Opposition in Chicago prepares to attack Lucas plan for waterfront museum. Still, the museum has drawn opposition from open-space advocates, such as Friends of the Parks. Among the 14 “basic policies” of the Lakefront Plan of Chicago, adopted by the city council in 1973, is that “in no instance will further private development be permitted east of Lake Shore Drive.” And the Lakefront Protection Ordinance says that the plan commissions decisions “shall be made in conformity with” those policies. “We will do what it takes and that very well may be a lawsuit,” Friends of the Parks President Cassandra Francis said. “We are in coalition-building mode, but we are very optimistic, based on discussions, that we will have a broad group of organizations joining us” in opposing the lakefront location for the museum.
