CTA Board Approves upgrades, including elevators to allow Accessibility at the Quincy and Wells L Station

The CTA Board of Directors at the Aug. 14, 2013 meeting, approved for the Quincy and Wells L Station of station upgrades, and for 2 Elevators to be installed to allow for Accessibility at the station. The work tentatively is to start in 2014 and is estimated to be a 2 year project. The Quincy and Wells L Station is the closest to Union Station, and The Willis Tower. When completed there will be 4 Accessible L Stations in the downtown area, with plans for rehabbing the L Stations, with elevators on Wabash being planned. This is great news for the many that have advocated for accessible transportation for so many years.
