The outside curb lanes would be converted to dedicated busways. This would also include enhanced transit passenger boarding platforms and bus prioritization at key intersections. Michigan Avenue Existing Michigan Avenue Proposed Current Transit Connections Busway Link Benefits* CTA Bus Routes: • Up to 20% reduction in passenger travel time • #2, #3, #4, #6, #10, #20, #26, #60, #124, #125, #143, #146, #147, #148, #151, #157 Busway Link Features Pace Bus Routes • Twelve dedicated boarding platforms • #850, #851 and #855 • Queue jumps give buses priority at busy CTA L Stations: intersections, including Washington, Randolph, • Green, Purple, Brown, Red and Pink Lake, Water, Wacker, Ontario, Erie, Huron, Superior, Lines (Randolph/Wabash and Madison Pearson, Chestnut, Delaware and Walton Wabash) • No additional passenger capacity Metra Electric District Line * These are theoretical values and do not take into account limiting factors on Michigan Avenue that will likely neutralize time and cost savings.
