When I consider the streets down under, I think of a weather-shielded passage to the Loop area e.g. Marshall Field’s / Macy’s that is a bit dirty (we’ll take the stroller but won’t roll it into our apt. after) and perhaps unsafe — I would not recommend friends to use it after dark, which is basically commute time now in the winter.

Correct me if I’m wrong (leave a comment), but it seems these “lower” streets will not exist in the Lakeshore East development. Lower Harbor Dr. became a Lancaster parking lot. If you look at all the new developments, it’s not clear where the ingress/egress will be for the new buildings. It appears that it will be all on top. (?)
