City, CTA Get the Ball Rolling on TOD Near 95th/Dan Ryan Station
The Lightfoot administration and the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) have launched the 95th Street Transit-Oriented Development Planning Initiative, to encourage new development near the recently-reconstructed 95th/Dan Ryan Red Line station and bus terminal (pictured) on the city’s South Side.
CTA has engaged the Metropolitan Planning Commission (MPC) to begin exploring concepts for TOD on eight vacant parcels that were acquired as part of the $280-million reconstruction of the 95th Street terminal.
“The new 95th Street station was conceived not only as an important transit hub, but also as a new landmark and anchor for the community,” said CTA President Dorval R. Carter, Jr. “This TOD process will ensure that the community has an important say in the outcome.”
In partnership with MPC, a community-driven Corridor Development Initiative (CDI) will seek community input on possible future development. Following the CDI process, CTA will develop a request for proposals from potential developers.
