Red Line Extension Rezoning

The Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) is extending the Red Line from the existing terminal at 95th/Dan Ryan to 130th Street. The Red Line Extension (RLE) will include four new fully-accessible stations near 103rd Street, 111th Street, Michigan Avenue, and 130th Street. Multimodal connections at each station will include bus, bike, pedestrian, and park & ride facilities.

As part of the project development process, CTA is seeking to rezone all the parcels needed to build the RLE. This includes all parcels CTA has acquired or will be acquiring for the project, including for the track alignment, yard and shop, substations, and stations.

The current zoning on these properties is a mix of primarily residential, business, and manufacturing. To conform with the future transit use, the CTA needs to rezone the properties to a Transportation (“T”) District designation. 

This process requires a Zoning Amendment which is being pursued through the aldermanic rezoning process.

 

Public Notice

Properties within 250 feet of the boundary of the address(es) affected are required to receive notice as part of the zoning process requirements. Letters will be mailed to property owners starting November 22, 2024.

Additionally, per City of Chicago requirements, notice signs will be posted throughout the RLE area and a notice will be published in the Chicago Sun Times.  

 

Public Hearing on Zoning Map Amendment

As required by the City of Chicago, a public hearing on the requested Zoning Amendment will be held in the Council Chambers of CITY HALL: 121 N. LaSalle Street; 2nd Floor of City Hall, on December 9, 2024, at 10:00 AM.

Written public comments on any items listed in the Agenda will be accepted via email at nicole.wellhausen@cityofchicago.org until 8:00 AM on December 6, 2024.
