This bicycle tour will look at the city parks developed on both banks of the Chicago River. We will cycle through the intense development of the old Chicago Dock and Canal property on the north side of the river facilitated by the $35 million bascule bridge on Columbus Drive which made the property much more accessible. This was all on the taxpayers’ dime. Finally we will stop at Trump Tower before heading back. Bob Jene is your guide.
