Proposed CN Track Realignment Overview Fliers

The following fliers detail proposed changes to the St. Charles Air Line which runs through the South Loop just north of 16th St. The flier is a general overview of the proposed project, which covers the track and bridges between Clark St. and Michigan Ave. Fliers for each individual bridge will be created and each flier will be consistently updated throughout the life of the project to let residents know exactly what is happening in the neighborhood. Each flier also contains a phone number for questions or to register complaints with Canadian National (CN). The City of Chicago is working with CN to negotiate the best possible outcome for this project in order to limit not only the impact construction has on residents, but also to mitigate any long-term impact the track realignment may have on the community.SCAL Overview CN St. Charles Air Line Bridge Work_Page_1
