The Expressway Lives In Jackson Park Planning
City planner Louis Wetmore calls the Outer Drive through Jackson Park a failed parkway and urges a revised route toward Stony Island. Mayor Daley appointed Wetmore to review lakefront plans and a final report is expected soon signaling possible renewed push for the Jackson Park expressway with funds now available under the new Illinois constitution. Hyde Park residents are urged to influence planning to minimize disruption while acknowledging that stopping the project entirely may be unlikely.
