So, what happened to the plan to extend the O'Hare line to Woodfield? Or the Swift to Old Orchard or Edens Plaza, thus replicating the North Shore line which went out of business in Jan. 63. Oh, the billions we're going to end up spending to rebuild what we had!

That map just shows (as if you couldn't tell by going down the street) how much population the West Side has lost.

This is much ado about nothing. The state and the RTA,CTA,Pace are broke and dont have enough money for a subway sandwich much less a extension of the blue line.

Can the Circle Line conceivably be finished in the event we get the 2016 olympics?

However, it's been stalled due to the budget crisis so don't expect the CTA to move on this anytime soon.

"hat about the Circle Line? Is that not happening any more?" It's in the process of being submitted to the Federal Government for matching dollars. http://www.transitchicago.com/news/whatsnew2.wu?action=displaynewspostingdetail&articleid=124434
