“It’s going to work better for commercial transportation and for the recreation and tour boats that use the waterway downtown. It won’t impede that downtown access near Navy Pier and there are also other advantages from the commercial transportation standpoint down at Lake Calumet.”
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has so far resisted the idea of restricting the flow of the Mississippi River basin into Lake Michigan, and is doing its own study. But that won’t be complete for three more years.
Eder say he thinks his group’s study will move the Army Corps ahead of schedule.
