Lake Shore Drive is an expressway running parallel with and next to Lake Michigan through Chicago, Illinois, USA. Originally opened as Leif Erickson Drive in 1937, it was renamed Lake Shore Drive in 1946. Plans were made to extend Lake Shore Drive farther north through Rogers Park and into Evanston. Plans were abandoned as a result of protests against cutting neighborhoods off from the lake. Specifically, Rogers Park voters rejected the extension in a referendum in November 2004. Massive white boulders along the lakefront at Loyola University Chicago still remain from the original expansion project.
