Pulse Milwaukee Line on the MoveNovember was a banner month for Pulse—we kicked
off construction on our first Pulse project, the Pulse
Milwaukee Line, and are working quickly to advance
our station work before the winter weather settles in.
Construction will take place in stages to reduce impacts
on current Pace riders and roadway traffic. Construction
activity will continue over the winter months with
fabrication of the shelters, custom markers and real-time
bus arrival signs.
Construction prep work begins – Fall 2017
NB Oakton, NB Main, SB Touhy, and SB Harlem road work portion completed – Fall 2017
Work resumes on all 17 stations – Spring 2018
Pulse Milwaukee Line service – Fall 2018
During construction, there will be stop relocations and intermittent lane closures along
Milwaukee Avenue between Golf Mill Shopping Center and the Jefferson Park Transit Center.

PROJECT TIMELINE:
PAGE 2 | PaceBus.com/Pulse
CTA and Pace are joining forces to bring another
Pulse Line to Chicagoland and Halsted is the next
stop! This fall, CTA and Pace initiated a study to
find ways to improve service along and around an
11-mile portion of South Halsted Street from the
79th Street Red Line Station to the Harvey
Transportation Center. Future Pace and CTA
service will overlap on portions of the Halsted
corridor. With Pace serving more than 11,000
daily riders on Halsted Street on the far south side
and south suburbs, the study will help the two
agencies plan for coordinated service as well as
determine the best way to improve transit service,
safety and reliability for these communities.
CTA and Pace Team Up for Halsted Line Study
Pace is now providing FASTER SERVICE on the Illinois Tollway between Rosemont and Elgin.
When traffic is heavy on the new I-90 SmartRoad, Pace can use the Flex Lanes
to bypass traffic and get you to your destination quickly. Learn more about this
smart technology at IllinoisTollway.com.
HALSTED STUDY GOALS:> Improve service coordination> Optimize bus stop spacing> Enhance boarding areas> Implement elements of Bus Rapid Transit

FUNDING ON THE WAY:
CTA received a federal grant through the Chicago Metropolitan Planning Agency’s
Unified Work Program (UWP) to do the South Halsted Corridor Enhanced Bus Feasibility
and Planning Study. Also, Pace received an Invest in Cook grant from Cook County
to complete the Halsted Line Environmental Analysis and
Advanced Design.

What’s in Store FOR THE PULSE DEMPSTER LINE?What do you want to see and where do you want to see it? Well, we asked these questions at the Pulse Dempster Line public open houses in September in Des Plaines and Evanston. But our research isn’t complete yet—we’re still looking for feedback! We want to tailor your transit experience to YOU, the rider. Visit PaceBus.com/Pulse to review the open house materials and submit your comments on the future of the Pulse Dempster Line.
The Pulse Dempster Line will follow the Milwaukee Line as Pace’s second rapid transit service. The Dempster Line is 15 miles in length and will operate along Dempster Street between the Davis Street CTA Station in Evanston and downtown Des Plaines, continuing to and from O’Hare International Airport via Lee St.—Mannheim Rd.
What’s Next?This fall, big things are happening with the Pulse Dempster Line. Pace is completing the collection of survey data and moving forward with the environmental analysis, including an evaluation of historic resources along the corridor. This information will help Pace develop a design that minimizes impacts on the built, natural and human environments. Pace has also begun planning for the design and construction of the Dempster Line. The Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning approved a $10 million construction grant for construction of the Dempster Line through the Federal Congestion Mitigation Air Quality (CMAQ) program for 2018-2022.
