South Evanston CTA Yellow Line Station

From its original opening in 1925 until 1948, the CTA Yellow Line (also known as the Skokie Swift) had several stops in Evanston. After major changes in the mid-20th century, platforms at Dodge, Asbury, and Ridge were shuttered and dismantled.

Reopening a station in one of these locations would enhance access to Ascension Saint Francis Hospital, Levy Senior Center and the Howard St business district, while also providing connections to numerous local bus routes.

As recently as 2012, the City of Evanston conducted initial feasibility studies and community engagement finding significant economic benefits and resident support for a new stop.
