CTA is proud to announce that reconstruction of the historic Wilson Station has reached its final milestone with the full restoration of the iconic Gerber Building.
The $203 million Wilson Station Reconstruction Project transformed a nearly 100-year-old station that was cramped and dimly lit into a modern, bright and convenient station that is fully accessible to people with disabilities. The station now includes customer amenities like escalators, elevators, more security cameras and stunning new artwork by world-renowned artist, architect and engineer Cecil Balmond.
The project also replaced the more than 100-year-old track and platform structure, and established the Wilson Station as a transfer point for Red and Purple Line Express trains.

Wow; Good job, the station looks fantastic. If I come to Chicago, I'll look at it and of course take the train.

I will definitely miss the original layout and feel of the station (especially with that one platform being a bit of a loner) but this new bright white/silver look for the station looks nice too. The restored Gerber Building facade definitely fits the new color/look.

This will probably seem like nit-picking on my part, but the massiveness of this new station would be so much more effective if it were possible where the *_Addison_* station in Wrigleyville now stands. While that station was rebuilt years ago to be wider and accommodate elevators and escalators, it still often becomes dangerously crowed with _Cubs_ fans. The residential dwellings that currently exist around the _Addison_ station made it unfeasible to build a new twin platform station that could easily accommodate the traffic to and from _Wrigley Field,_ so the CTA did the best they could, at the time, with the money and the *_space_* they had. But can you imagine the crowds coming from a _Cubs_ game or some concert at _Wrigley Field_ into the huge new _Wilson_ station? Four lanes of track would allow local service on the inside tracks and the outside ones could run north & south trains express for the massive influx of those who only came into the city for whatever was happening at the stadium!

My God, you ruined it!!! Don't get me wrong, it looks very nice but I just wish you could've renovated it with a lot of the original design in mind, like how you did Quincy.

@@carlfrancisbowles1 I personally wouldn't mind that. Now I have to go to Union Station in Downtown Chicago and take Amtrak Hiawatha to get to Milwaukee. If they brought back The North Shore Line all I have to do is to make my breakfast and go to Jewel Osco to get a drink and go to Howard CTA Station and take The North Shore Line to Milwaukee. On top of that if they ran like The South Shore Line where while you're in the RTA Fare Zone you'll get a free ride if you have The RTA Ride Free Card for people with disabilities or have Reduced Fare Card but when you go into Wisconsin then you'll have to pay but reduced.

Big deal...an aesthetic improvement to "look at". But Red Line service south of Howard to Fullerton remains HORRIBLE. Herky-jerky stop/starts and delays for never-ending track repairs makes for a painfully slow ride that isn't any faster than if you took a bus over the same distance. Check out the RU-vid video: CTA Ride the Rails: Red Line to 95th (CTA Connections) to see if I'm lying!!!

PS..if you really want to see what efficient modern urban rail transit looks (and runs) like, check out the UK London "Tube"system (eg., Jubilee Line) or the the Japanese Toyko JR lines. They seem to know that transportation is supposed to MOVE ("trans" is Latin root for motion).

Michael Brinkers bus service from Howard to oak street is about a half hour but only during early morning and late night hours. Red line from Howard to Clark and division about half hour at anytime during the day. So in rush hour it's faster to take the train. In early morning or late night service it's about the same time, this is by the CTA timetables, so I guess you are lying
