PROJECT DESCRIPTION Please describe project. This project will completely reconstruct a major station on the Loop Elevated serving five CTA lines and providing transfer connections to the Red Line and eight CTA bus routes. Its high profile, busy location on historic State Street in Downtown Chicago is adjacent to the Chicago Theater, WLS-TV Studios, Siskel Film Center, Harold Washington College, Hotel Wit, and Renaissance Hotel. Although there have been piecemeal improvements over the years, major functional elements date to either its 1895 construction or 1913 modifications, which are both far beyond the 60-year useful life standard for such a facility. It also lacks ADA access and its 7’-6” wide platforms are narrow for contemporary standards. A total reconstruction of this station will upgrade the deteriorated and outdated facility and will enhance station appearance and operation. This project would fully reconstruct all elements of the station including new ADA- accessible elevators, fare collection, lighting, electrical, mechanical, communications, signage, and a new security system of cameras and monitors. Fare control point capacity for the station will increase 43% by increasing the number of turnstiles from 7 (4 outer, 3 inner) turnstiles to 11 - including ADA-accessible gates. Capacity will also increase by widening the train platform from 7’ 6” to 10’ in some areas, 13’ in others and making platform lighting more uniform. Train Tracker electronic signage and improved public address system will also be included. To meet security needs, a surveillance system will be installed to monitor stairways, mezzanine, and platform. The system consists of off-site monitors and 20 cameras. The system will allow passengers to feel secure in all station areas, thereby expanding effective capacity. New back-up systems will also provide security for CTA riders in event of a power failure or emergency. The new station will have an Essential Transit System (ETS)/Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS). In the event power from the CTA 600V DC rail (which is converted to AC power) fails, the system automatically switches to a Commonwealth Edison source. Even if both sources fail, the lighting system throughout the station will be available at 5% of its usual intensity, and exit signs will remain lit to allow passengers to exit the station safely. Even non-transit users will benefit as the existing bent (columns) located in the middle of State Street will be removed, improving sight lines and removing obstacles. The vertical clearance of the structure will increase from 13’6” to 14’6.” This will be achieved through installation of a long span (110’ x 56”) structure that will be installed over a three day holiday weekend. Otherwise, the station will remain open during construction. This project was initially proposed as part of the Master Plan for the Loop Elevated Rehabilitation and Historic Preservation completed in 1981, which supports the GO TO 2040 action area to “Focus Investment on maintenance and modernization.” Since completion of the plan in 1981, other recommendations in this plan have been implemented including the Washington/Wells consolidation, Quincy/Wells historic preservation, and the new Library Station. This would be the penultimate project in the plan, following Washington/Wabash and leaving only LaSalle/Van Buren. Excerpts of this plan are provided. The station is included in the Chicago Central Area Plan (2003) and its follow up, the Central Area Action Plan as one of the “CTA Station Improvements” recommended. These comprehensive plans support GOTO 2040 recommendations, including “Use livability principles to plan for land use in development near transit.” Excerpts of the Action Plan are provided and the full report can be found at: https://www.cityofchicago.org/city/en/depts/dcd/supp_info/central_area_action_plan.html.
