Could Chicago not improve its bus system by adding dedicated lanes and transit signal priority measures--from what I understand the parking meter deal is an issue when it comes to the dedicated lanes part of the package?

Seems like it would be far more cost effective to implement these measures than to build light rail--unfortunately you'd be asking a lot of the pig drivers who cruise the city's streets.

Not to get too far off topic but I just spent three weeks in Chicago shooting a new film and the behavior of drivers is abominable.

Anyway it would be great to see some robust transit oriented solutions planned for LY--has anyone seen details for the revamped Metra station/transit hub?
