TSS LES SIS LAGOON ‘LOW-WAY” MAY FACILITATE CHICAGO TRAFFIC « ENTAILS DRAINING OF LIN- COLN PARK LAGOON AND BUILDING OF HIGH SPEED RCADWAY IN CONNECTION «By Anscermted Proust CHICAGO, March 30.—A high- way “low-way” is offered as a solution to Chicago’s traffic prob- lem. It entails the draining of a Lincoln park lagoon and the build- ing of a high speed roadway on its soggy bed. Engineers say it is the most practical suggestion yet made io unsnar! traffic. The lagoon, which resembles a canal, parallels the outer drive along the lake shore, north of the lop business area, for two miles. Drives Congested The outer drive is scarcely able to take care of rush hour traffic now and with completion of a new bridge across the head of the Chi- cago river, tra‘fic from several sources will converge in the park. The only other roads through the park that might be utilized {are what Otto K. Jeliek, traffic engineer for the Chicago park district, calls “horse and buggy”! drives of the twisting variety, beautiful but not practical ' Jelinek and other engineers figvre the proposed submerged highway could be made into a thing of beauty—for $4,500,000 They would erect arched over- passes of the Venetian type for pedestrians, and would landscape the sloping sides. Freauty In the Highway They argue that the lagoon sn’t used much any more any- way, and that it would be ju beautiful as a sunken highway as a stagnant pool Jelinek would make the lagoon a three-way drive—two one-way sections for high speed traffic. and a third for motorists in no hurry. The present outer drive would be maintained for sight-; seers. : j Jenilek doesn’t know where funds to finance the improvement! may be obtained. “I'm just an} eng’neer.” he explains, | INTENDED FOR RATS ST.
