What I think would be a good solution would be to force those two buildings adjacent to Chicago at the River to create a pedestrian arcade for a sidewalk, and then widen the road and bridge to directly abut the buildings. Then you not only have room for multi-lanes in both directions, but also for BRT lanes. I might take the opportunity to widen Chicago to be as wide as its current widest spot all the way to Orleans.
