CHICAGO | Lincoln Yards

[ardecila]

The power of Chicago’s transit system has always been in the grid... for various reasons we never had a North/South route at 1200W.

There are a few missing links in the street grid, but with a few revamped intersections plus the new bridges Sterling Bay is already planning, you could launch such a service running from the Fullerton Red Line down to the Racine Blue Line. This would not only offer connections to other rail and bus lines, but it would actually hit neighborhoods like West Loop, River West and Lincoln Park where commuters are likely to come from.
