(70 ILCS 1250/2) (from Ch. 105, par. 126)
Sec. 2. Whenever any such board of park commissioners shall determine to
extend any such boulevard or driveway under this Act, said board shall
prepare a plan of such proposed extension, and make an estimate of the cost
thereof, and shall obtain the consent in writing of the owners of at least
two-thirds of the frontage of all of the lands not appropriated to or held
for public use abutting on such public waters, in front of which it is
proposed to extend such boulevard or driveway for the making of such
extension, and shall also obtain the consent of the supervisor and assessor
corporate authorities of the town or towns in which the lands abutting on
such public waters in front of such proposed extension may lie, to the
making of such extension. The riparian or other rights of the owners of
lands on the shore adjoining the waters in which it is proposed to
construct such extension, the said board of park commissioners may acquire
by contract with or deeds from any such owner; and in case of inability to
agree with any such owner, proceedings may be had to condemn such rights
according to the provisions of the Eminent Domain Act.
