Revised Route for Critical Mass Great Chicago Fire Perimeter ride 9-26-14

Propose that we ride the perimeter of the Great Chicago Fire on Friday for Fire Prevention month (observed in October all across the nation because of the Chicago fire).  The route that comes close to the perimeter:
East on Washington from Daly Plaza
R on Wabash, L on Jackson, R on Columbus, R on Balbo, L on Michigan, R on Roosevelt, R on Jefferson, R on Taylor (after passing the origin of the fire at DeKoven), L on Canal, R on Jackson, L on Wacker, L on Orleans (Franklin Street Bridge), L on Grand, R on Milwaukee, R on Elston, R on North Ave, R on Clybourn, L on Division, L on Wells, L on Goethe, R on Sedgewick, R on Evergreen, L on N Park Ave, L on Concord, R on Sedgewick, L on Eugenie, R on St. Michael Court, R on Willow, L on Fern, R on Menomonee, L on N Lincoln Park West, R on Wiscosin, L on Clark, R on N. Lincoln Park W, R on Fullerton.  10 min break and mass up at The Nature Museum parking lot.  (end of the perimeter)
Then--North on Cannon, R on Sheridan, L on Oakdale, L Racine, R on Diversey, L on Damen, R on North Avenue.  End at Homboldt Park.

The only question I have about this route is if it is possible to get from Jackson to Orleans on Wacker (on the level that meets the bridge).

Yes, the Franklin bridge is on the level of upper Wacker.

I followed the whole thing on the map.  Main concerns:

-I thought I recalled some sort of major construction project on Grand near Wolf Point? I don't go that way regularly.

-the section that winds through side streets around St. Michael's-- I love that sort of thing but much more compatible with the smaller-mass months that the 3,000 rider months.  Would be cool for the Halloween ride.
