it is not out of the question to create an east branch subway to connect at mccormick place and serve the campus, as well. and i don't think it would costs billions.

I'm honestly not really sure myself, but any bore tunneling done today (it could N O T be built by cut-n-cover) does cost Billions-per-mile -- And that is a Fact!
What was the final cost of that Ryan Connector? (anybody know); also what is the present estimated cost of the Red Line Extension
(I really do need an answer to that question soon!)
