The proposed Red line station is shown on the video, on 15th St, just east of Clark. |
The PD was filed today, so those who are good with the city clerk site.

How is LaSalle extended south when it ends at Polk, and due south is the Metra?
Start the railway push west right at Roosevelt and bring LaSalle over and down as a bridge? |

From the video, here's an idea of where the 15th and Clark red line will be

So, about 19% of the land is dedicated to parkland? That's pretty great and fixing the infrastructure coming first is even better news. I'm pretty content with this plan. Don't care how badly they ruin the Spire site now :)

Cyooot!
|
That Red Line location kind of spells the end for DPII doesn’t it? They’d need to take land for a station and that will open it up to TOD.
Does 15th connect through for pedestrians below the park? |
Doesn’t it look like the Orange line should get a stop at State?

Did they say how many units would be here?
|
How much will the South Loop boom effect the sales of the higher end units, if at all?

I cobbled together an annotated site plan so you guys can better understand:

Fake lasalle street is lame. A completely isolated jog of a street people use for wayfinding is cruel, though entirely in character for lasalle. Hopefully nobody will have a street address on it.
Like the wells connector, though. That will make a straight shot from Cermack/Chinatown to downtown via wentworth, opening a whole new arterial supply of humans to an atrophied area. Hopefully riverwalk will connect with the neighboring projects to the north, then eventually to the Riverwalk itself. Name is dumb. Hopefully placeholder. I’m allergic to “The ###” titles. Also think how they’re handiling the elevation changes from street level at Roosevelt on the NE corner of the site. Stairways to tight, ramps too long. Where’s the IKEA go? |
If they can actually pull off something like those renderings, that would be pretty awesome.
Much cooler from a design standpoint and in layout and incorporation of public spaces than what Magellan did over at Lakeshore East. |

So LaSalle St at north end will elevate to meet Roosevelt and the RC at Deleno Ct. Wells will be an under pass at Roosevelt. Looks like 15th St west of Clark is a viaduct under Metra tracks, connecting with LaSalle St and with Wells on the west end. |
