Brown Line River North Construction Update

The Brown Line reconstruction of the River North Franklin stop at the Chicago/Franklin intersection is scheduled for completion late June/ early July. Improvements to the stop include adding elevators, new stairwells, improved sidewalks, painting on the street, and a new store/vending area. The new entrance to the stop is on Superior Street.

Another new CTA feature can be found online - Google Transit, which lets CTA riders access public transit data through Google. Riders can type in their starting and destination points, and step-by-step written directions will appear with fare information included. A map of the route represented by icons pops up; clicking the icon will display an estimated schedule for the departure of the next train or bus. Chicago is one of 39 U.S. cities to be featured on Google Transit and the second largest public transportation system represented. It's also available for some cities in Canada, Asia, Australia, and Europe, so keep it in mind next time your travels take you abroad!
