Over the weekend, the Chicago Transit Authority, or CTA, announced that its Red Line Extension Project is now entering its next phase.
The grant would be the largest transit infrastructure grant awarded to CTA in the agency’s history.
CTA's plan calls for its Red Line L train to be extended 5.6 miles into Chicago's Far South Side with four new stations and a storage and maintenance facility.
The RLE TSD Plan is a proactive effort to create a guide for the future development of the long-disinvested communities located near the RLE project area that is also reflective of the vision of those who currently reside and do business in these communities.
