From SecondCityCop:IDOT Street Closuers for Nato


SCC Flag


Didn't she just say, "Bring your families downtown!" Can she explain exactly what the attraction is now?
  • Lake Shore Drive and Interstate Highway 55 near McCormick Place will be closed during the NATO summit, federal and Chicago officials announced today.

    In addition to the highways, the security measures for the summit also will close significant portions of Columbus Drive and Roosevelt Road near the museum campus, and several streets near the convention center on the near South Side will also be closed.

    The Shedd Aquarium, Adler Planetarium and Field Museum will be closed Sunday, May 20, and while the museums will be open on the Saturday before the summit starts, many parking lots on the museum campus will not be open.
Anyone want to see if Lori eats her "$128 million windfall" in the next few weeks? No museum campus open, no parking, massive disruption on the train lines, highways shut down, this sounds like a dream opportunity to do what exactly?

Even the nearby harbors are closed, so if you have a boat at Burnham, you can't use it.
