LFP S-Curve - Why is it slanted and why no wall? - The Chainlink2024-03-29T08:42:12Zhttps://thechainlink.org/forum/topics/lfp-scurve-why-is-it-slanted?feed=yes&xn_auth=noI love the slant.

I love the slant. It usually the windiest part of the path so you either have a terrific headwind to fight or an awesome tailwind and a wide-open stretch to take advantage of it.

On a nice calm day it is one of my favorite parts of the path. As soon as the wind and cold hit is miserable.<br />

I use the LFP in the early mornings for training rides, starting at dawn at the north end. I enjoy the slanted stretch because it is the most wide open, straight a way. I try to sprint the entire length at full effort when it is safe to do so. It and the 40 mph max speed barrier have been my nemisis all season long.

The slope is for drainage. I do not know why they do not have a barrier. I can ask some of the civil guys at work about it.<br />
<br />
The City has that stretch of Lake Shore Drive next on the slate for "mprovement. This will include a realignment of LSD which will cause a realignment of LFP and the S-curve will be significantly altered. It also includes (finally) an LFP overpass over Grand and Illinois.
