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. -
American Road Courses
American Road Courses Road America Watkins Glen Meadowdale Laguna Seca Westwood Riverside Mid Ohio Every Road Course Daytona of Past and Present in the United States Mosport and Canada Sebring Barber Miller Rob Semmeling American Road Courses Page 2 Introduction This file lists all permanentpaved road courses - i.e. non-oval racing circuits - in the United States and Canada. In most cases, 'permanent' is synonymous with 'purpose-built'. However, some circuits were not purpose-built but actually started out as tempo- rary courses. Florida's Sebring International Raceway, for example, was originally a temporary airfield course, laid out over the runways of Hendricks Field. Likewise, Portland International Raceway in Oregon evolved from a street course. Both circuits are nowadays permanent facilities. The starting point for this list was the 2003 edition of Allan Brown's book "A History of America's Speedways: Past & Present". This is an indispensable reference work for which Allan cannot be praised enough. However, in the book the road courses are a bit buried between the vast number of ovals. Listing them separately gives a better overview. Also, I found the information in the book is not always accurate. It is an excellent basis for further research but the data should be treated with great care. I have done my best to present the most correct and accurate info in this file, although there may well be errors here and there. In general, there are three main types of American road courses. The most interesting are the 'pure' road courses which were built specifically for road racing. -

Chiflu – Corflu 33
Progress Report 1 DECEMBER 2015 Chif lu – Corflu 33 Chicago 2016 – May 13-15 Progress Report 2 April 2016 (RIP Art. A trufan and a true friend to us all.) Home Stretch Well here we are one month out from Corflu 2016. This is the "now it gets real" moment for any convention. The list of to-dos gets longer every day, especially as things previously neglected suddenly rear their head ("Can I park your car for $60 a day sir?" and "I'm sorry do your attendees expect chairs in the conference room?"). The last one being a real question asked many years ago as we setup a con venue. It has been a while since I last organized a con, and those are two perfect reasons why that has remained true! But, the end is nigh, and we will have a "great time" - to paraphrase a wannabe contemporary politician, we will also have "the best time." Thank you President, er.. I mean King Trump for those inspiring words to live and plan cons by. This progress report sets the tone for what to expect at "the Chiflu". Conveniently hosted in downtown Chicago, there's a wealth of things to distract you from the actual con, and I implore you to take full advantage of the opportunity to enjoy our fine city. Except of course when there's programming happening. It is hard to walk around Chicago and not be inspired by the amazing architecture, public art, friendly locals, and sheer exuberance of it all. Also, spring has gotten off to a "great" start, and we are fully expecting "great" things in mid-May. -

Milwaukee Road
, T E MARC GREEN: -30 Marc Green, director of information services, retired on March 31, ending a distinguished ca reer of 39 years with the Milwaukee Road. For 36 of those years it would be no exaggeration to state that Marc served as the voice of the railroad. Marc joined the Milwaukee in 1936 in the Real Estate Department. He transferred to the Public Relations Department in 1939 as assist ant editor of the Milwaukee Road Magazine, one of the railroad industry's oldest employee pub lications. Marc became editor in 1940, a post he filled ably and creatively until 1958 when he was named director of publicity. He was appointed director of information services in 1972. During his long career Marc wrote literally millions of words about the Milwaukee Road. His positions in the Public Relations Department provided him with a vantage point afforded to few people who have worked for the railroad. In the magazine, annual reports, countless news releases and an endless procession of other publi cations Marc reported the activities of the Mil waukee Road during some of the most exciting years of its history. Marc was also active in various professional associations. He is a former president of the American Railroad Magazine Editors Associa tion (now the Association of Railroad Editors) ; a member of the Chicago Chapter of the Public Relations Society of America; a member of the Chicago Public Relations Clinic; and a member of the Railroad Public Relations Association. Those who had the privilege of associating with Marc Green know him as a talented writer, a keen observer of the times and a loyal and ded icated employee. -

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.
