Emphasis has been placed on the main spine of the pedway to categorize areas of improvement. Development of the Pedway began in 1951, when the City of Chicago built one-block tunnels connecting the Red Line and Blue Line subways at Washington Street and Jackson Boulevard. Since then, both public and private investment have expanded the Pedway, and the system now connects more than 50 buildings. 1 Chicago’s downtown pedestrian way system, the Pedway, lies in the heart of the city. This system of underground tunnels and overhead bridges links more than 40 blocks in the Central Business District, covering roughly five miles. 1 Used by tens of thousands of pedestrians each day, the Pedway connects to public and private buildings, CTA stations and commuter rail facilities. 1 1 City of Chicago 3 ENVIRONMENTAL LAW AND POLICY CENTER 02 OVERALL SCOPE Initial Meeting 01 LEGEND 01 Thompson Center 02 City Hall 03 Richard J.

  • To: CMAQ Project Selection Committee Re: Chicago Pedway Reconstruction + System Wayfinding Replacement Project
    To: CMAQ Project Selection Committee Re: Chicago Pedway Reconstruction + System Wayfinding Replacement Project July 31, 2019 We write in support of the above-referenced application submitted by CDOT on March 15, 2019. We are very grateful to your committee for placing the proposal on the list of FFY 2020-2024 Staff Recommended Programs for a recommended total cost of $13,500,000. As you know, we have been instrumental in gaining support from a diverse array of businesses, governmental agencies and civic organizations to convert this underutilized civic asset into an indispensable element of our transportation grid. We now have their enthusiastic cooperation, including offers from several private businesses to participate in the non-federal cost share. This application is the culmination of a multi-year effort to respond to public demand for a safe and workable Pedway system, with reliable connections between underground walkways in the downtown area to public transit stations. A crucial element of the new Pedway would be a modern wayfinding system guiding pedestrians from ground level down to the Pedway; along and through the Pedway; and up and out to various destinations. Providing above-ground signage that directs users to the Pedway, as well as maps and signage for users as they move through the Pedway, will greatly enhance its value in Chicago’s transportation system. Commuters arriving from the South Side to Metra Millennium Park station can use the Pedway to access County Buildings, City Hall, and the State of Illinois (Thompson) Center. Access to all eight CTA downtown lines is available through the Pedway via Thompson Center’s Clark/Lake Station, the Red Line’s Lake Station or the Blue Line’s Washington Station.

  • WANDER 2019 2 | Mutterhood.Com Wander 2019 | 3
    mutterhoodevery woman is a story WANDER 2019 2 | mutterhood.com wander 2019 | 3 welcome Road trip, anyone? Imagine just hopping in a car and driving, no destination in mind, the windows open, music playing, a bag of M&Ms or gummy bears, and in a perfect diet-Coke-is-good-for-you world a Big Gulp filled with ice resting in the cup holder. Sounds amazing, right? While the great American road trip isn’t in the cards for most of us this fall, we think the spirit of the wide open road certainly should be. Sometimes all it takes is to enjoy something familiar in a new way, which is the idea behind this issue, WANDER. The idea of wandering is to walk or move in a leisurely or aimless way, so taking that to heart we set out for this issue just to see what we could find. We rode the rails one beautiful fall morning to enjoy the view above the streets, and we strolled the pedway below ground with a woman whose business it is to show people what it is they pass by. Our stories cut a path through memory, and show how even simple tasks can take our thoughts in unexpected directions. Along the way we discovered women whose ambitions matched their dreams, leading them to accomplish things few of us could even imagine. We encourage you to drive without a destination, look up to the sky, follow a thought you’re tempted to brush away, and ask a question when you don’t know the answer.
