CTA to obtain feedback on Red Line extension


advertisement

This week, the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) will hold two public meetings to obtain input on the latest analysis and a recommended locally preferred alternative for the proposed extension of Red Line's Dan Ryan branch.

CTA is considering transit technologies and alignments in a study area bordered by 95th Street on the north, Ashland Avenue on the west, Stony Island Avenue on the east, and the Cal-Sag Channel/Little Calumet River and 134th Street on the south. The proposed Red Line Extension would relieve congestion at CTA's existing 95th Street Red Line station and help the agency better manage future traffic growth, according to the authority.
