Lucky you, Irving Park Brown Line users. The station, under construction for a year now, will reopen this weekend. Saturday morning at 4 a.m., to be exact. The spiffified station has new elevators, wider and longer platforms, and plenty more to make it handicap accessible and just overall nicer as the CTA continues its Countdown to a New Brown.



This is great news. I can finally cut out the bus portion of my convoluted commute.
