  • Project Scope Why Is This Work Necessary? How Will This Benefit Red Line Riders?
    Red Line South Track Renewal project Cermak-Chinatown to 95th Street Spring/Summer 2013 CTA is planning to rebuild the South Red Line from just north of Cermak-Chinatown to 95th Street. The work will benefit Red Line riders for decades to come—through faster travel times, increased reliability, and spruced-up stations with a variety of improvements. As part of the project, in Spring/Summer 2013 the Red Line will be completely closed from Roosevelt Road to 95th Street for five months. CTA will offer several alternative travel options during this closure to minimize the impact on customers as much as possible (see other side of this page). Cermak- Faster travel times Better reliability Improved stations Chinatown Project scope CTA will replace all of the ties, rails, third rails, drainage system and ballast (the stone material that holds the ties in place) in the Red Line right of way. Additionally, all nine stations along the Dan Ryan Branch will be improved, from basic enhancements like new paint and better lighting Sox-35th to additional customer amenities, like new benches and bike racks. New elevators will be installed at the Garfield, 63rd and 87th Street stations—making the entire South Red Line fully accessible. 47th Garfield Why is this work necessary? The Dan Ryan Branch was built in 1969, when Richard Nixon was in the White House, a gallon 63rd of gas cost 35 cents and Gale Sayers won the NFL rush- ing title. The original tracks are well beyond their expected Dan Ryan terminal dedication 1969 lifespan, and call for a complete replacement.

  • December 2020 Project Management Oversight Report
    Project Management Oversight December 2020 REPORT ON PROJECT MANAGEMENT OVERSIGHT – DECEMBER 2020 Executive Summary This semi‐annual Report on Project Management Oversight details Service Board efforts in implementing their capital programs. Included are details on all state‐funded projects, regardless of budget, and all systemwide projects with budgets of $10 million or more, regardless of funding source. Information in this report was collected by direct , interviews project meetings, and documented submissions from Service Board project management teams. The RTA’s 2018‐2023 Regional Transit Strategic Plan, Invest in Transit, highlights $30 billion of projects that are needed to maintain and modernize the region’s transit network. To maintain and preserve the current system in a State of Good Repair (SGR), as well as address the backlog of deferred SGR projects, requires a capital investment of $2 to $3 billion per year. The Rebuild Illinois funding is planned to expedite overdue repair and replacement projects, reduce the backlog of deferred improvements, and move the system toward a state of good repair. It nearly doubles the previous five‐year regional capital program of $4.3 billion. The funds enable real progress on the state of good repair, by allowing improvements and in some cases replace aging system assets. Although this has been a difficult year due to operating funding shortfalls related to COVID‐19, the Service Boards are continuing with the implementation of their capital programs. This report includes, for the first time, 13 Rebuild Illinois projects representing $655 million in Rebuild Illinois funding. The 13 projects reported on have begun during this reporting period and have ongoing activities.

  • 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.

  • USEPA Brownfields Cleanup Grant Proposal Narrative
    USEPA Brownfields Cleanup Grant Proposal Narrative 1807-15 North Kimball Avenue in Chicago, Illinois 1. PROJECT AREA DESCRIPTION AND PLANS FOR REVITALIZATION 1.a.i. Background and Description of Target Area: The brownfield property that is the subject of this cleanup grant is located at 1807-15 North Kimball Avenue in Chicago, Illinois (herein referred to as “the Site”). The Site has the most immediate impact on the Logan Square and Humboldt Park neighborhoods. Following the Great Fire of 1871, as well as the arrival of railways in the 1880s and 1890s, these two neighborhoods experienced the same rapid growth as the City. The late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries saw waves of European immigration into Logan Square and Humboldt Park. By 1960, however, much of the European-descended population had moved away, and the two neighborhoods had become the site of a burgeoning Hispanic and Latino community. By 1990, Hispanic and Latino residents comprised approximately 67% of the Logan Square’s population, and by 2000, they comprised approximately 48% of Humboldt Park’s population.1 The Logan Square and Humboldt Park neighborhoods are situated in the northwestern portion of Chicago, with Humboldt Park located directly south of Logan Square. The Bloomingdale Trail is an elevated greenway constructed on a former railroad that passes through the two neighborhoods and forms the backbone of a park and trail network called The 606, an extremely popular and successful park and trail network with over a million users each year. Trails such as this one help make bicycle travel a safe, attractive transportation alternative to travel by car, helping to reduce traffic congestion and improve air quality.

  • SMC Expo Phase II DEIR
    To: Chui L. Tsang, Superintendent/President From: Don Girard, Senior Director, Government Relations Re: Expo Phase II Draft EIR and Related Issues Date: February 25, 2009 The Exposition Metro Line Construction Authority (a joint powers agency of the MTA (Metro), Los Angeles County, and the cities of Los Angeles, Santa Monica, and Culver City) has prepared a Draft EIR on the extension of the Exposition Light Rail line from Culver City to downtown Santa Monica. The DEIR studies a number of alternative routes. The Authority will choose one of the routes, consider other public comments, and issue a Final EIR later this year. Comments are due March 13, 2009. Importantly, the extension now includes a 17th Street station that will be of great benefit to Santa Monica College and its students and staff. The extension is planned to begin operations in 2015. This memo provides a brief description of the planned light rail extension; a brief background description of the current and planned light rail system; some issues related to the 17th Street station and to the maintenance facility; and an update on College activities in support of the project. EXPO PHASE II PLANNED EXTENSION The rail line enters Santa Monica along the Exposition ROW (right-of-way). There is an aerial crossing at Bundy; a street-level crossing at Centinela with crossing gates and a new traffic signal; a street-level crossing at Stewart with crossing gates only; a street-level crossing at 26th with crossing gates and the existing signal; and an aerial crossing at Cloverfield and at Olympic.
