HYDE PARK — The Chicago Park District will present revised plans for lakeshore improvements near a shipwreck off 49th Street during a Feb. 26 meeting.
The park district will present updated plans at a 6:30 p.m. meeting at Kennicott Park field house, 4434 S. Lake Park Ave., after presenting several options in December.
The section of lakefront includes a rocky beach with the wreck of the Silver Spray ferry, which crashed on Morgan Shoal in 1914.
The Park District’s plan would extend the shoreline out into the lake nearly up to the shoal, but could also raise the land so high that the lake could no longer be seen from Lake Shore Drive.
Construction is not expected to start for 2½ years.
