IL SR0985

Urges the Chicago Department of Transportation (CDOT) and Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) to transform Du Sable Lake Shore Drive into a true boulevard with a creative, forward-thinking redesign

Calls for incorporating safe and efficient multimodal transportation options for pedestrians, cyclists, public transit users, and drivers throughout the corridor

Emphasizes green urban mobility and requests changes be part of a comprehensive traffic management plan, including provisions for special events and weather challenges

Requests creation of more green space and recreational opportunities for residents and visitors, including repurposing existing infrastructure for recreational use

Notes that climate change has caused erosion along Lake Michigan shorelines and deterioration of protective structures along the drive, necessitating the redesign effort
