Circle Line Alternatives Analysis Study - Screen 2 Analysis
Note: Meeting dates and locations for public open houses to receive input on preliminary findings from Screen 3 are being scheduled for fall 2009.
Screen 2 Open House Presentations
CTA held public open houses September 26-28, 2006 to receive input on preliminary findings from Screen 2 of the Alternatives Analysis Study for the proposed Circle Line project. The Alternatives Analysis study is designed to examine all possible transit options and determine a Locally Preferred Alternative for the project. The proposed Circle Line would link all of CTA's rail lines and all of Metra's lines in a study area bounded by 39th Street on the south, Fullerton Parkway on the north, Western Avenue on the west and Lake Michigan on the east, creating improved connections and shorter travel times for transit customers throughout the six-county region and helping to reduce traffic congestion.
