History

The double-decker Link Bridge across the Chicago River; Wacker Drive is visible in the background

Lake Shore Drive's origins date back to Potter Palmer, who coerced the city to build the street adjacent to his lakefront property to enhance its value. The Link Bridge is the official name of the bridge carrying U The Chicago River is 156 miles (251 km long and flows through downtown Chicago. Wacker Drive is a major street in Chicago, Illinois, United States, running along the south side of the main branch and the east side of the south Potter Palmer (1826 - 1902 was a Chicago businessman who was responsible for much of the development of State Street. Palmer built his "castle" at 1350 N. Lake Shore Drive in 1882. The drive was originally intended for leisurely strolls for the wealthy in their carriages, but as the auto age dawned it took on a different role completely.

In 1937, the double-decker Link Bridge over the Chicago River opened, along with viaducts over rail yards and other industrial areas connecting to both ends of it. Year 1937 ( MCMXXXVII) was a Common year starting on Friday (link will display the full calendar of the Gregorian calendar. The Link Bridge is the official name of the bridge carrying U The Chicago River is 156 miles (251 km long and flows through downtown Chicago. A viaduct is a Bridge composed of several small spans The term viaduct is derived from the Latin via for road and ducere to A rail yard, or railroad yard, is a complex series of Railroad tracks for storing sorting or loading/unloading Railroad cars and/or Locomotives The lower level was intended for a railroad connection, but it was never used until LSD was rebuilt in 1986. Year 1986 ( MCMLXXXVI) was a Common year starting on Wednesday (link displays 1986 Gregorian calendar) At the time the bridge was built, it was the longest and widest bascule bridge in the world. The Bascule Bridge is a paved one-lane highway bridge in Westport, Massachusetts, USA. [1][2]

The S-Curve, 1963 (Charles W. Cushman collection)

North of the river, LSD intersected Ohio Street at grade, and then passed over Grand Avenue and Illinois Street on its way to the bridge. Grand Avenue is a major east-west arterial surface street in the city of Chicago and nearby DuPage County, although it deviates somewhat from Chicago's grid South of the river, LSD came from the south on its current alignment, but continued straight at the curve north of Monroe Street, rising onto a viaduct. It intersected Randolph Street at grade and then continued north above the Illinois Central Railroad's yard. Randolph Street is a street in Chicago Illinois, USA. It runs east-west through the Chicago Loop, carrying westbound traffic west from Michigan Avenue The Illinois Central, sometimes called the Main Line of Mid-America, was a railroad carrier in the central United States, with its primary routes At the river, it made a sharp turn to the right, and another sharp turn to the left onto the bridge. These curves (actually a pair of 90-degree turns) were known locally as the "S-Curve" or the "S-Turn", and were a bottleneck to drivers for many years until the 1980s reconstruction.

Lake Shore Drive was extended from Irving Park Road north to Foster Avenue (5200n) in the 1930s where it terminated until the 1950s when it was extended - first briefly to Bryn Mawr (5600n) & then in 1957 to its present terminus at Hollywood Avenue (5700n). The landfill used for the 1930s extension was mostly dirt, but the 1950s extension included rubble and debris from the destruction of homes razed for the construction of the Congress Expressway (now the Eisenhower Expressway). Interstate 290 (abbreviated I-290) is a main Interstate freeway that runs west from the Chicago Loop. Portions of the drive between Irving Park Road and Foster Avenue still contain the original concrete from the 1930s, but this is scheduled for replacement in the near future.

Prior to the extension to Hollywood, traffic was funneled onto Foster, then north onto Sheridan Road, which still remains a wide 4-lane street to this day, though most traffic doesn't rejoin Sheridan until LSD ends at Hollywood Avenue now. Sheridan Road south of Foster narrows to 2 lanes of traffic with street parking on each side as well.

When Wacker Drive was extended east to LSD in the 1970s, its upper level ended at LSD at the west curve (the lower level dead-ended underneath). Wacker Drive is a major street in Chicago, Illinois, United States, running along the south side of the main branch and the east side of the south This article is about the Decade 1970-1979 For the Year 1970 see 1970. A new development at the northeast corner of the Randolph Street intersection resulted in an extension of Randolph across LSD.

Lake Shore Drive used to intersect the upper level and turn west here. The Link Bridge on Lake Shore Drive is in the background.

Construction began in 1982 on a realignment of LSD south of the river (along with a reconstruction north of the river). Year 1982 ( MCMLXXXII) was a Common year starting on Friday (link displays the 1982 Gregorian calendar) A whole new alignment was built, greatly smoothing the S-curve (later named, in a fortuitous coincidence, for Chicago Bears founder George S. Halas). The Chicago Bears are a professional American football team based in Chicago, Illinois. George Stanley Halas Sr ( February 2 1895 &ndash October 31 1983) nicknamed "Papa Bear" and "Mr The northbound side opened in October 1985, and the southbound side opened in November 1986. Year 1985 ( MCMLXXXV) was a Common year starting on Tuesday (link displays 1985 Gregorian calendar) Year 1986 ( MCMLXXXVI) was a Common year starting on Wednesday (link displays 1986 Gregorian calendar) [3] A new lower level was built, using the lower level of the bridge, and providing access to the new Wacker Drive and the roads on the north side of the river.

The old road south of Randolph became a Cancer Survivors Plaza; the east-west part was reconstructed as part of Wacker Drive (which was being rebuilt at the time). Wacker Drive is a major street in Chicago, Illinois, United States, running along the south side of the main branch and the east side of the south The rest, between Randolph and Wacker, was kept for several years as Field Boulevard, but was demolished, with only the southernmost part remaining in 1994, and even that is now gone. Year 1994 ( MCMXCIV) was a Common year starting on Saturday (link will display full 1994 Gregorian calendar) Only some old street lighting, sidewalks & fire hydrants remain, marking the former route. All of which look oddly out of place in the park setting. Current plans are for new upper level streets in the area as part of the Lakeshore East development.

On March 20, 2003, some 15,000 anti-war protesters marched across, and temporarily blocked, Lake Shore Drive the day after the United States invasion of Iraq. Events 1600 - The Linköping Bloodbath takes place on Maundy Thursday in Linköping, Sweden. Year 2003 ( MMIII) was a Common year starting on Wednesday of the Gregorian calendar. The 2003 invasion of Iraq, from March 20 to May 1 2003 was spearheaded by the United States, backed by British forces and smaller contingents from Australia The massive direct action, organized by the Chicago Coalition Against War & Racism, led to some 900 arrests. A City Council investigation was held, all of the charges were dropped, and a class action lawsuit is pending.

Plans were made to extend Lake Shore Drive farther north through Rogers Park and into Evanston. Rogers Park is the northernmost of Chicago community areas in the far North Side of Chicago, Illinois. Evanston Illinois is an affluent suburban Chicago Municipality on Lake Michigan on the North Shore in Cook County, Illinois directly Those plans were abandoned as a result of protests against cutting neighborhoods off from the lake. Specifically, Rogers Park and Edgewater voters rejected the extension in a referendum in November 2004^[2]. A referendum (plural referendums or referenda) ballot question, or plebiscite (from Latin plebiscita November 2004: January - February - March - April - May - June - July - August - September

Chicago has an interesting quirk related to a city law that bans all trucks from being driven on Lake Shore Drive. This broadly worded legislation means that ALL vehicles registered as trucks in Illinois (and presumably any other state) are banned from driving on Lake Shore Drive. The law was aimed at semis and other medium/heavy trucks, but the side effect is that personal vehicles licensed as trucks (B TRUCK plates in Illinois) are prohibited on Lake Shore Drive. Since over 50% of vehicle sales in the USA are classified as trucks (including all light duty trucks, and many medium or heavy SUVs) this has the unintended consequence of many pickup truck or SUV drivers being ticketed for illegal operation of a truck on Lake Shore Drive. Notable occurrences have vehicles as small as Ford Ranger pickups being issued tickets to the drivers. Often these light pickups or SUVs are the only vehicles that some people own, so this effectively puts Lake Shore Drive off limits to many vehicle owners. The legal quirk that allows this law to be bypassed in Illinois is for pickup truck owners to license their vehicles with RV (recreational vehicle) license plates, since recreational vehicles fall outside the scope of the Chicago city law.

A political moniker

In the 20th century, the tiny neighborhoods near Lake Shore Drive came to be occupied by exclusive high-rise apartment, condominiums and co-op buildings. To the political columnist Mike Royko, Lake Shore Drive was goo-goo territory, a land occupied by Chicago's wealthy "good-government" types. Michael "Mike" Royko ( September 19, 1932 &ndash April 29, 1997) was a newspaper Columnist in Chicago, Illinois The goo-goos, or good government guys were political groups founded in an era when urban municipal governments in the United States were dominated by Machine Royko sometimes used Lake Shore Drive as a political moniker. Though he often agreed with the reformers, he looked upon them with the same cynical eye as his fictional Chicago everyman, Slats Grobnik.

Inner/Outer Drive

The Chicago Half Marathon is an annual Chicago Marathon tune up that takes place along Lake Shore Drive on the South Side. The Bank of America 's Chicago Marathon (formerly the LaSalle Bank Chicago Marathon) is a major Marathon held yearly in Chicago

Lake Shore Drive contains both an inner and an outer drive.

The inner drive (or local) is used for slower local traffic and is connected to the street grid. The local drive runs from downtown in Streeterville to North Avenue (1600n), (becoming Cannon Drive). Then the inner drive reappears at Belmont Avenue (3200n), continuing north to Irving Park Road (4000n). This portion of the drive was originally named Sheridan Road (which can still be seen carved in stone in at least one vintage high-rise).

The outer drive (or express) with limited-access runs from the south side of the city, north to the terminus at Hollywood Avenue (5700n) in the Edgewater neighborhood. History Early settlers Developers began cutting down the dense woods in the area in the late 1880s to make way for future development

Lake Shore Drive runs both north/south and east/west, like several other major streets in Chicago. East Lake Shore Drive in the Gold Coast neighborhood is one of the most prestigious addresses in the city partly due to its roughly 1-block long length.

Other streets in Chicago that run both north/south and east/west include Wacker Drive, Sheridan Road, and Hyde Park Blvd. Wacker Drive is a major street in Chicago, Illinois, United States, running along the south side of the main branch and the east side of the south Sheridan Road is a major north-south thoroughfare that leads from Diversey Parkway in Chicago Illinois, north to the Illinois - Wisconsin border and beyond The Lakefront Bike Trail, an 18 mile bike trails runs to the east of Lake Shore Drive for most of its length.

It is used as an exit road from Chicago Bears games, because it runs right next to Soldier Field.
