Plan for Chicago Boulevard Encompassing City
Charles H. Wacker, chairman of the Chicago plan commission, outlines a boulevard plan to encircle the city. The proposal, one of several improvements costing 100 million dollars, would start at Rogers Avenue and the lake, running via Rogers Elmdale Thorndale and Peterson Aves along the former Baltimore and Ohio rail right of way to the Des Plaines river before turning east on 134th Street to the lake. Wacker says the railroad right of way is already acquired and Rogers widening and other street reforms are included. The Pointer supports the plan if 134th Street is made a boulevard.
