Paul, It was quite an innovation for it's time - pre super highways (1930's). It had a set of curbs that could be raised or lowered, changing the road from 4 lanes southbound into city center in the AM and 2 northbound into 4 lane northbound out of the city in the PM and 2 southbound. The LSD and Outer Drive are argueably the prettiest drive in Chicago. (Music here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pAdDS7ILVYs&NR=1 ) Regards, Bob S.
