Map is Public
created 84 weeks ago
updated 5 days ago
This map is about Joint Transit Association's idea to fix the Chicago 'L'. The first video/step into making the CTA system better (this video is private as of right now) is about deinterlining and realigning the downtown loop. The second video/step into making the CTA system better (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qeqs-ej9qqg) is about extending the Brown Line to the Blue Line via Jefferson Park to have better "connectivity" (from Joint Transit Association) The third video/step into making the CTA system better (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IC_UQKUy2-I) is extending and realigning the Green Line on the "South Side L" to Jackson Park with rerouting the Purple Line to one of the branches on the Green Line.
