About this episode
Chicago doesn’t end at 95th Street — but its busiest train line does. For 54 years, Far South Siders have been pushing for the Red Line to be extended, and for decades promises have failed to materialize. Now, with some funding secured, key City Council approvals, and construction finalists announced, Chicago is closer than ever to bringing this key transit lifeline to the Far South Side . Host Jacoby Cochran talks with the CTA’s TaNesheha Marshall and Andrea Reed with the Greater Roseland Chamber of Commerce about what the extension would mean, why Chicago is finally seeing movement on the project, and what roadblocks are still ahead.
