chicago park district
The Chicago Park District took a formal step Wednesday toward building two city harbors, which could open as early as 2011 and will create approximately 1,100 boating slips.
The Park District enlisted the Public Building Commission to oversee the construction of Chicago Gateway Harbor and 31st Street Harbor. Work is scheduled to begin next spring.
The projects, estimated to cost about $110 million, still must be authorized by state lawmakers, the Chicago Plan Commission and the Army Corps of Engineers.
The Chicago Gateway Harbor would replace the dilapidated Dime Pier, located about 480 feet south of Navy Pier and 400 feet north of Chicago Harbor Lock, and be used primarily by visiting boaters, Park District officials have said.
The harbors would be the first built since DuSable Harbor opened with 420 slips in 2000.
