This week, “Chicago Tonight” turns its attention to Altgeld Gardens to discuss the approval of the Far South Side CTA Red Line extension, the benefits it will have on the community and the impacts of environmental racism in the neighborhood.
Chicago City Council approved a $950 million transit Tax Increment Finance district to siphon off future property tax revenues along South Side Red Line communities to raise money to extend that line. It means the terminus could move from 95th to 130th adjacent to the historic public housing community called Altgeld Gardens, connecting Roseland and Pullman to the rest of the city.
And there’s the added benefit that 130th station and three other new stations will spur on badly needed development at those intersections.It could be a game-changer for several communities on the Far South Side. He said it’d also be a game-changer for jobs that residents on the Far South Side didn’t apply to prior due to lengthy travel times.
That is exactly the plan and the hope, according to the Leah Mooney, the Red Line extension project manager. “The red line extension…would actually generate new business development, commercial development, which would begin to circulate those dollars within the community so people don’t have to go outside of their community,” said Turner.
“The way it stands now you need three buses to get to Walmart and that doesn’t make good sense. We’re on 130th, and Walmart is on 109th. We should have a Walmart shuttle bus,” Lucas said.
