller information, that the plan for this Outer Drive connection makes provision for the flood gate which the Sanitary District has agreed to construct near the mouth of the river for the purpose of controlling the flow of water in the river at flood times. It is my understanding that the District is anxious to keep its agreement with the Federal Government to have this flood gate complete by 1929, and that the physical conditions of that area are such that the location of this flood gate alongside the Outer Drive bridge is desirable. 4S4h / ■ rr rmi r» iTifc — ( *^ i^M ■'• '■■ i«.M During your previous administration you devoted so much time and effort to the advancement of this proposed Outer Drive connection that I know you are fully aware of its tremendous necessity and the great relief to traffic which will result from its construction. I am aware of the fact that it is your purpose, as president of the Lincoln Park Board, to carry out these greatly needed public improvements at top speed. Therefore I offer you whatever assistance the Chicago Plan Commission can give in bringing about immediate of- ficial action, in jointly requesting the needed governmental bridge permits, and in serving in any other way. Early completion of this Outer Drive connection will sig- nalize to the people of the Lincoln Park district your well- known vision, public spirit, and efficiency in the doing of those things which will result in the greatest good for the people of your district. Sincerely yours, (Signed) James Simpson." The first meeting of the new Lincoln Park Board was held January 3, 1928. President Pike presented Chairman Simp- son's letter to the board, and named a committee consisting of Commissioners Robert H. Morse, John R. Thompson and Alexander Fyfe to investigate the matter and report a recom- mendation at the next meeting of the board. A meeting of this sub-committee was held on January 10, 1928, at which consideration was given to the recommenda- tions of the Plan Commission and alternative suggestions offered by representatives of the Chicago Dock and Canal Company and others. The meeting of the Lincoln Park Board was held on Jan- uary 11, 1928. The Plan Commission was not represented at this meeting, but the Chicago Tribune, issue of January 12, 1928, states: "While it was decided to postpone action until James Simp- son, chairman of the Chicago Plan Commission, could be heard, a report of the meeting of the link bridge committee on Tuesday was submitted. * * * The committee reported that it had concerned itself mainly with the proposal of W. O. Green that the bridge be routed to span the river at the foot of the Municipal Pier instead of further west, according to the recommendation of the Plan Commission. Mr. Pike in- dicated his approval of this plan or one that would not traverse private property when he said that work could be started two or three years sooner could condemnation proceedings be avoided." On January 11, 1928, the Chicago Plan Commission sent the following letter to President Eugene R. Pike of the Lincoln Park Board: "Dear Mr. Pike: In accordance with the request of Engineer Marbach, I am sending you the following Chicago Plan drawings, relative to the Outer Drive improvement. All of the drawings have reference to Study No. 2, which is the plan recommended by the Chicago Plan Commission. Drawing No. 116 — Study showing proposed boulevard con- nection between Grant Park and Lincoln Park. Drawing No. 112 — Study showing land and buildings af- fected by proposed boulevard connection between Grant Park and Lincoln Park. Drawing No. 1 17 — Showing Outer Drive Improvement be- tween Chicago River and Ohio Street. Drawing No. 150 — Showing relation of Outer Drive Im- provement to North Pier Terminal building. Drawing No. 161 — Showing relation of viaduct floor to proposed building to be erected by the Robert Gair Company. Drawing No. 135 and Drawing No. 136 — Showing rela- tion of north approach to the Bowes Building. The above plans show the general features of the proposed improvement. We are now completing about seven or eight additional drawings which show the latest modifications with respect to the grades of the roadway, the features of the pro- posed ramp in North Water Street, the width, outline of trusses, and the architectural features of both the main bridge and the bridge over the slip, and the architectural features of the bridge plazas. 4 56 h These general design plans also show the character of the structure south of the Chicago River, and have been developed in accordance with agreements reached in conference with the South Park Commission and the Illinois Central Railroad. The supplemental plans will also cover the changes made in dimensions and elevations agreed upon in conferences with the Chicago Dock and Canal Company. It is expected that these drawings will be completed in about two weeks. Very truly yours, (Signed) HUGH E. YoUNG, Engineer." On February 6, 1928, Attorney Eugene H. Dupee was en- gaged by the Lincoln Park Board as special counsel for the Commissioners of Lincoln Park in re the Outer Drive Improvement. On April 6, 1928, the Chicago Plan Commission sent the following letter to Mr. Dupee: ''Dear Mr. Dupee: In accordance with the request which you made at our recent conference on the Outer Drive Improvement, I am submitting the following suggestions in regard to certain steps to be taken if this improvement is to be carried out in the shortest possible time. This program is based on the assumption that the Lincoln Park and South Park boards will adopt Plan No. 2 recom- mended by the Chicago Plan Commission, which provides for the extension of Lake Shore Drive south from Ohio Street across the property' of the Chicago Dock and Canal Company and across Michigan Canal to the south bank of the Chicago River, thence west along the south bank to the north and south line of the Outer Drive in Grant Park, thence south along this line, which is the axis of the Field Museum, across the Illinois Central property to Randolph Street, there linking with the completed Outer Drive in Grant Park. Official approval of Plan No. 2 by the two park boards will greatly expedite matters, as it will immediately dispel any possible uncertainty' as to the route this outer drive connection 4 57 ^^ will follow and will cause immediate steps to be taken by all interested parties toward the completion of the improvement. The carrying out of this improvement under the Special Assessment Act requires the following preparation with re- spect to plans, specifications and estimates : 1. An official survey of the site of the proposed improvement. Note: This work is now under way and will be completed by April 15, 1928. 2. General plans showing the character and extent of the entire improvement, both north and south of the river, are required. Note: These plans have been completed by the Chicago Plan Commission and have been submitted to the officials of the park boards. 3. Detailed plans of design, specifications and estimates are required immediately in connection with the condemna- tion proceedings for the section of the improvement on the north side of the river extending from Ohio Street to the center line of the Chicago River. As no steps have been taken in this direction, it means that further progress is de- pendent upon the completion of this engineering work. It would be advantageous to have the plans for the two bridges and for the approaches prepared under a single con- tract, if possible, as it would center responsibility and insure the proper coordination of the bridge and approach plans. It would simplify and standardize the design, estimates and specifications for the entire job, and obviously would minimize errors and avoid duplication, thereby reducing costs. This work should be started at once. No real progress can be made in carrying out condemnation proceedings until ordinances have been prepared. The sum and substance of the ordinances are detailed plans, specifications and estimates. If the park boards adopt the plan recommended by the Chicago Plan Commission, I believe they would be in a position to let the contract for the engineering work for the bridges and approaches immediately, as the plans now de- veloped are complete with respect to the general requirements of the improvement. The character of the bridges and ap- Of jU IVEftSITY Of ILLINOIS proach structures with respect to dimensions, grades, eleva- tions, capacities of roadway and sidewalk for traffic, and the type of construction and architectural features have been determined and are fully shown in these general plans. There have also been shown with respect to the bridge plans, the required clearances for navigation both in the open and closed positions. In other words, the general plans as developed by the Plan Commission anticipate the necessary information an engineer- ing concern must have preliminary to the execution of the details of design, estimates and specifications. As you know, the preparation of the ordinance plans and specifications and of plans for the two bridges represent the bulk of the engineering work yet to be done. If agreeable to the park boards, the technical stafif of the Chicago Plan Commission will prepare the government plans which must accompany the request of the park boards for permission to construct the bridges over the river and the Michigan Canal. The information necessary for making these drawings was obtained at the time the general plans were prepared and covers the requirements of the District U. S. Engineer's office and the Engineer of the Division of Waterways, State of Illinois. The key to further progress in the carrying out of this improvement is the prompt preparation of the detail plans, specifications and estimates for the north approach, inasmuch as these must be included in the ordinance to be passed by the Lincoln Park Board in connection with court proceed- ings to condemn the needed right-of-way through the Chicago Dock and Canal property between Grand Avenue and the Chicago River. In order that this matter may receive prompt consideration I am sending a copy of this letter to Messrs. Wm. H. Beckman, attorney for the Lincoln Park Board, and Edward J. Kelly, president of the South Park Board. Very truly yours, (Signed) HUGH E. YoUNG, Engineer." On March 12, 1928, Special Counsel Eugene H. Dupee submitted to the Lincoln Park Commissioners a legal opinion on the right of the park board to construct the Outer Drive improvement in accordance v^^ith the route recommended by the Chicago Plan Commission. This opinion, which had been prepared in collaboration with the attorney for the park board, Colonel William H. Beckman, held that the Lincoln Park Commissioners had power to open and construct a drive- way; to build a bridge over the Ogden Slip (Michigan Canal) ; and to raise money for the payment of land involved, the air rights, the construction of the canal bridge, and one- half the construction of the river bridge. This legal opinion was accepted by the Lincoln Park Board at its meeting March 14, 1928, and was referred to a special committee, with instruction to confer with the South Park Commissioners and the Chicago Plan Commission. At this same meeting of March 14, 1928, the Lincoln Park Board also authorized the submission to the voters of the park district of a bond issue of $2,000,000 for the project; this proposition to be submitted at the primary election April 10. This sum, added to the $3,000,000 voted in 1926 for the Outer Drive connection, made up the total estimated $5,000,000 share of the Lincoln Park Board, representing one-half the cost of the improvement. On March 27, 1928, the Chicago Plan Commission sent the following letter to Mr. D. J. Brumley, chief engineer of the Illinois Central Railroad Company: "Dear Sir: Herewith set of photostats, also a set of blue prints of our Drawings No. 102, 103, 105, 162, 163, 164 and 165, showing the proposed Outer Drive Improvement, which extends south from the intersection of Ohio Street and Lake Shore Drive to the south bank of the Chicago River, thence west along the bank of the river to a junction with the north extension of the Outer Drive in Grant Park. Drawing No. 105 shows the line of the improvement and its connection with Randolph Street and the proposed exten- sion of Wacker Drive east of Michigan Avenue. Ur M UK1V£R81TY UP II.^»2 feet of clearance, it will be seen that the Outer Drive bridges, in providing 22.34 feet of vertical clearance, are a decided improvement over the other structures. The bridge over the main channel is planned as a double leaf, and the one over the slip as a single leaf, bascule bridge. The Lincoln and South Park boards have spent between fifty and seventy-five million dollars, under authority of the Federal Government, in filling in the shallow waters along the shore line of Lake Michigan and in developing park lands and drives thereon. Eventually these drives and boulevards through this newly created park area will extend the entire twenty-six mile distance between the northern and the south- ern city limits of Chicago. At present, however, the boulevards along the lake shore south of the main channel of the Chicago River have no connection with the boulevards along the lake shore north of that stream. The Outer Drive bridges and viaducts are planned to provide that connection, so that the drives will be continuous from one end of Chicago to the other. The people of Chicago will be unable to obtain the full benefit of the millions of dollars which they have spent in creating these lake front parks and drives unless they are properly connected, so that the entire development will be accessible to and usable by all sections of the city. In anticipation of favorable action by the Federal Govern- «*(91 l*- ment upon the requested bridge permits, the people of the Lincoln Park and the South Park districts have each voted a $5,000,000 bond issue to cover their share of the cost of this proposed Outer Drive connection, and the two park boards have conducted negotiations with the owners of all private property affected, so that actual construction work might pro- ceed without delay as soon as the War Department issues the necessary bridge permits. The necessity and benefits of this Outer Drive Improvement are apparent from the fact that the daily movement of vehicular traffic in Chicago is extremely heavy, amounting to approximately 70,000 vehicles per day on the bridge over the Chicago River next west of this proposed Outer Drive bridge. Traffic movement is increasing continually, and the delay caused by insufficient river crossings results in a very large loss to all those who are affected by traffic congestion upon our north-and-south streets. Counts show that about 25 per cent of the north-and-south bound vehicles that cross the Chicago River are through bound. The proposed Outer Drive bridge, by accommodating much of this through bound traffic, would materially relieve congestion on the other thoroughfares. The interests of navigation have been fully and properly safeguarded in the design of the bridge structures. Conse- quently, as chairman of the Chicago Plan Commission, I earnestly urge prompt and favorable action by the War De- partment upon the applications of the two park boards for the bridges in question. Very truly yours, (Signed) James SIMPSON." On December 13, 1928, the bill authorizing the bridges across the mouth of the Chicago River and Michigan Canal was introduced in Congress, H. R. 15333. This bill was approved January 14, 1929, and is as follows: An Act granting the consent of Congress to the South Park commission- ers and the commissioners of Lincoln Park, separately or jointly, to construct, maintain, and operate a free highway bridge across that portion of Lake ^92> Michigan lying opposite the entrance to Chicago River, Illinois; and grant- ing the consent of Congress to the commissioners of Lincoln Park to construct, maintain, and operate a free highway bridge across the Michigan Canal, otherwise known as the Ogden Slip, in the city of Chicago, Illinois, Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That the consent of Congress is hereby granted to the South Park Commissioners and The Commissioners of Lincoln Park, separately or jointly, to construct, maintain, and operate, at a point suitable to the interests of navigation, .5* free highway bridge and approaches thereto across that portion of Lake Michigan lying opposite the entrance to Chicago River, Illinois, in the city of Chicago, county of Cook, and State of Illinois, in accordance with the provisions of the Act entitled "An Act to regulate the construction of bridges over navigable waters," approved March 23, 1906. Sec. 2. That the consent of Congress is hereby granted to The Com- missioners of Lincoln Park to construct, maintain, and operate, at a point suitable to the interests of navigation, a free highway bridge, abut- ments, and approaches thereto across Michigan Canal, otherwise known as Ogden Slip, in the city of Chicago, county of Cook, and State of Illi- nois, in accordance with the provisions of the Act entitled "An Act to regulate the construction of bridges over navigable waters," approved March 23, 1906. Sec. 3. That the actual construction of each of the bridges authorized in this Act shall be commenced within two years and shall be completed within four years from the date of the passage of this Act. Sec. 4. That the right to alter, amend, or repeal this Act is hereby expressly reserved. On December 14, 1928, Chairman James Simpson sent the following letter to Wm. F. Mulvihill, Supervisor, Illinois Waterway Construction, Division of Waterways, State of Illinois, Chicago: "Dear Sir: In accordance with the request of the Commissioners of Lincoln Park and the South Park Commissioners, the technical staff of the Chicago Plan Com- mission has prepared the following applications and accompanying drawings for approval of the Division of Waterways covering the construction of the proposed Outer Drive bridges. ( 1 ) Application for the proposed bascule bridge across that portion of Lake Michigan lying opposite the mouth of the Chicago River at the Outer Drive. (a) Joint application signed by Eugene R. Pike, President, Commis- sioners of Lincoln Park, and Edward J. Kelly, President, South Park Commissioners. (b) Extract from the proceedings of the Lincoln Park Commission with reference to the construction of the bridge. <93y (c) Extract from the proceedings of the South Park Commission with reference to the construction of the bridge. (d) Two sets of blue line prints of drawings No. 100 and No. 101, on which we have outlined in red ink the channel clearance lines for the bridge in both the open and closed positions. (2) Application for the proposed bascule bridge over the Michigan Canal at the Outer Drive. (a) Application signed by Eugene R. Pike, President, Commissioners of Lincoln Park. (b) Copy of extract from the proceedings of the Lincoln Park Com- mission with reference to the construction of the bridge. (c) Two sets of blue line prints of drawings No. 102 and No. 103, on which we have outlined in red ink the channel clearance lines for the bridge in both the open and closed positions. At the Public Hearing held in the office of W. C. Weeks, Lt. Col. Corps of Engineers, District Engineer, on the application of the park commissions there was no opposition offered to the approval of these plans. Some time ago the plans were submitted informally to Chief Engineer L. D. Cornish of your office, and in accordance with his instructions the accom- panying applications and plans have been put in a condition that we hope will justify prompt approval by the State Division of Waterways. The Chicago Plan Commission, at the request of the park officials, has served in the matter of preparing these plans and applications in order that the interests of all parties concerned could be co-ordinated with each other and with the plans of the Commission. As a result, I believe considerable time has been saved, hastening the day when this much needed improvement can be opened to the public. Yours truly, (Signed) James Simpson." On April 5, 1929, Manager Eugene S. Taylor of the Chi- cago Plan Commission sent the following letter to Mr. Joseph F. Peacock, City Real Estate Agent, City Hall, Chicago: "Dear Mr. Peacock: I hand you herewith copy of Outer Drive Improvement drawing No. 174, This shows in yellow the area of land conveyed by the United States to the city of Chicago and re-conveyed by the city to the Lincoln Park Board; and in pink the area along the eastern shore line of Michigan Canal to be con- veyed by the city to the United States. We respectfully urge that you give this matter prompt attention and exe- cute the necessary documents turning this latter area over to the Federal Government. The City Council, on October 31, 1928 (Page 3880 of the Council Proceedings), authorized the Mayor and the City Clerk to execute and deliver to the United States of America a deed of conveyance covering this property. The outer drive improvement has been approved by the Lincoln Park and the South Park Commissioners; the people have voted the bonds necessary for its construction ; the Federal and State governments have issued the nec- essary bridge permits; and a condemnation suit to acquire the property needed -!{ 94 )»» north of the Chicago River has been filed by the Lincoln Park Board. It is very desirable that before this suit comes to trial the final details of trans- ferring the land to the government and to the Lincoln Park Board shall be taken care of by the cit5\ Therefore I again urge prompt action on your part. Very truly yours, (Signed) Eugene S. Taylor/' On April 27, 1929, Chairman James Simpson of the Plan Commission sent the following letter to President Edward J. Kelly of the South Park Commissioners: "Dear Mr. Kelly: Replying to your request for the recommendation of the Chicago Plan Commission w^ith respect to the contract which has been submitted to the South Park Commissioners by the Strauss Engineering Corporation covering the preparation of bidding plans and specifications for the South Park Board's portion of the outer drive improvement, it is a pleasure for us to co- operate w^ith you, and to recommend that the South Park Board immediately enter into this contract. The recommendation that your board do this is made by the Executive Committee of the Chicago Plan Commission. The Com- mission, having conceived and planned the outer drive improvement in co- operation with the South Park Commissioners and the Lincoln Park Com- missioners, is naturally anxious to see construction work begin as soon as may be possible. As you know, the Chief Engineer of the Chicago Plan Commission, Mr. Hugh E. Young, was retained as Consulting Engineer by the Commissioners of Lincoln Park on this outer drive work. The contract which was sent to the office of the South Park Commissioners is identical with the one already entered into between the Commissioners of Lincoln Park and the Strauss Corporation. In his capacity as Consultant, Engineer Young checked and revised the original Strauss proposal and gave considerable time, attention and effort to the type of structure required under the contract. The contract as entered into by the Lincoln Park Board specifies the type of structure, and requires it to be of the fixed counterweight type, which is a factor of the utmost importance in a bridge of this size and importance. This contract also provides that it shall become effective only upon a similar con- tract being entered into between the South Park Commissioners and the Strauss Corporation. There is nothing to be gained by following the sug- gestion that has been offered of asking various bridge designing companies to submit plans and specifications for the outer drive bridge and the approaches thereto for two reasons. The first reason is that the design and type of structure already has been determined in the many general design plans which the Chicago Plan Commission has prepared for the South Park and Lincoln Park Commissioners. The second reason is that the Lincoln Park Board already has entered into a contract with the Strauss Corporation to design their portion of the bridge over the river, and it is obvious that the remaining portion of that bridge can best be designed by the same concern. The reasons why the Executive Committee of the Chicago Plan Commis- sion urges the South Park Commissioners immediately to enter into the con- tract with the Strauss Engineering Corporation for the Outer Drive plans and specifications are: ( 1 ) This contract having been approved by Engineer Young, the commit- tee is confident that it is in proper form. (2) Both the South Park and the Lincoln Park Commissioners have ofl6- cially adopted Plan No. 2 recommended by the Chicago Plan Commission for this outer drive improvement, and the contract compels the plans to con- form to the general plans officially adopted by the park boards. (3) The Chicago Dock and Canal Company is the owner of all the pri- vate property required north of the river. An agreement has been entered into between this company and the Lincoln Park Board, contingent upon a satisfactory agreement being reached between the dock and canal company and its tenants. Agreements were made some time ago with all the tenants except one, the Container Corporation of America, and this week an oral settlement was concluded with this company and the papers are now being drawn. (4) The property needed for the plaza and formerly owned by the federal government has been acquired by the Lincoln Park Board. (5) The necessary federal and state government permits have been issued for the construction of the bridges across the mouth of the Chicago River and Michigan Canal (Ogden Slip). (6) Inasmuch as it will take six months to prepare the bidding plans and specifications for the outer drive improvement, the time of beginning con- struction work depends upon the execution of the contract with the Strauss Corporation. By the time the bidding plans and specifications are completed, all the various other steps will have been consummated, so that bids can be taken and construction contracts can be let by your Board and by the Lincoln Park Board. For these reasons, therefore, our Executive Committee urges immediate action on the part of the South Park Commissioners, so that this great and much needed improvement may go forward with a full head of steam and be completed and in operation by May, 1931. Very truly yours, (Signed) Jambs Simpson.^' On January 10, 1929, the City Council of Chicago passed the following ordinance granting permission to the Com- missioners of Lincoln Park to construct the outer drive viaduct across Grand Avenue, Illinois Street and North Water Street: A96y The Commissioners of Lincoln Park: Construction of Viaducts Across Certain Streets On motion of Alderman D.

SPECIFICATIONS. Viaduct Across East Grand Avenue. The roadway of the viaduct across East Grand avenue shall be one hundred thirty-nine (139) feet in width. At the north line of East Grand avenue said roadway shall have an elevation of twenty-one and twenty-nine hundredths (21.29) feet above Chicago City datum and at the south line of East Grand avenue said roadway shall have an eleva- tion of twenty-three and sixty-eight hundredths (23.68) feet above Chi- cago City datum. The supports for said viaduct shall be by two (2) column bents, one located twelve (12) feet south of the north line of East Grand avenue, and one located twelve (12) feet north of the south line of East Grand avenue. Said viaduct shall be constructed of steel covered with concrete, reinforced concrete or any combination of the foregoing. At the intersection of East Grand avenue and Lake Shore Drive a clearance of thirteen (13) feet six (6) inches shall be provided beneath said viaduct and the elevation of said roadway under said viaduct shall be five (5) feet above Chicago City datum. Viaduct Across East Illinois Street. The roadway of the viaduct across East Illinois street shall be one hundred thirty-nine (139) feet in width. At the north line of East Illinois street said roadway shall have an elevation of thirty and seventy- two hundredths (30.72) feet and at the south line of East Illinois street said roadway shall have an elevation of thirty-three and eleven hun- dredths (33.11) feet above Chicago City datum. The supports for said viaduct shall be by three (3) column bents, one located at the north street line, the second at the center line of the street, being thirty-seven (37) feet south of the north line and the third at the south street line. Said viaduct shall be constructed of steel covered with concrete, rein- forced concrete or any combination of the foregoing. At the intersection of East Illinois street and Lake Shore Drive a clearance of sixteen (16) feet six (6) inches shall be provided beneath said viaduct and the eleva- tion of said roadway under said viaduct shall be twelve (12) feet above Chicago City datum.

An ordinance cover- ing this matter was prepared, and was pending before the City Council at the time this volume went to press. The supporting columns of the outer drive viaduct across North Water Street will interfere with the tracks of the Chi- cago & Northwestern Railway Company at that point. These viaduct columns will necessitate a relocation of the railroad tracks. Therefore, on June 14, 1929, the following ordinance was passed by the City Council of Chicago: C. & N. W. Ry. Co. : Chance in Location of Tracks in E. North Water St. The Committee on Finance submitted a report recommending the passage of an ordinance submitted therewith authorizing and directing a change in the location of tracks of the Chicago & Northwestern Railway Company in East North Water street. Alderman Kaindl moved to concur in said report and to pass said ordinance. No request being made by any two Aldermen present to defer consid- eration of said report for final action thereon until the next regular meet- ing, and the question being put, the vote thereon was as follows: Yeas — Coughlin, Anderson, Jackson, Cronson, Eaton, Guernsey, Nance, Meyering, Rowan, Wilson, Zintak, McDonough, O'Toole, Byrne, Moran, Morris, Northrup, Pacelli, D.

Bowler, Albert, Loescher, Feigenbutz, Nelson, Hoellen, Massen, Frankhauser, MelHn — 43. Nays — None. The following is said ordinance as passed: AN ordinance Authorizing and directing the Chicago and North Western Railway Company to change the location of its present railroad tracks and turnouts in East North Water street and readjust the pavement in portions of said street to make possible the construction by The Com- missioners of Lincoln Park of the viaduct across East North Water street, authorized by ordinance of the City Council of the City of Chicago, passed January 10, 1929. <( 100 > WhereaSj The Chicago and North Western Railway Company has for many years maintained and operated two main line tracks with nec- essary turnouts in East North Water street under and by virtue of an ordinance of July 17, 1848, to the Galena and Chicago Union Railroad Company; and Whereas, The said Chicago and North Western Railway Company is the successor to the Galena and Chicago Union Railroad Company; and Whereas, On January 10, 1929, the City Council of the City of Chicago passed an ordinance granting to The Commissioners of Lincoln Park permission and authority to construct certain viaducts over and across East Grand avenue, East Illinois street, and East North Water street in connection with an elevated boulevard or driveway, Journal of the Proceedings of the City Council of January 10, 1929, pages 4365 to 4366; and Whereas, In order that the Commissioners of Lincoln Park may con- struct its said viaduct across East North Water street, so authorized as aforesaid, it will be necessary for said Chicago and North Western Railway Company to relocate its main line tracks and the turnouts to permit the construction of the columns of said viaduct in said street ; and Whereas, The said Chicago and North Western Railway Company, under negotiations with The Commissioners of Lincoln Park, are willing to rearrange its said main line tracks and turnouts and to readjust the pavement of East North Water street at such places as may be necessary, caused by such relocation of said tracks; and Whereas, It is necessary for the City of Chicago to grant permission to the said Chicago and North Western Railway Company to relocate its said tracks and turnouts, and to readjust the pavement as aforesaid ; and Whereas, The plan hereto attached and marked "Exhibit A" and made a part hereof shows the present tracks and the proposed track changes; therefore, Be it ordained by the City Council of the City of Chicago: Section 1. That the Chicago and North Western Railway Company be and it is hereby authorized and directed to change the location of its present two main line railroad tracks and its various turnouts in East North Water street, as shown on Exhibit "A." Said changes are to be made as shown on legend on Exhibit "A." That said relocation of tracks and turnouts shall include the two main line tracks and the turnouts in East North Water street lying east of a line parallel with and 815 feet westerly of the westerly line of the proposed outer driv^e viaduct over East North Water street, and as shown in red and yellow color on Ex- hibit "A." The two main line tracks are designated as "A-B" and "A-C," and the turnouts are designated 'T-G," "J-K," "L-M" and 4 101 }t- "P-Q." Said tracks as shown in yellow color replacing tracks now exist- ing in said street and as shown on attached Exhibit "A," colored in green and designated as "D-E" and "N-O."

That the said Railway Company shall readjust and relay all pavements in East North Water Street which are disturbed or de- stroyed by the track changes which are hereinabove authorized and di- rected so as to restore the same to their present condition. Provided, however, that nothing in this ordinance contained shall be construed as obligating said Railway Company to readjust or relay any pavements disturbed or destroyed by reason of the construction of the viaduct across East North Water street by The Commissioners of Lincoln Park. Section 3. That said original ordinance to the Galena and Chicago Union Railroad Company of July 17, 1848, except as the provisions therein are changed or modified by this amendatory ordinance, shall remain in full force and effect, the same as if said original ordinance had not been amended. Section 4. That all track changes or relocations provided for in this ordinance, together with the readjustment of the street pavement shall be done and performed under the supervision and to the satisfaction of the Commissioner of Public Works of the City of Chicago. Section 5. This ordinance shall take effect and be in force from and after its passage and approval. It had been discovered that at the time the City Council passed the ordinance of October 31, 1928, providing for the conveyance of certain property by the City to the United States, the Mayor and the City Clerk had no power or authority to execute and deliver a deed of conveyance of such property to the United States. This power, however, had been granted by the Legislature of the State of Illinois on June 7, 1929. Therefore it became necessary for the City Council to repeal the ordinance of October 31, 1928, and to pass a new ordinance, which was done on July 10, 1929, as follows : ^ 102 h Repeal of an Ordinance Authorizing a Conveyance to the Unitbd States Government of the City's Interest in a Certain Parcel of Land for Lighthouse Purposes. The Committee on Finance submitted a report recommending the passage of two ordinances submitted therewith in the matter of the exchange of certain property with the United States Government. Alderman Clark moved to concur in said report. No request being made by any two Aldermen present to defer considera- tion of said report for final action thereon until the next regular meeting, and the question being put on the passage of an ordinance repealing an ordinance conveying the City's interest in a certain parcel of land to the United States Government, the vote thereon was as follows: Yeas — Coughlin, Anderson, Cronson, Eaton, Guernsey, Nance, Meyering, Govier, Rowan, Zintak, McDonough, Byrne, Moran, Coyle, Morris, North- rup, Pacelli, D.

The following is said ordinance as passed: AN ordinance To repeal an ordinance passed October 31, 1928, providing for the conveyance of certain property by the City of Chicago to the United States of America. Whereas, The City Council of the City of Chicago at its regular meeting held October 31, A. D. 1928, passed an ordinance authorizing the Mayor and the City Clerk to execute and deliver to the United States of America, a deed of conveyance to certain property for light- house purposes, in exchange for a certain other lighthouse reservation to be acquired by the City, which said ordinance appears on pages 3880 and 3881, of the Council Proceedings of October 31, 1928, and. Whereas, At the time of the passage of this ordinance, no power or authority was vested in the Mayor and the City Clerk to execute and deliver a deed of conveyance to the United States of America, and. Whereas, The Legislature of the State of Illinois, did pass an Act on June 7, 1929, authorizing the conveyance by the City of Chicago of the property in question. Said Act known as Senate Bill No. 435, and, Whereas, It is necessary that a new ordinance be passed by the City Council of the City of Chicago, subsequent to the passage of the Act by the Legislature of the State of Illinois, therefore, Be it ordained by the City Council of the City of Chicago: Section 1.

On July 25, 1929, after the entry of said judgment, the vari- ous condemnation awards were paid by the Commissioners and a warranty deed to the condemned property with a guar- antee policy of the Chicago Title and Trust Company was delivered by the Dock Company to the Commissioners. The deed was filed for record in the Recorder's Office of Cook Countv on July 27, 1929, and was recorded as Document No. 10439522. The Commissioners of Lincoln Park thereupon entered upon and took possession of the condemned property for the purpose of constructing thereon the Outer Driveway. On July 25, 1929, the Commissioners of Lincoln Park and the South Park Commissioners each entered into a contract with the Strauss Engineering Corporation for the prepara- tion of bidding plans and specifications for their portion of the outer drive improvement. Barring unforeseen delays, it is expected that the two park boards will be able to advertise for bids on the construction work on the outer drive during the Fall of 1929, and that the improvement will be ready for public use by May 1, 1931. On July 25, 1929, the Commissioners of Lincoln Park re- ceived from Attorney William H. Beckman a brief outline of the various matters involved and the steps taken in connec- tion with the outer drive improvement from the beginning up to the entry of the order of final judgment by the court in the condemnation suit. M. 120 h On motion of Mr. Thompson, seconded by Mr. Fyfe and unanimously carried, the Commissioners of Lincoln Park unanimously adopted the following resolution: Whereas, The Commissioxers of Lincolx Park adopted a resolution on February 14, 1929, to construct one-half of a bridge across the Chicago River and an approach or approaches to the north end of said bridge, which approaches include a bridge over the Michigan Canal, otherwise known as the Ogden Slip, thus forming an elevated boulevard or thoroughfare running southerly from the inter- section of Lake Shore Drive and East Ohio Street to the north bank of the Chicago River, and connecting Lincoln Park and the boulevards under the control of The Commissioners of Lincoln Park with the boulevards under the control of the South Park Commissioners, which said proposed elevated boulevard or thoroughfare is commonly known as the Lincoln Park Outer Driveway, which Outer Driveway is to be carried over and across the lands hereinafter described by means of a single deck viaduct with supporting columns, column foundations, bridge abutments, enclosure walls and piers, and The Commissioners of Lincoln Park have instituted a condemnation suit for the purpose of acquiring the real estate necessary for the construction of said Outer Driveway as aforesaid ; And, Whereas, The Commissioners of Lincoln Park have by means of bond issues procured funds which are now available for the purpose of carrying out said Outer Driveway project ; And, Whereas, The Commissioners of Lincoln Park by a resolu- tion adopted February 14, 1929, adopted The Chicago Plan Commission Plan No. 2 for said improvement, a copy of which said Plan No. 2 is on file in the oflSce of The Commissioners of Lincoln Park;

And, Whereas, said condemnation suit is about to come on for hearing and final disposition in the Circuit Court of Cook County; And, Whereas, so much of said property as it is necessary for The Commissioners of Lincoln Park to acquire in said condemnation suit from said The Chicago Dock and Canal Company has been ap- praised for the said Commissioners by Mr. B. ^-L Winston at the sum of One Million Three Hundred Thirty-three Thousand Seven Hundred and Twelve Dollars ($1,333,712.00) for property taken, and at the sum of One Hundred Sixty-six Thousand Two Hundred Eighty-eight Dollars ($166,288.00) for damages to said The Chicago Dock and Canal Company, making a total of One Million Five Hundred Thou- sand Dollars ($1,500,000.00) ; And, Whereas, it is desirable that the respective interests of the Commissioners and the said Dock Company in the North Pier Terminal ^121 )^ Building and in the other property of the Dock Company involved in said condemnation suit be made clear and specific; And, Whereas, under the directions of the Qjmmissioners a con- tract has been negotiated between the Commissioners and the Dock Company wherein the Dock Company agrees to sell to the Commis- sioners the said property required by the Commissioners for its Outer Driveway at the sum of One Million Three Hundred Thirty-three Thousand Seven Hundred and Twelve Dollars ($1,333,712.00) for such property, and the further sum of One Hundred Sixty-six Thou- sand Two Hundred Eighty-eight Dollars ($166,288.00) for damages to the remainder of said Dock Company's property, making an aggre- gate of One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000.00) ; And, Whereas, the Commissioners have caused a contract between the Commissioners and said Dock Company to be prepared and a stipulation to be prepared to be filed in said condemnation suit to define more accurately the interests of the respective parties and have caused a deed to be drafted to be executed by said Dock Company conveying said property to the Commissioners; Now Therefore Be It Resolved: That the Commissioners of Lincoln Park hereby adopt and approve as the plan of The Com- missioners of Lincoln Park the Chicago Plan Commission Outer Drive Improvement Study No. 2 — Revised, a copy of which Revised Plan is this day filed with The Commissioners of Lincoln Park, and that this Revised Plan shall stand as the plan for said Outer Drive Improve- ment in place of The Chicago Plan Commission Plan No. 2 adopted on February 14, 1929, and the Secretary is instructed to identify said Revised Plan by her signature and the seal of the Commissioners on each sheet of the same under date of July 25, 1929, Be It Further Resolved That The Commissioners of Lincoln Park approve and through its President and its Secretary enter into the aforesaid contract and stipulation, and through the signature of its Secretary approve the draft of said deed, copies of which contract, stipulation and draft of deed are attached to and by reference made a part of this resolution;

Study No. 1 contemplates the extension of Lake Shore Drive south from its present terminus at Ohio Street. Under this plan the new connection would rise from that point on a filled approach 139 feet wide and would extend from Ohio Street to Grand Avenue, thence south on a viaduct structure, 139 feet wide, over the land of the Chicago Dock and Canal Company to the Michigan Canal, crossing this slip on a single leaf bas- cule bridge 108 feet wide, thence south again on viaduct con- struction over the Chicago Dock and Canal Company prop- erty and a small parcel of land belonging to the United States Lighthouse Service, Department of Commerce, to the Chicago River, crossing the river on a two leaf bascule bridge 108 feet wide, having a clear channel for navigation of 210 feet be- tween clearance lines. This bridge would be monumental in character, having a large plaza on each approach. From the south plaza the route in Study No. 1 extends south in Lake Michigan approximately parallel with and just east of the Illinois Central property line to Randolph Street, where it terminates in a large circular concourse. This section of the improvement is planned for a width of 140 feet and consists of viaduct construction. West from the concourse the drive in this study is carried on a viaduct 140 feet wide along Randolph Street to the Outer Drive which is the north and south axis of the Field Museum. The part of the Outer Drive Improvement located north of the center line of the Chicago River is in the Lincoln Park District and the por- tion south of the center line of the river is in the South Park District. 4 126 >► mtliMlElMPIOWMEIIT ,^ STUDY k.

The improvement embraced in Study No. 3 provides for extending Lake Shore Drive, which now terminates at Ohio Street, eastward in the line of Ohio Street, rising from the normal level at the Ohio Street — Lake Shore Drive intersection on a filled approach 140 feet wide, meeting a viaduct structure at the lake front at which point the roadway turns south and follows the lake front past Navy Pier on a viaduct structure 140 feet wide to the Chicago River, crossing the river on a two-leaf bascule bridge 108 feet wide, having a clear channel for navigation of 250 feet. This bridge would be monumental in character and would have a large plaza on each approach. It is suggested that the treatment be of granite and Bedford stone. At the south bank of the river the roadway proposed in Study No. 3, turns west through the waters of the harbor, supported on a viaduct structure 140 feet wide, following the south line of the channel to the north and south line of the Outer Drive in Grant Park. This section of the improvement would become part of the future extension of Wacker Drive as now completed along the south bank of the Chicago River between Lake Street and Michigan Avenue. Turning south again, the improvement outlined in Study No. 3, follows the line of the Outer Drive, which is the north and south axis of the Field Museum, over the railroad yards of the Illinois Central Railroad on a viaduct structure 140 feet wide to Randolph Street, the northern boundary of Grant Park, where it connects with both Randoph Street and the present Outer Drive in Grant Park. That part of the Outer Drive Improvement located north of the center line of the Chicago River is to be carried out by the Commissioners of Lincoln Park and the portion south of the center line of the river is to be constructed by the South Park Commissioners. ^ 130 >" y^TUDV/N^3 ®'€) OUTER DRIVE IMPROVEMENT Estimate of Cost to Accompany Study No. 3 SUMMARY Upper Level (1) Section of Improvement located in South Park District.

Study No. 5 pro- vides for the following connection between Grant Park and Lake Shore Drive at Erie Street: Beginning at Erie Street, the new driveway, 140 feet in width, extends in a southwesterly direction, crossing private property at the normal street level as far south as East Ohio Street, from which point the roadway rises on a grade, being carried on a filled approach 140 feet in width, to Grand Avenue, continuing southwesterly from Grand Avenue on a viaduct structure 140 feet in width, meeting the line of McClurg Court, which is also the line of the Outer Drive in Grant Park extended north. The section of the improve- ment between Grand Avenue and Illinois Street crosses prop- erty owned by the Chicago Dock and Canal Company. Turning south at Illinois Street, the new improvement is carried on viaduct construction, 140 feet in width, over the lands of the Chicago Dock and Canal Company to the Mich- igan Canal, crossing this canal on a single leaf bascule bridge 108 feet wide, thence south again on viaduct construction over the Chicago Dock and Canal Company property to the Chi- cago River, crossing the river on a two-leaf bascule bridge 108 feet wide, having clear channel for navigation of 210 feet between clearance lines. This bridge will be monumental in character, having a large plaza at each approach. South from the south plaza the improvement follows the line of the Outer Drive, which is the north and south axis of the Field Museum, over the railroad yards of the Illinois Central Railroad on a viaduct structure 140 feet wide to Randolph Street, the northern boundary of Grant Park, where it connects with both Randolph Street and the present Outer Drive in Grant Park. That part of the improvement located north of the center line of the Chicago River is in the Lincoln Park District and that portion south of the center line of the river is in the South Park District. -iuyy- OUTER DRIVE IMPROVEMENT Estimate of Cost to Accompany Study No. 5 SUMMARY Upper Level (1) Section of Improvement located in South Park District.
