What a shady way to force the state financing. Definitely looks very bad.
Does anyone know the latest thoughts from CTA/RTA/Metra on making this area an additional transit hub. It could make sense in my mind only if it resulted in a fast circulator route to get from museum campus to Union to Navy Pier. |
Metra is on board, tentatively - they stand to get their coach yard and 18th St station rebuilt. No changes to their existing services, just shiny new facilities at no cost to them.
CTA seems a lot more skeptical. The circulator would likely go from here to Navy Pier only, using the McCormick Busway and lower-level streets in Lakeshore East. No Union Station connection. The L spur is even more dicey and vague.
