The Red Line Extension project would be the first time the Far South Side of Chicago has had direct access to the Red Line.

Question

Accepted Answer

The Red Line has operated along Chicago's Far South Side since the 1960s. The Red Line Extension doesn't create new access to the line—it extends the existing terminal from 95th Street to 130th Street, connecting communities like Roseland and Washington Heights that currently rely on buses or Metra. These neighborhoods already have indirect Red Line access via bus transfers, but the $1.97 billion extension would provide direct rail connections to jobs and services downtown.
