How would the proposed Red Line extension effect current CTA services, both during construction of the new service and during operation of the new service?
The specifics of construction for the proposed Red Line extension have not been established yet. CTA’s general guideline is to minimize the effects of construction on existing transit services. However, bus reroutes are possible. Once the proposed extension is complete, existing bus routes may be changed to complement the new high-capacity transit service. Depending on the specific route of the service, the number of routes feeding into the 95th Street Station may be reduced, which would reduce congestion in and around this facility.
