We have a once in a generation chance to make things so much better for the millions of landbirds, shorebirds, waterfowl, etc. that use our lakefront. They are counting on you to speak for them.

North DuSable Lakeshore Drive is going to undergo some very big changes. View the plans here: https://chicagobirdalliance.org/blog/2024/4/15/give-feedback-on-dusable-lakeshore-drive-expansion

As we know, some of the city’s prime bird habitat is along the lakefront. Chicago Bird Alliance is collecting ideas about how to improve the area for birds and how to minimize disruptions to bird habitat. These ideas will be delivered to the US Fish and Wildlife Service, who is on the planning team.

Please reply by May 10.
