As part of the study, CTA conducted nine interactive workshops in July and August 2004 that brought CTA and West Side residents together to discuss how to enhance service.
The Chicago Transit Board has designated funding in the 2006 budget for West Side and west suburban service enhancements.
CTA's planning staff will consider feedback provided by community members when it develops service recommendations to present to the Chicago Transit Board for approval.
