The innermost circuit utilizes Michigan Avenue, Twelfth Street, and Canal Street; thence diagonally to Halsted and Congress streets; thence again diagonally to Washington and Canal streets; thence on Washington Street to the Lake. This circuit should have an underground and an overhead loop for passengers, except that the overhead line should swing over Wabash Avenue instead of over Michigan Avenue. The following existing east-and-west streets should be widened and much improved: Graceland Avenue, Diversey Boulevard, North Avenue, Indiana Avenue, Chicago Avenue, Washington Street, Congress Street extended and very much widened. Twelfth Street should become a great viaduct, beginning at grade at Michigan Avenue and extending elevated over to Canal; and it should not be less than 180 feet in width as shown on drawings. Sixteenth Street and also Twenty-second Street should be widened. It would be wise, also, to widen each of the section-limit streets running east and west, and also the half-section streets. South Park Avenue (which is the extension of Grand Boulevard) should be carried over the Illinois Central right-of-way from Twenty-second Street to Grant Park, over which it should pass to that railroad’s north freight yards; thence over the yards and the main branch of the river, and on until it connects with the Lincoln Park Lake Shore Drive on the North Side. This would form a continuous outer boulevard connecting the Lincoln Park and South Park systems with the utmost correctness, and in a fine manner. This way would enable people to pass by the business center when they do not desire to enter it, and would be an additional thoroughfare to and from the center. [Illustration: CVII. CHICAGO.

COPYRIGHT, 1909, BY COMMERCIAL CLUB OF CHICAGO ] The cost of this improvement would amount to comparatively little for condemnation of private property; the space to be taken would be only that necessary to widen Grand Boulevard to Twenty-second Street, and to carry through the route on the North Side portion. The right-of-way over the railroad from Twenty-second Street to Grant Park, and from Grant Park to the river should be obtained without cost.
