Twenty-six miles of Chicago's 30-mile shoreline are part of the public lakefront park system that belongs to all its citizens. Four miles remain in private ownership, unavailable for public use, public bike trails or recreation. Architects and planners present the draft plan envisioned by the community to complete the south lakefront park system starting from 71st to 75th Streets, the USX site and the Illinois Port District land, which would connect to Calumet Park and the Indiana border. Presented by Friends of the Parks and Chicagoland Bicycle Federation.
