Tentatively, 140 N Ashland looks like it could be a big win all the way around.

I believe The Women's Treatment Center owns that building (they are a 501c3 and the property is listed as tax exempt). So hopefully they are getting a nice chunk of change they can use to build a shiny new building.

This also makes Union Park more of an anchor point to pull development further west down Randolph. With the Ashland stop right there, hopefully it can spur more restaurants etc. on the west end of Randolph. There's a few places like Kaiser Tiger, but most of the Randolph restaurant activity is still east of Morgan.

AND, as left of center mentioned, it makes redeveloping the UC lots more and more attractive. I sometimes daydream about what I would do if I owned the Bulls. #1 is fix the team, but a close #2 is redevelop all those parking lots and get a convenient station added to the Pink line.
