Do you mean Lake Shore Park? I certainly hope not. There is little park space in Streeterville as it is and Northwestern has a huge lot on which to build nearly anything they want on a parcel at Erie/Fairbanks. Some of which they actually carve out park/public space for as well. I find it irritating that with no obvious plans to develop the lot that they don't make it in a Byrant Park Esque meadow to host sports or at least make it a dog park or something. It just sits there as a fenced-off waste as of now.
I'd love to see a substantial green landbridge actually one day connect Lake Shore Park and the Lake Front path someday, perhaps as part of the North LSD redevelopment project.
