Community meetings scheduled

At the February Chicago Transit Board meeting, CTA staff presented updated proposals (PDF) for implementing the Brown/Red/Purple Line three-tracking later this spring. Much of the discussion focused on the logistics of switching tracks in the Belmont-to-Armitage corridor and efforts to provide additional bus and rail service. We've also asked for a "frequently asked questions" document to respond to questions we've received here and elsewhere about this effort. When I receive the FAQ document I will post it here.

As promised, we have also scheduled four community meetings on March 12th, 15th, 19th, and 26th. Nothing will be implemented until the board is comfortable that our questions have been answered and until the signals and switches have been tested and tested again.
