Yeah this is a sloppy graphic. Probably thrown together by an intern and not reviewed (Shedd "Quarium"?)
The red line is actually the "CHI Line", which should be yellow per the legend.
It is a sort of vague circulator proposal that Bob Dunn has included in all the One Central plans. They have not specified what kind of transit it would be, or who would pay to build/operate it. Given the routing I assume it would be some kind of bus route, requiring an extension of the McCormick busway to 31st, and a busway onramp at McFetridge (see below).

I've only heard vague things about this. In the Burnham Lakefront plans it seems like this wouldn't be a busway so much as just a slightly widened Lake Park Ave. If it's mixed traffic instead of a true busway, doesn't seem ideal...
