(70 ILCS 1310/2) (from Ch. 105, par. 327e)
Sec. 2.
Any such elevated pleasure highway or boulevard may be
constructed upon, along or over any public park, parkway, pleasureway,
driveway, boulevard, street or alley now or hereafter under the control
of the board of park commissioners, or, when, in the judgment of the
board of park commissioners, the public good will be served thereby, a
part or parts of the elevated highway or boulevard may be constructed
upon land not now used for public purposes. In the event that the board
of park commissioners desire to construct an elevated pleasure highway
or boulevard in whole or in part upon a street, road or alley not under
its jurisdiction, it may proceed to do so by obtaining the consent of
the political subdivision having jurisdiction thereof, and the consent
in writing of the owners of a majority of the lineal front feet of the
property abutting on such street, road or alley proposed to be taken
over by the park district, provided, however, in streets, roadways or
boulevards having a width greater than 66 feet between lot lines, no
such frontage consents shall be necessary, where the outside line of the
proposed elevated pleasure highway or boulevard structure, substructure
or superstructure shall be more than 25 feet from
the abutting property
line.
