SUMMARY:The Chicago River and Lake Michigan: Confused Waters
DESCRIPTION:Through the years\, the land and water around Chicago have been radically altered. In 1900\, the river was reversed. Meanwhile\, Michigan Avenue by Grant Park used to be lakefront property! Join us for a virtual presentation as we explore the ebb and flow of our celebrated lake and river. \nStanding at upper Wacker Drive and Columbus\, it’s always astonishing to remember that before 1803\, you would be wading in Lake Michigan. The modifications that have been made to the Chicago River have included dredging\, channeling\, damming\, tunneling\, legal decisions and breaching it at its South Branch headwaters to flow away from Lake Michigan. Likewise\, we have altered the shoreline of Lake Michigan and struggled with it as it fluctuated about six feet from a record low in 2013 to a record high in 2022. \nSpeaker: Kevin Griebenow \nKevin is a civil engineer with more than 25 years of experience inspecting and assessing the safety of dams. A CAC docent since 1993\, Kevin leads tours for guests of all ages. He has given presentations on structural engineering\, innovations in construction materials\, the construction and engineering feats of the 1893 World’s Fair and the design history of dams.

SUMMARY:LaSalle Street at a Crossroads
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a virtual roundtable conversation exploring ideas for a renewed LaSalle Street corridor\, which currently finds itself at a crossroads. How does an austere financial district transform into a vibrant 24-hour neighborhood\, and who will call this neighborhood home? \nIn many ways\, the fate of the LaSalle Street corridor and the broader downtown are intertwined. If the most viable future for downtown is flexible adaptation to a mix of uses\, there is no better place to test this hypothesis than along this iconic office corridor. Recognizing this\, the City of Chicago recently launched a planning initiative for a reimagined LaSalle Street\, freeing up all-important tax increment financing (TIF) and inviting development proposals. \nHowever\, there are questions about the challenges LaSalle Street must overcome: namely\, what is the prescription for its aging building stock? Will tax incentives be sufficient to spark investment in complex residential conversions and protection of the corridor’s landmark architecture? And how central is a redesign and greening of the public realm to LaSalle’s long-term success or failure? Our roundtable of leading local experts in planning\, design and real estate sets out to find answers.
