Public transit users take 30 percent more steps and spend roughly eight more minutes walking each day than drivers.

CTA may close several stations on the Red and Purple Lines

The CTA’s Red and Purple Modernization Project could threaten several stations including Jarvis, Thorndale and Lawrence on the Red Line, and South Boulevard and Foster on the Purple Line. The CTA is unveiling these options at public scoping meetings this week. Some options include train station closures while others focus on maintenance and modernization of existing stops.

The project is in its very early stages and now is the time to have your voice heard. While funding and construction are years away, the public feedback and comments about the six proposals being presented this week will shape what happens to stations on the Red and Purple Lines.

Attend one of the public scoping meetings and make sure the CTA hears your voice loud and clear.
