Over the next three to four weeks the City and the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT), with approval from CTA, will be contracting the bike parking project at the Main Street CTA Station. The project includes the construction of concrete pads and installation of 40 bike racks within the CTA Station grounds at Chicago Avenue and in the sidewalk on Washington Street. The existing bike racks within the CTA grounds by the sidewalk will be removed after the new bike racks have been installed. The funding for this project is shared between Federal Congestion Mitigation & Air Quality (CMAQ), Regional Transportation Authority (RTA) funds and the City of Evanston.

      Construction will begin in the first week of October, 2017 with the entire project expected to be fully completed within three weeks. The construction activities may create some inconvenience to pedestrians and transit service users, but we will attempt to minimize these inconveniences. Construction zone NO PARKING restrictions on the west side of Chicago Avenue in front of the CTA Station will be intermittent throughout the duration of the project.
