DeKalb’s bus system is more than a convenience for commuters

As a commuter student, DeKalb’s bus system is very convenient. Apart from convenience, it is also essential. However, while it is clear for many students who live on campus, especially when you’re new to campus and DeKalb, it is not as obvious at first glance how essential it is for commuter students as well.

For some Evanston restaurants, fuel costs are taking a bite

Evanston restaurants and bars are usually the ones doing the serving, but lately they’ve been the ones eating, mostly higher costs. Some local purveyors point to rising fuel, especially diesel, as a primary cause, and they’re feeling it in the form of rising cost of freight, smaller deliveries and fewer customers.

On Nov. 9, Chicago lost its Dan Ryan exit to the Museum Campus for two weeks; drivers need a new route to Soldier Field, and three CTA train lines suddenly look a lot better

Chicago, we need to talk about the Dan Ryan. Again. The Roosevelt-Taylor exit ramp off the northbound Dan Ryan Expressway closed Monday morning, Nov. 9, and it’s expected to stay closed for about two weeks , according to ABC7 Chicago . So if your muscle memory takes you up the Ryan and off at Roosevelt every time you head to the South Loop, Soldier Field or the Museum Campus, it’s time to retrain it. Nobody asked for this. And yet. Here we are. With another Dan Ryan ramp closure. Why is the Dan Ryan exit at Roosevelt closed? Peoples Gas. Crews have been installing an underground energy main in the area, and the company plans to restore Ruble Street once that’s done. Peoples Gas says the new pipe will make energy more reliable for residents and businesses nearby. Great for them. Less great for your Saturday plans. When will the Roosevelt/Taylor ramp reopen? The closure is expected to last about two weeks, which would put a reopening around Monday, Nov. 23 . That’s our math, not an official date. And if you’ve lived in Chicago for more than a week, you know how construction timelines tend to go. We’ll update

CTA is replacing Blue Line trains with shuttle buses between Jefferson Park and Harlem from Nov. 13 to 16, and O’Hare travelers should leave early

Heading to O’Hare this weekend? Part of your ride might be on a bus. The CTA is putting Blue Line shuttle buses in place of trains between Jefferson Park and Harlem on the O’Hare branch. The swap runs from 10 p.m. Friday, Nov. 13 through 4 a.m. Monday, Nov. 16 . Translation: your trip to the airport now has a layover. Before the airport. Why is the Blue Line closing between Jefferson Park and Harlem? Track maintenance. The CTA says the work is meant to give riders a “safer, smoother commute,” and it’s funded through the Northern Illinois Transit Authority Act. Short-term pain. Long-term smoother rides. That’s the pitch, anyway. Where do I catch the Blue Line shuttle buses? At Jefferson Park: Head into the bus terminal and look for stop (A). At Harlem: Shuttles leave from the bus terminal’s south bays near Harlem Avenue. Heads up: this is the Harlem stop on the O’Hare branch. Not the Harlem stop out by Forest Park. Same name, totally different side of the city. Classic Chicago. Are Blue Line trains still running to O’Hare? Yes. Trains will keep running between O’Hare and Harlem, plus between Jefferson Park, downtown and Forest Park. So

Workers at Chicago parking garages vote to strike

The clocks in the Loop do not care about contract calendars, but the people who take tickets, sweep stairwells, and wave cars into tight spaces do. With a labor agreement set to expire on Halloween, workers at Chicago parking garages voted by more than 98 percent to authorize a strike if bargaining fails to produce a deal. The Chicago parking strike, still an authorization rather than a shuttered entrance, has already altered the mood of a city that treats parking as background noise until the background stops. Drivers may not know the names of the attendants they pass each morning. They will notice if those attendants are gone.
