Transit-oriented-development in Chicago

Last time I was in Chicago, I drived (sorry, guys) by Western Ave in the NW side and its intersection with the blue line in Lincoln Square. I noticed several new 2-3 flats and buildings going up with ground-level retail. I was impressed with the TOD.

Another good example of new TOD is the area of the CTA and Jefferson Tower/Place along the green line.

I, as you guys know, am a hard-core urbanist. For those of you living in Chicago, are there any other areas (outside of downtown) where a lot of transit-oriented development is occurring?>
