Chicago Transit-Friendly Development at CTA Stations

The City of Chicago, in conjunction with the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA), looked at three elevated train station areas (Berwyn on the Red Line, 43rd Street on the Green Line and a potential infill station near Cermak on the Green Line) and developed comprehensive land use (urban design) and transportation plans for each station. This study was an important first step in the citywide effort to strengthen the relationship between land use and transportation, plan for neighborhood growth and enhancement, inform future development and redevelopment decision-making, and guide public and private investment in three station areas.
