This $280M project represents a significant investment in Chicago’s South Side.įor more information on the project to improve the station and bus terminal areas, visit: We're proud to announce the opening of the North Terminal building and bus boarding areas at 95th/Dan Ryan, the latest milestone as we near the completion of the 95th/Dan Ryan Station & Terminal Improvements Project – the largest construction project in CTA history!Initially a caller incorrectly reported the victim was at the Walgreens at 261 West Townline Road in Vernon Hills, which caused a dispatch of Vernon Hills police and Countryside FPD firefighters and paramedics to the Walgreens on Townline Road about 2.6 miles away. The opening of the North Terminal, with its bright, glass-enclosed terminal, replaces what used to be a cramped, aging facility with a modern space that includes safe pedestrian walkways, a longer train platform to reduce overcrowding and Bus and Train Tracker displays throughout. One of CTA’s busiest Red Line stations, this terminal – along with its sister South Terminal and a new pedestrian bridge over 95th Street - will provide 24-hour Red Line service, as well as bus and rail transportation option to more than 20,000 daily passengers. We're proud to announce the opening of the North Terminal building and bus boarding areas at 95th/Dan Ryan, the latest milestone as we near the completion of the 95th/Dan Ryan Station & Terminal Improvements Project – the largest construction project in CTA history! Months later, Kapoor officially named the piece "Cloud Gate". While the sculpture was being constructed, public and media outlets nicknamed it "The Bean" because of its legume-like shape, a name that Kapoor described as "completely stupid". Last but not least, I´d like to thank Professor Marcos Rangel for the hints he gave us. So, that's how my 30 minutes visit to Chigago ends. Next time I will try visiting Sears Towers or even more places because I will take a later flight to LA. I was afraid about loosing my next flight, so at 8:23AM I went back to Monroe Station. We arrived at Washington Station at 7:37AM (nearly 50 minutes from O'Hare), walked about 3 blocks and there we were! At 7:50AM we first saw THE Bean at Millennium Park. Since I was with my wife, we bought somekind of pre-paid rail pass for US$ 9.00 (each trip costs US$ 2.25). It was my first time at USA, got lost a little, but people at the airport were very kind to me, specially the guy at the station who explained how to buy tickets (that are sold by machines, and you need the exact change). After passing the immigration, I took the blue line. Coincidently had to wait some hours to the next flight then I decided to go around.įirst I got the flight UA842 (Sao Paulo - Chicago) arriving 6:00AM at O´Hare airport.
When I was booking my flights, I had to make a connection at Chicago. This is the Chicago Cloud Gate at Millennium Park
