At the foot of this post is the text from the Jan. 31 edition of Pace's weekly email newsletter. It appears to say that seniors' existing RTA Reduced Fare...
Acording to ChicagoBus.org this is part of a large reorientation of allocations where all Novas will be allocated to Archer and Forest Glen. Archer will loose...
From what I've read, the C&NW was built farther west mostly to avoid swampy areas with uncertain soil conditions to the east. The C&NW's location spurred...
... Unlikely or not, it's still possible that the street was platted first by the township or county to sell off land. It's also possible that the C&NW ...
When Evanston was founded, the C&NW ran along what was then the western edge of the community. Northwestern U didn't want the train too close. And, Yes, NU...
... I didn't think there was any settlement when the railroad was built, possibly an isolated farm. It was north of the Indian Boundary Line. I know the...
If anything, county and township roads were in the half-section lines, in this case Ashland and Damen, and the railroad deliberately chose the quarter section...
... I doubt very much the trail was on a tangent out of Evanston. Green Bay Road was simply built adjacent to the railroad. Supposedly Clark Street and Rush...
Try Harvard Square if you want a mess. I made the mistake of trying to go through when they had at least one lane closed as well as the Octoberfest on a...
The only place I can remember was where they went from 5th to 6th St. That was an "S" turn. It really was not an alley. Once on 6th they proceeded north to...

Yes, and the one in Brookfield used to have the Chicago & West Towns Railway bisecting it as well... There's a bunch up in Rogers Park west of Loyola's campus...
Roundabouts are all the rage in traffic engineering circles these days. Colorado has especially gone crazy for them, even putting them at freeway offramps....
You're not counting that thing in DesPlaines as a roundabout? (Not far from the site of Rayu Kroc's first McDonald's that wasn't from the McDonald Brothers.) ...
The old Green Bay Trail evolved into Green Bay Rd, Sherman Av and Chicago Av in Evanston and Clark St in Chicago. South of North Av it became what is now Rush...
There are several "rotaries" around Chcago. The best known is Cumberland Circle in Des Plaines where Wolf Rd and Golf Rd cross. Another is in Brookfield,...
I remember 35-footers on Addison in the late 50's. The 500's from Rosemont ended up at Archer Garage by the late 50's when the 8000's came in. The Keeler ones...
Diversey and Addison ran downtown until 2/1/70. Sunday service had been cut back to Diversey/Sheridan and Addiso/Lake Shore in 1961. Some rush trips on Addison...
