Major infrastructre upgrades coming for the California Blue Line station, one of the busier stations on the O'Hare branch.

New elevators and entrance way with accesseble doors. Improvements to sidewalks, ramps, drainage and landscaping.

These are the kinds of upgrades we desperately need for many of the stops on the Forest Park branch, where 6 of the 11 stations aren't even ADA Accessible.

New elevators and a modern, accessible entrance will ensure access for those who use mobility devices and latest project to advance under CTA’s All Stations Accessibility Program

70-year old track. 80%+ slow zones. No ADA access on most stops.

The Forest Park Blue Line branch is way overdue for improvements.

On the Forest Park branch of the Blue Line, slow zones now comprise more than 84% of the track, up from 20% a decade ago.

One branch accounts for 31% of all CTA slow zones despite making up just 8% of the system's track. That's what decades of disinvestment look like. It's time to fully fund the I-290 Blue Line Reconstruction Project. The project would bring $8–10 billion in regional investment and create 14,000 construction jobs. i-290blueline.com

When I-290 was built in the 1950s, it divided Chicago neighborhoods. Now, it's time to reconstruct the corridor and reconnect the communities it once separated.

When the I-290 Blue Line Corridor was built 70 years ago, it divided neighborhoods and created zones of underinvestment. It's time to change that. We must fully fund the I-290 Blue Line Reconstruction Project.

Your train shouldn't lose a race to a side street. The Forest Park Branch has more 15 mph track than any other CTA branch because of 70+ year-old infrastructure. It's time to rebuild the branch, restore the speed, and fully fund the I-290 Blue Line Reconstruction Project. i-290blueline.com
