Orange Line Extension Project. Scoping Report
Orange Line Extension Project. Scoping Report
The Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) is proposing to make transportation improvements by extending the Orange Line, a heavy rail transit line, to connect Midway Station at the Midway International Airport to Ford City. CTA and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) will be preparing an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) that will evaluate the environmental effects of constructing and operating the proposed extension. FTA is the federal lead agency and CTA is the local lead agency. The Orange Line opened in 1993, providing service to the southwest side of Chicago and Midway International Airport. The original project proposal was for the southern terminal of the Orange Line to be located in the vicinity of the Ford City Mall. Due to funding limitations, the terminus was shortened to Midway Airport. The regional long range transportation plan developed by the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP), has included an extension of the Orange Line since the early 1990s.
