#REDLINE CHICAGO FULL#
The new location will place the train platforms on a slight bend and mild incline, but still within the CTA’s accessibility parameters.Īfter the meeting, Alderman Dowell commended Related on the changes but stopped short of offering her full endorsement, reported Crain’s. In addition to moving the stop further from the single-family homes of the Dearborn Park II neighborhood, the revised alignment will avoid disruptions at Cotton Tail Park which was a contentious aspect of the original proposal. Cotton Tail Park (lower right) and the CTA-owned property at the southeast corner at Clark and 15th Street (center) will remain unaltered under the revised site plan.
A facebook video of Thursday’s meeting featured a far more relaxed and receptive crowd compared to December’s presentation. The changes were generally well received by neighbors, according to a Related spokesperson. It will be 200 feet west and 160 feet south of the previous location. The updated plan now places the station at the southwest corner of the intersection, below a new mixed-use structure at the $7 billion, 62-acre riverfront development. While the Chicago-based developer had initially pitched the subway stop for vacant CTA-owned land at southeast corner of 15th Street and Clark Street, it shifted the station to within the boundaries of the new development following objections from nearby residents and 3rd Ward Alderman Pat Dowell. On Thursday, Related Midwest presented details on its latest plan to bring a new CTA Red Line station to its near South Side megadevelopment known as ‘The 78.’
