Lawrence to Bryn Mawr Modernization Project: Start of Stage a Construction
Lawrence to Bryn Mawr Modernization Project: Start of Stage A Construction Town Hall audience questions from March 2&4, 2021* meetings General questions Q. What does this project cost and how is it funded? A. The $2.1 billion RPM Phase One project is funded through a combination of federal and local funds including: $957 in federal Core Capacity funds (FTA); a federal $125 million Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement (CMAQ) grant from the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP); $622 million in Transit TIF (tax-increment financing) funds from the City of Chicago; and CTA financing. Q. Are updates and notices available in languages other than English? A. Yes. We regularly provide subtitled recordings of past community meetings in Chinese, Spanish and Vietnamese, as well as translated flyers distributed to local community organizations. Additionally, we offer live translation services for public meetings upon request. Q. When will the block-by-block meetings happen? A. They will be scheduled for April 2021. We will notify the public when the dates are finalized. Q. When will the project start? A. Stage A construction is expected to begin Spring 2021. Once construction schedules are finalized, we will notify the public in advance of important construction start dates. Station design/station and track construction Q. Why won’t you have temporary stations at Lawrence and Berwyn? A. There is not enough space available to build temporary stations at those locations, unfortunately. Passengers who normally board at Lawrence can use Wilson or Argyle stations, which are each a quarter mile away and connected via the #36 Broadway bus, and Berwyn customers can use the Bryn Mawr or Argyle stations. -
Lawrence to Bryn Mawr Modernization Station-By-Station Meeting FAQ from May 3-6, 2021
Lawrence to Bryn Mawr Modernization Station-by-Station Meeting FAQ from May 3-6, 2021 The CTA held station-by-station meetings to provide the public with an update of upcoming construction activities for the Lawrence to Bryn Mawr Modernization Project, which is a part of the Red and Purple Modernization (RPM) Phase One project. Below is a summary of the questions and answers discussed in each of the meetings. Bryn Mawr station Q. How long will Bryn Mawr station be under construction and will it be closed at any point? A. The Bryn Mawr station will close on May 16, 2021, but you will still be able to access the Red Line from the new Bryn Mawr temporary station entrances. During Stage A construction (2021-late 2022), there will be a separate entrance for Howard, or northbound, service located on Bryn Mawr. 95th-bound, or southbound, service will use the entrance on Broadway.

When will the temporary station open and will the temporary stations be ADA accessible? The temporary station will open May 16, 2021. It will not be ADA accessible but the new permanent station, opening in 2024, will have both elevator and escalator access. Q.

Oct 30Th – Nov 2Nd
OCT 30TH – NOV 2ND Welcome to the 6th Annual NACTO Designing Cities Conference! NACTO is a space for us to collaborate with peers, celebrate successes, and commiserate about challenges. Without question, this October, this space is more important than ever. The landscape we face in 2017 demands the clear-eyed vision and grounded pragmatism that distinguishes NACTO cities. We have major headwinds and opportunities ahead of us: from autonomous vehicle design and regulation to a soaring number of national traffic fatalities – 37,461 people killed in 2016 – that continue to serve as a sobering reminder of the urgency of our work. We know from experience the power of our shared strength. We’re all here together in Chicago because we care deeply about safe streets, about vibrant public space, and about equitable and sustainable cities. And the work that we’re all doing to make public spaces welcoming and streets accessible to everyone – in cities across the country and world – is beyond measure. From Atlanta to Nashville to Pittsburgh, cities are investing in reliable transit and sustainable transportation, recognizing that physical mobility determines economic and social mobility, and well-designed streets comprise the social fabric of urban places. Streets are important, and not just to us. This past year, we’ve been reminded anew of the fundamental importance of streets as places of public discourse and civic engagement. From the 4 million people who joined the Women’s March in cities from DC to Denver to Detroit, to the thousands of people participating in CicLAvia in a demonstration of community and joy in my own town of Los Angeles – streets play a central role in our cities. -

1 Lawrence to Bryn Mawr Modernization: Virtual Public
Lawrence to Bryn Mawr Modernization: Virtual Public Meeting July 14, 2020 We thank everyone who participated in this virtual public meeting about the Red and Purple Modernization (RPM) Phase One Project. Below are all of the questions we received with our responses. If you have further questions, please contact us at [email protected]. Aesthetics o Will the new track structure be coated with anything to protect from wear, erosion, graffiti, etc.? The new structure and associated columns use high performance concrete and receive an anti-graffiti coating to make them easier to clean. Aesthetics/Design o Will the community have an opportunity to comment on station design and/or aesthetics before they are finalized? The community will have opportunities to engage on community identity and aesthetic elements of the new stations and infrastructure. Follow the RPM website and sign up for project alerts for information on these opportunities in the future. o How will the Bryn Mawr Hollywood exit be designed so it doesn’t become another “pigeon poop alley"? The new Bryn Mawr station’s planned Hollywood auxiliary entrance is being designed to minimize horizontal surfaces where birds may roost. Where horizontal surfaces cannot be avoided, anti-bird measures will be installed to prevent birds from gathering. The entrance will also be an enclosed structure. Businesses o How can I learn more about the Open for Business Program? There is a section on the CTA RPM website that discusses the Open for Business campaign and further information will be provided soon once additional elements of the campaign are launched: https://www.transitchicago.com/rpm/openforbusiness/ o How will local businesses be supported throughout the project? CTA believes it is important to, at every step, support local businesses as we perform the work to modernize our rail structure. -
