  • 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.

  • HISTORICAL CALENDAR Added Historical Notes Follow Calendar
    2020 HISTORICAL CALENDAR Added historical notes follow calendar Chicago Transit Authority JANUARY 2020 After a snow in December 1951, CTA streetcar #4231 is making its way down Halsted to its terminus at 79th Street. Built in 1948 by the Pullman Company in Chicago, car #4231 was part of a fleet of 600 Presidents Conference Committee (PCC) cars ordered by Chicago Surface Lines (CSL) just before its incorporation into the Chicago Transit Authority. At 48 feet, these were the longest streetcars used in any city. Their comfortable riding experience, along with their characteristic humming sound and color scheme, earned them being nicknamed “Green Hornets” after a well-known radio show of the time. These cars operated on Chicago streets until the end of streetcar service, June 21, 1958. Car #4391, the sole survivor, is preserved at the Illinois Railway Museum in Union, IL.

  • What It Means to Patrons of the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Ry
    What it means to patrons of the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Ry. ] The Union Elevated Loop ... and the ... ElevatED Railway Systems in Chicago. Their usefulness in connection with travel over The Lake Shore & Michigan Southern Railway. COPYRlGH'l', 1898, by A. J. SMI'fH, Gen. P"ss. & l'kt. Agt. THE UNION ELEVATED LOOP. The Union Elevated Loop is that portion of Chicago's Elevated Railway system which unites the entire system of that city into one common whole, hence the name" Union." It may be termed the clear- ing point for all elevated trains of the city, as all trains in the system, from whatsoever lines they may come, must pass out upon and run entirely around the Loop until they arrive at the oncoming point, from whence they make their way, returning to the terminus of their respective lines, either on the west, north or south side, as the case may be. The Union Elevated Loop is a double-track struc- ture, its line running east on Van Buren street from Fifth avenue to Wabash avenue, thence north to Lake street, thence west to Fifth avenue, thence south to Van Buren street. The distance covered by the Loop is two miles and it encloses, practically, the great busi- ness, shopping, hotel and theatre district of Chicago. More than one thousand trains per day of twenty- four hours pass the Loop (all stopping directly at the Lake Shore station in Van Buren street) at regular stated intervals; the trains average three cars per train and are run on regular time schedules the 'same as those on steam railways.

The original subways — this one and the State Street Subway one block east — were started as New Deal WPA projects, with ownership held by the City of Chicago. State Street was completed in 1943, allowed to continue despite WWII materials and manpower shortages due to its importance for the transport of war workers, but Dearborn- Milwaukee was put on hold and not completed until 1951. Each station in the Loop has two mezzanine A VIP crowd views the opening of the Dearborn Sub- entrances, with a stopping location on the continuous way in February 1951. platform between the mezzanines. Each track runs in a separate parallel tunnel. O’Hare Branch (Milwaukee elevated) The Blue Line rises onto an elevated structure just after Division station. This segment was built in 1895 as the Metropolitan West Side Elevated’s Logan Square (Northwest) Branch. The subway was not its original path downtown; the original path turned south at the subway portal and ran parallel to Paulina Street, meeting the Metropolitan main line into downtown at Marshfield Junction. We will visit the former location of this junction later and see a small remaining section of this former trackage. Three original Met stations survive here: Damen, Western, and California. All retain some original 19th century features, variously including original station houses, canopies, platforms, and/or lights.
