HALSTED PROJECT ENHANCEMENT 7 SOUTH BUS …

2
Project Overview The South Halsted Bus Corridor Enhancement Project was initiated by the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) in partnership with Pace Suburban Bus to improve transit along approximately 11 miles of South Halsted Street, from the Pace Harvey Transportation Center to 79th Street. The corridor also includes segments of 79th and 95th Streets that provide connections to the CTA Red Line 79th and 95th Street Stations. The study corridor is located in the communities of Harvey, Phoenix, Calumet Park, Riverdale, Dixmoor and the City of Chicago neighborhoods of West Pullman, Morgan Park, Roseland, Washington Heights, and Auburn Gresham. This study will explore potential transit improvements for the corridor’s 13,000 daily transit customers. Improvements being considered as part of the project may include enhanced coordinated service plans, realigned bus stops, roadway treatments, and updated passenger amenities. Transit improvements developed in this study will complement CTA’s planned extension of the Red Line to 130th Street from 95th Street, which is currently undergoing the federal environmental review and planning process. PROJECT Corridor Today Current transit service on the corridor is provided by CTA routes #108 and #8A and by Pace routes #348, #350, #352, and #359. The corridor, which is largely commercial, intersects with Metra’s Rock Island Line at the Gresham Station, Metra Electric Line at the West Pullman and Harvey Stations, and the CTA Red Line at the 79th Street and 95th Street Stations. The corridor also serves as a connection point to the Major Taylor Trail and Cook County Forest Preserve’s Whistler Woods and Kickapoo Meadows.
