Red Line Extension

Good news for the CTA. I know someone who works for the Developing Communities Project, a South Side community organization founded by Barack Obama twenty years ago. One of the issues DCP is working on right now is the extension of the Red Line from 95th to 130th; thanks to three years of tireless organizing, the project's priority number with the federal government has moved up substantially. According to DCP, currently 60% of the necessary money has been allocated and that they are expecting construction to begin in 2009.>
