Redefine the Drive
Chicago, IL, USA
Baird evaluated the existing coastal conditions and developed conceptual alternatives for shoreline improvements along a six mile stretch of Chicago waterfront. The project improves public recreation amenities, shoreline protection and reduces roadway flooding from Lake Michigan storms.
Sediment Transport and Management Study
