95th Street Terminal Improvement Project
The Project
The Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) is proposing to make transportation improvements by expanding
and refurbishing the 95th/Dan Ryan Terminal, the southern terminus of the Dan Ryan Branch of CTAs
Red Line. The purpose of the project is to expand and significantly improve the 95th/Dan Ryan Terminal
which serves thousands of customers each day and is a vital part of Chicagos South Side.
The proposed work includes two new station houses fronting along 95 th Street; a new Terminal south of
95th Street; renovations/expansion of the existing Terminal north of 95th Street; a pedestrian bridge
spanning across 95th Street to connect the north and south Terminals; an expanded platform to provide
more room and easier passenger flow; wider bus lanes and increased spacing between bus bays to reduce
congestion; wider sidewalks and waiting areas in the bus Terminal for increased passenger comfort and
safety; new bus canopies to provide shelter for boarding and alighting customers; additional escalators
and elevators to increase vertical circulation; bright, airy spaces with clear sightlines; additional areas for
retail amenities; and additional space surrounding ticket vending machines and fare gates. The project
also includes acquisition of adjacent land, as required for construction staging. This location is served by
the CTA Red Line (95th/Dan Ryan Terminal), CTA bus routes, and Pace bus routes.
