Lakefront Trail and Park Access

Purpose and Need: Lakefront Trail and Parks

  • Improve safety and

mobility

– Over 31,000 users on a typical summer weekend day

  • Improve access and

circulation

  • Address infrastructure

deficiencies

Lakefront Trail and Park Access

  • Reduce congestion on the trail
  • Minimize conflict points
  • Reduce flooding
  • Improve visibility and aesthetics at access points
  • Ensure ADA compliance

Design Goals

Context Tailored Treatment Definition

Context Tailored Treatments (CTT) are:

  • Base layer of roadway improvements needed to improve safety

and operations

  • Improvements that include Transit Advantages such as queue

jump lanes, bus turnarounds, and bus staging and layover areas

  • Specifically tailored to the varying roadway, transit, bike,

pedestrian, and shoreline protection needs

SLIDE 25

Context Tailored Treatments (CTT)

Corridor Modernization Concept (Alternative 1)

25

Features

  • A continuous landscaped median along the length of NLSD
  • Increased separation between the Inner and Outer drives between Grand Ave.

and LaSalle Dr. and between Belmont Ave. and Irving Park Rd.

  • Although the design is urban and takes into account Lincoln Park’s surroundings,

it is not the most compact design

DRAFT

slide-26
SLIDE 26

Context Tailored Treatments (CTT)

Compressed Roadway Concept (Alternative 2)

26

Features

  • Minimizes transportation footprint and Inner/Outer Drive separation
  • Concrete barrier wall in place of landscaped median

DRAFT

slide-27
SLIDE 27

Context Tailored Treatments (CTT)

Frontage Drive Concept (Alternative 3)

27

Features

  • Lowers Outer Drive below grade and splits Inner Drive into one-way frontage

drives: Grand Ave. to East Lake Shore Dr. and Belmont Ave. to Montrose Ave.

  • Improves pedestrian access and circulation within Lincoln Park
  • Increased separation between the Inner and Outer drives, between Oak St.

and LaSalle Dr.; this creates separate local and regional park spaces

  • Opportunity to mix and match CTT Alternatives at specific

locations

  • Top performing alternatives from Part A will then be used in

combination with one another during Part B screening
