City Limits
Containment Boundary of Lincoln Park
Urgency of Construction
An all out effort to keep the creatures and the deformed inside the Lincoln Park District.
Disorganized barricades were constructed by civilians, using sand bags, automobiles, and whatever was around at first.
Quick Walls Someone came up with the idea of using
shipping containers for temporary walls
Shipping Container Wall
Shipping Containers could be brought in very quickly and put in place to block streets.
They can be removed easy enough when the permanent wall was put in place.
HESCO Sandbag Walls The military reinforced the temporary
barriers with proven HESCO Walls. Barriers used during the Iraq war to protect important areas.
Containment Wall Line
Streets had to support the wall and construction effort
Street had to be wide enough to allow a patrol corridor on the outside
Block access to waterways (Chicago River – North Branch and Lake Michigan)
Protect Waterways Creatures could used them to escape. In the winter Lake Michigan and Chicago
River freeze over. Chicago River vital for flood control. Diversey Harbor Lagoon drains into
Lake Michigan
North Lake Shore Drive
8 lane express highway that runs north-south along Lake Michigan. Hwy 41
Wide enough to support a permanent wall, secondary barrier.
Under Military Control from North Avenue to Belmont Avenue
That portion of highway is used for military and emergency vehicles, i.e. Fire, Police, Ambulance
Lake Shore Military Zone Set up to deny access to Lake Michigan Main Wall turns south from Diversey
along Cannon Drive to block access to Diversey Harbor Lagoon.
Cannon Drive Wall merges with Lake Shore Wall.
Area between the two walls is a Military Zone
Fullerton Gate
Fortified Access Gate to the contained Lincoln Park Zone
Unmanned vehicles are sent occasionally inside.
Part of the Lake Shore Military Zone
La Salle Dr and North Ave
4 lane street able to support wall Southern Boundary Military Control Point for access to Lake
Shore Drive
North Avenue Wall
4 lane Street Traditional Boundary for Lincoln Park Wall extends to Clybourn Ave
Clybourne Avenue Wall

Lincoln Park District
Diversey Parkway Wall
Extra Wide two lane street Traditional Boundary of Lincoln Park Run East-West, from Clybourn to
Cannon Drive
Cannon Drive Wall
Main Road that runs along the West side of Diversey Harbor Lagoon

Summary
These walls are located along streets that could have been easily supported by the construction effort and patrols.
A complete containment barrier. Provides security to the City of Chicago
against the creatures inside.
