Time to take a walk - a river walk

The Chicago Tribune had a great article on the near completion of the river walk to State Street.



The Michigan Ave to Wabash section is complete. The above picture shows O'Brien's Cafe along with the new walking path.

The good news is that the Wabash to State part will complete in the next two weeks. When complete, it will end near the Vietnam Memorial and Marina City. You will be able to walk direct on the river level from Marina Towers to the lake without having to go up and down stairs at each street and going under all the traffic.



The under bridge elements keep traffic debris off pedestrians and resemble the Cloud Gate (The Bean) exterior.



Just in time for summer!
