I want to see more connections between lines that are not in the loop...

I agree. Let's keep trying to figure out how to make that a reality in addition to this.

I'm glad that it apparently isn't adding more highway median stations. Those are horrible.

The article states this hasn’t been confirmed yet, but they’ve passed the major hurdles so it’s moving right along. It’s apart of a grant from the fed.

I'm really happy we secured the funding, but I really hope at least some of it goes towards building transit-oriented development around the new stations.

Many of the renders CTA have put out depict stations in lifeless neighborhoods that are mostly 4-lanr stroads and parking lots, which would really sap much of the potential value this project could provide.
