The recommendation is one indication of how likely CTA is to get the federal funding key to moving the long-discussed project forward.
The 95th Street CTA Red Line station is seen on Nov. 18, 2021, in Chicago. A plan is to extend the Red Line south from this station to 130th Street. Many residents in the 21st Ward are looking forward to the expansion of the Red Line as a source of economic development.
“This suggests that the Department of Transportation is confident that, on the current trajectory, it will be finished,” said Adie Tomer, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution who leads the Metropolitan Infrastructure Initiative. “There are, of course, hurdles to jump over, too.”The project calls for extending the Red Line 5.6 miles past its terminal at 95th Street.
“The inclusion of this significant level of funding in the president’s budget recommendation reflects the importance of the Red Line Extension project — not solely as a necessary transportation investment but as project that meets the Biden administration’s goals for infrastructure investments that foster equity and inclusion,” he said in a statement.
For example, federal funding recommendations announced Thursday also included $700 million for a rail tunnel project between New Jersey and Manhattan; $496.8 million for a subway project in New York; and $100 million for a bus rapid transit project in South Carolina.
