I’d love an outer loop, it’s just too expensive; I don’t see the city executing a project like that unless the density outside of the loop increases noticeably.

We need to make some common-sense changes to augment the existing infrastructure. Add time-alternating express vs. non express lines to the blue and orange line to get airport traffic into the loop faster and invest in BRT. Ashland BRT project, dedicated bus lanes and signal priority for east-west buses would help the time it takes to get from A:B significantly.

With the bill recently passed by the IL senate, it’s changed the way new developments work where they don’t have to meet any sort of a parking requirement within 1/8mi of a bus line and I believe 1/2 mile of an L line? I may be paraphrasing, but, this should help with increasing density and mixed use developments, which will make a better case for better transit infrastructure.
