Shore Line Dispatch No. 11: From Garfield L to Blue Line Rapid Transit

The latest in the Shore Line Dispatch series highlights the coming of the superhighway to Chicago, a radically new design in rapid transit, and the total transformation of Chicago’s West Side transportation corridor.

Combined with Dispatch No. 1, these two publications recall the railroads’ history and how decades of urban planning resulted in efficient land use.  It was a prototype for other transportation corridors in Chicago and other cities in the U.S. and Canada.
