Description:
The existing 95th/Dan Ryan Terminal is an intermodal transit hub that connects commuters to 13 bus routes, and it serves as the terminus of the Chicago Transit Authority’s (CTA) Red Line. The 9.4-mile Dan Ryan Branch of the CTA Red Line ends at the 95th Street Terminal. This station is integral in connecting residents in Far South Side communities and suburbs to jobs throughout the region. The design of the current terminal leads to overcrowding of passengers and congestion for bus traffic utilizing the station. Due to station configuration, many passengers use terminal areas for street access, posing safety risks to commuters. The project will rehabilitate the current 95th Street Bus and Rail Terminal, which dates from 1969, with an expanded modern facility. As part of the CTA 2013-2017 Capital Improvement Plan, the Dan Ryan Branch is being fully reconstructed. This project consists of a redesign of the existing terminal to provide more space and improve the mobility of passengers in and around the station. Specific project improvements include:
- Expansion of the North Station through the construction of ground-level retail and additional passenger areas
- Construction of a new, 3-story South Station (two levels above ground and one platform level below)
- Increased lighting and security cameras
- Expansion of sidewalks and bus lanes to reduce congestion
- Full wheelchair accessibility
- Traffic signal improvements to increase the number of peak-hour buses capable of circulating the terminal
- Sound panels at platform level to reduce noise in the terminal
The 95th/Dan Ryan station is one of Chicago’s busiest terminals, with 24-hour Red Line service and over 20,000 daily bus and rail passengers. When the North Terminal was completed last year, 95th/Dan Ryan became a signature station on Chicago’s South Side that will provide customers with a modern design and amenities to improve the overall transit experience.
