An interesting thing about making things accessible is that it almost always makes access and egress easier for everyone!

chi.streetsblog.org•8 days ago

Elevators definitely make it easier to bring your bike on the 'L'. Unfortunately, that's still not permitted on weekdays from 7-9 AM or 4-6 PM (get with the program CTA!) but otherwise it can be very handy.

I’m curious as to how Chicago ended up with a Bryn Mawr . (Lovely Welsh name) .

Here you go, from "Streetwise Chicago" by Don Hayner and Tom McNamee, Loyola University Press 1988.

Would love to hear more about the new accessibility features that riders with disabilities have been waiting for and can now take advantage of.

mikeyd123.bsky.social•8 days ago

ADA compliant. What else is there to know?

lmtwo.bsky.social•8 days ago

Elevators with audio? Gap fillers or level entry to trains? Audio and visual announcements? Signage and wayfinding? Is there more than one accessible entrance? Turnstiles or gate? Ticket machines accessible? What to do if someone needs assistance? Things like that.

Thank Biden for allocating the funds.

It was actually Obama! It’s been 10 years in the making. https://www.transitchicago.com/mayor-emanuel-sen-durbin-cta-announce-president-obama%E2%80%99s-proposed-2017-budget-includes-significant-funding-for-cta-red-purple-modernization-program/

Wait, so you're saying Obama allocated $1.1B for the Red and Purple Modernization on his way out the door, kind of like how Biden set aside $1.9B for the Red Line Extension before leaving the White House?
