Thanks for posting. A couple of things I would suggest. First, you'll have to take up publicity with the Chicagoland Chamber. I was not involved in it. I...
... Sure. My sarcasm should have been directed entirely at the club and the organization they used. I find it ironic that they expressed surprise that locals...
... April Fool's, right? You're so silly Adam.....tricking us in to thinking they'd destroy perfectly good ROW at the whim of a developer. Funny, very funny!...
... And create a new curve in a perfectly straight railroad! Surely there's time to stop this. There are 2,000 daily boarders at that station, and I'd guess...
Aaron got prize money for documenting his personal urban design taste (which I don't want to get into for a transit site) as solutions? ... From: Frank Kennedy...
Just a couple initial thoughts: I strongly disagree with the idea that the vast majority of trips can or should be accommodated on the CTA. While substantial...
I think entrances at Lawrence and between Leland and Wilson at the bus stop would be the better way to go. It's still a bit od a walk to the Montrose Brown...
... Just think - at last, the Metra timetable will correctly list the Ravenswood station location at 4800 N. Ravenswood Ave. Who else has noticed the slight...
... Retaining walls were mentioned. 25 foot wide center platform is a guess on my part, based on what Metra has built recently. Don't take wheelchair entrance...
... It's not a helpful address regardless. The address should be of the closest major street perpendicular to the route, mentioning AT or NEAR the closest ...
... Sure. Of course, there was a comment upthread saying they wanted to take advantage of the project to repair the viaduct, so they'd probably be doing that...
Driving around the city is not a pleasure recently, due to unusual high number of potholes. But my anger recently switched into curiosity, when driving on...
It's official: I've been appointed to the Pace Citizens Advisory Board. I've known about this for over five weeks but I didn't want to say anything in case it...
Potholes in Chicago? The very nerve! Don't you know that the road people tear up the roads and highways in the Winter so they can fix them in the Spring. ...
Congrats, Adam. But not being controversial? Humbug.  Larry ... From: Adam H. Kerman <ahk@...> Subject: [CHICAGOTRANSIT] Yours truly appointed to...
My understanding is that the underpasses for the UPN will be high and wide; and new bridge spans with greater load capacity will be be built. In order to...
I was reading a article in the sun-times and it mentions a Clinton street subway. Initially I assumed it was just the subway to that creates a new loop by...
... That particular patch really has me curious (and a little angry). It's gigantic beyond pothole proportion. And square. So clearly it was a cut, not just...
The idea has been talked about in planning and transportation circles since the 2003 Central Area Plan, but not very explicitly until the 2007 update meetings...
... No, this is new to me too. The Circle Line theory is that trains would use the State St. subway, circling out the Orange line and turning north to the...
... LOL. I'm glad they uncovered that 'secret'. The project notes further down in that PDF estimate costs at $3 billion, say the next steps are feasibility...
... Douglas-Evanston through route neither improves service nor saves capacity on the Loop "L". As long as a train circles the Loop "L", it makes no difference...
Had some time to kill after an early meeting today, and couldn't get an earlier flight back. Took a circle train ride beginning and ending about 1/2 mile...
