Its been posted on the Metra board, but with the upcoming Dan Ryan Expressway reconstruction project just around the corner, its disconcerting that the Chicago transit agencies are taking a wait-and-see approach to see how ridership responds once the construction project gets underway. Especially when the Illinois Department of Transportation are pleaing to motorists to stay off the Dan Ryan and use public transportation. "Excess" capacity exists on both CTA and Metra lines that run in the vicinity of the Dan Ryan.
The CTA has done work to the red line where it runs in the median of the Dan Ryan. However, what can the CTA do to accomodate commuters that may choose to abandon their cars and utilize their services?
