  • STOCKYARDS Archer Avenue Technical Assistance Panel: Remaking an Historic Corridor June 2006
    Chicago Neighborhoods 2015: Assets, Plans and Trends – A project of The Chicago Community Trust STOCKYARDS Archer Avenue Technical Assistance Panel: Remaking an Historic Corridor June 2006 Community Areas: Bridgeport Urban Land Institute, Metropolitan Planning Council, Alderman Balcer A Technical Assistance Panel (TAP) was formed in 2006 to address transportation, retail and marketing issues, pedestrian safety, land-use regulations and the creation of an identity for Archer Avenue. In 1964, the Stevenson Expressway was built, creating a barrier between Archer Avenue in Bridgeport and the rest of Chicago. Recently, the construction of the Stearns Quarry Park and the demolition of the bridge over Ashland Avenue have provided new opportunities for the area. The TAP includes recommendations that can provide further opportunity through infrastructure, development, and understanding the market potential of the Archer Avenue corridor. General Recommendations: Assess the market potential; Upgrade street infrastructure; Focus on transit-oriented development; Establish gateways and midpoint; Fill in the streetwall; Review zoning and financing. Specific Recommendations: Improve utilization of the Ashland El stop by improving signage; Add a walking path along Bubbly Creek and a kiss-and-ride feature, as well as more parking; Add service and commuter-focused businesses at the Halsted station; Create bumpouts at Archer Avenue and Loomis Street; Add parking and install an historic marker to make this the center of the neighborhood; Improve access to

  • Meeting Display Boards for Public Meetings on the Ashland Avenue Ashland Avenue Bus Rapid Transit Project, Held December 10 and 11, 2013
    Meeting Display Boards for Public Meetings on the Ashland Avenue Ashland Avenue Bus Rapid Transit Project, held December 10 and 11, 2013. Logos: CTA in partnership with Chicago Department of Transportation and Chicago Department of Housing and Economic Development Welcome: Welcome to the public open house for the Ashland Avenue Bus Rapid Transit Environmental Assessment and project. • In April 2013, CTA and CDOT announced a vision for a center running Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system on Ashland Avenue between Irving Park Road and 95th Street to provide a fast and reliable north/ south transit connection for 16 miles through Chicago. The vision reflects the planning process and community engagement undertaken in 2012. • Over the summer, CTA and CDOT heard from various key stakeholders about this plan. We are now holding two public open house meetings as an extension of this outreach to gather additional input from the public. CTA and CDOT are still developing the Ashland BRT design, and we are considering options and modifications, including the implementation of additional left turns, based on continued feedback from the public. • The public open house meetings will summarize studies of the project impacts, including traffic analyses, that have been performed as part of the formal Environmental Assessment for the project, in accordance with federal government requirements. The Environmental Assessment is now complete and available on CTA’s website and in hard copy at several community locations. CTA and CDOT would like your comments on the Environmental Assessment, which can be made at the public open houses or by e-mail at [email protected].

  • Metra Increasing Service on 7 More Lines Enhanced Schedules to Take Effect July 12
    News Release Metra Media Relations 312-322-6776 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Metra increasing service on 7 more lines Enhanced schedules to take effect July 12 CHICAGO (July 1, 2021) – Metra today posted schedules for expanded rush hour service to begin Monday, July 12 on seven additional lines to meet growing ridership. New schedules will take effect July 12 on the Heritage Corridor, Milwaukee District North and West, SouthWest Service, North Central Service and Union Pacific Northwest and West lines. On the same day, Metra will also launch previously announced new pilot schedules on the BNSF, Metra Electric and UP North lines that provide more off-peak options. A similar pilot schedule for the Rock Island Line is set to take effect on July 19. “My Metra is about listening to the needs of our riders. These new schedules are intended to help our customers transition back to a regular work commute providing them with more choices and flexibility,” said Metra CEO/Executive Director Jim Derwinski. “We expect ridership to continue to increase as the summer progresses and will continue to monitor conditions and make schedule adjustments that are responsive to our customers’ needs.” The new schedules can be viewed now at metrarail.com. In addition to new trains, there are minor adjustments to the timetables of some existing trains on some lines; customers are advised to review the new schedules to see if the timetables of their trains have changed. All the changes are highlighted on the new schedules. The guiding principles for Metra’s service restoration are to provide consistent and frequent service throughout the day; create easily understandable and memorable service patterns; implement new express service when possible in the peak travel periods; explore reverse-commute and new ridership markets; promote regional equity and create transfer opportunities within Metra and with other transit services.
