Yellow Line Extension
Connecting Dempster Station to Old Orchard Road
The Yellow Line Extension Project would extend the transit line from Dempster Station to Old Orchard Road in Skokie. An Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) will be prepared to evaluate environmental, social, and economic impacts of the construction and operation of the proposed project.
Public and agency input is important. This site will keep you informed about the proposed project, the planning process, and opportunities for public input and participation. To receive notification of activity on this project, please contact the CTA via e-mail, mail or fax at:
