CHICAGO (CBS) — After more than 70 years, it’s time for a new North Lake Shore Drive, according to a local think tank that is trying to round up public input for the effort.

Metropolitan Planning Council transportation director Chrissy Mancini said city and state transportation officials will hold public hearings Aug. 6, 7, and 8 to see what ideas the public can offer to make the Lakefront roadway all it can be.

Planners are seeking suggestions for updating the lakefront between Grand and Hollywood avenues.
