So whoever presented it does not know what the final plan will be, and was just throwing some concepts against the wall. Note also that this slide show says that Engineering and NEPA are not done. For instance, while the Dempster ART seems still on the drawing board, the Harlem one seems comatose. I previously mentioned that I don't think that this slide show reflects current thinking, but I guess we might find out in a year. The east on Dempster is current Notre Dame High School tripper service.

The north of Golf Mill is the Glenbrook Hospital trips I mentioned above (currently every third bus, or once an hour except once every half hour during rush not on Sunday). says headways on local Route 270 will be reduced to 30 minutes. I hope they are not saying 270 will only run to Dempster Street. There is no explanation for the line on Dempster. Also note that there is a thin blue line going east on Dempster from Milwaukee. Note that Route 270 extends north on Milwaukee from Golf Mill. In the graphic that appears on page 7 of the presentation, the thin blue line is supposed to represent Route 270. Since the weekday 272 has pretty much been disconnected from 270, the only question in my mind is whether 270 will continue to Glenbrook Hospital, or they institute a short route to take care of that portion of the route. Saying that CTA is also in on it also indicates it is from an old consultant's report. Since the slides show 2010 instead of say 6323, I think it is of an old consultant's report. If CTA has a burr in its behind about reinstating 11, it sure isn't going to reinstate 56A. Since CTA abandoned 56A, I guess nobody is expecting more service south of Imlay (Devon-Nagle-Superdawg). However, that site doesn't indicate any progress on that restructuring in the past 6 months. The Niles Free Bus Modernization is supposed to provide the 'last mile' service.

The impression given here is that it substitutes for 270 or is 270. Included is a map, showing ART stops at the following:Ĭonstruction is supposed to begin next fall.ĮDIT: I'd imagine with a corrosponding reduction in local 270 service, CTA may have to implement a new route from Jeff Park to the city line. I found a presentation to the American Public Transportation Assocation this August, some good info inside: Considering this project is pretty much going to happen at this point, perhaps we should have a thread for it.
