95th Street Terminal Improvement Project

The Project

The Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) is proposing to make transportation improvements by expanding

and refurbishing the 95th/Dan Ryan Terminal, the southern terminus of the Dan Ryan Branch of CTAs

Red Line. The purpose of the project is to expand and significantly improve the 95th/Dan Ryan Terminal

which serves thousands of customers each day and is a vital part of Chicagos South Side.

The proposed work includes two new station houses fronting along 95 th Street; a new Terminal south of

95th Street; renovations/expansion of the existing Terminal north of 95th Street; a pedestrian bridge

spanning across 95th Street to connect the north and south Terminals; an expanded platform to provide

more room and easier passenger flow; wider bus lanes and increased spacing between bus bays to reduce

congestion; wider sidewalks and waiting areas in the bus Terminal for increased passenger comfort and

safety; new bus canopies to provide shelter for boarding and alighting customers; additional escalators

and elevators to increase vertical circulation; bright, airy spaces with clear sightlines; additional areas for

retail amenities; and additional space surrounding ticket vending machines and fare gates. The project

also includes acquisition of adjacent land, as required for construction staging. This location is served by

the CTA Red Line (95th/Dan Ryan Terminal), CTA bus routes, and Pace bus routes.
