Emmanuel Proposes Red Line expansion

Chicago mayoral candidate Rahm Emmanuel on Thursday said his first transportation priority is an expansion of CTA's Red Line, "the backbone" of the city's rail system. He wants to secure federal funding to rebuild deteriorating tracks south to 95th Street, extend the line to 130th and renovate and modernize lines north of Belmont.

In my opion, expanding the Red Line of the CTA can be done but it will require millions of dollars and lot of people will suffer because many stations will be closed. Rahm Emmanuel's ideas is a good one.
