Going In Circles
September 26, 27, and 28, open and informal meetings were held for anyone who wished to attend in regards to the planning of what is dubbed the "Circle Line". Under the proposal and plan for this project, the CTA would construct a new rail line to connect riders to Metra service and many other points of heavy travel.
We are suspicious of where this may lead to because of all the drama CTA has initiated to gain federal funds that were denied. Suspicion also rests on CTA's internal promise unbeknown to you, the public, to raise fares even more. Further suspicion goes to the CTA being tight lipped about how funding for the Circle Line is being obtained and where it's coming from.
Are they going to use this as a chance to bump full - time employees to part time status? Is it going to be used as a hiring blitz when they can't even pay the employees they have now?
Sweetheart deals with aldercreatures and the ATU? The possibilities of numerous deceptive practices abound in one's imagination.
See the links to the right for all the information you can stand about plans for this new and improved service. New and Improved? We're laughing so hard that a favorite drink just sprayed across the room!
Update: October 07, 2006
On Friday, October 06, Sound-Off spoke with a CTA employee and then spoke to others at the CTA. What we found was not surprising! Facts being what they are, it was discovered that NO ONE knows anything about the "Circle Line". No one has even heard of it or heard about plans for the "Circle Line".

I believe that!!!!
This entire city does the same bullshit!! I temped @ Revenue and that place is a leaking ship. No wonder the city pensions are dwindling. Certain city leaders are too busy planting flowers, bicycle lanes that will get us killed, catering to the clout and the ghetto poor (for votes) while the rest of us "working class," the majority of the city, suffers.
I'm off tomorrow and am filing a complaint outside the city concerning the CTA. In July, I addressed this with the Mayor, and he had a meeting with the CTA/Aldermen.
