The main portion of the proposed grand circuit would extend from a park at the intersection of Graceland and West avenues, around to Gage Park, thence on Fifty-fifth Boulevard to Michigan Avenue, and thence north to Graceland Avenue at the Lake, a distance of nearly thirty miles. This great circuit can be utilized for continuous playgrounds sweeping around the center and connecting the dense populations that will inhabit the North and South Sides; and thus it will be of inestimable value. To this circuit traffic would come from considerable distances on either side of it, then follow its line until reaching a street leading directly to that portion of the city for which it is destined. By such a route congested business and manufacturing territories may be avoided, and thus it would serve the purpose of many diagonals that otherwise must be created. As a continuous park it would furnish breathing space and playgrounds for a very large number of people, and become a most popular avenue for pleasure as well as for necessary circulation. Moreover, the great circuit seems to be the line most normal to all the great existing radials, and thus it would be the most economical method of furnishing quick and easy communication. Also it expresses in an ideal manner what is aimed at by all inner circuits, which are angular because of the prohibitive cost of making them follow a continuous curve; and also because a curve for the inner circuits would not develop the necessary articulation with existing important rectangular streets. The degree of curvature of this outer circuit parkway insures an extremely noble effect along its entire length and makes many picturesque angles with the intersecting streets. As a whole, it is intended to be a stately highway, such as does not now exist in any city. The next circuit inside the grand one now largely exists in the form of the great park boulevards of Michigan Avenue, Grand Boulevard, or Drexel Boulevard to Washington Park, Fifty-fifth Street to Gage Park; thence by the West Park boulevards through the West Parks, back by Diversey Boulevard to the Lake, and south to Michigan Avenue. Another circuit is on the same route as the one last mentioned, except that it does not extend so far to the south as Fifty-fifth Street, but goes west to McKinley Park as shown on the diagram. A circuit of very great ultimate importance would extend on Michigan Avenue from Chicago Avenue to Twenty-second Street; thence on Twenty-second Street to Halsted; on Halsted diagonally to the corner of Ashland and Twelfth streets; thence north on Ashland to Union Park; from Union Park diagonally to the corner of Chicago Avenue and Halsted, thence east on Chicago Avenue to the Lake. This route should be a great thoroughfare, affording every facility for the movement of people on foot, in carriages, or in street cars, and for teams as well. It should be very wide and well planted.
