I have a property near Chicago and Damen. Do they make it that far?

Yup, they definitely do. They extend past Western for sure, but I'm not sure where their terminus is.
*EDIT*
Found an article on this:

Apparently they are only temporary in an effort to reduce crowding on buses during the pandemic. For Chicago Ave, they run from Ashland to Laramie. 79th between Western and Cicero has also been given bus only lanes. I think they are a great idea, and wouldn't be averse to them sticking around on a permanent basis, although I guess we would have to see how people react once the pandemic is over and vehicular traffic goes back to pre pandemic levels.
