The Campaign for a Free and Clear Lakefront is a grassroots coalition to remove Lakeshore Drive from Grant Park, and eventually the entire Chicago shoreline. The Daniel Burnham Centennial Lakefront Vision Ride will provide cyclists an intimate view of the lakefront to experience Burnham's vision first hand. Discussion breaks will challenge participants to revision a healthier and safer Grant Park, and learn more about the international depaving movement.
