On this day in 1997, CTA decided with less then 24 hours of public notice, city workers move in and dismantle the Cottage Grove-Dorchster segment of the Green Line. Why? What it would take to get it back? 🧵

Do we think a referendum will really move the ball here? This corridor is already under the Bus Priority Corridor Study. The time to act was 2 years ago when you and 17 other ald. co-signed a letter asking for this!

Chicago's rapid transit in 2026 -> 2100 NITA begins today, and with it, we should ask what the future of regional connectivity could look like. Some call this a moonshot, but we've been to the moon & can't have extensive transit? Why is transit essential for the future here? 🧵
