CDC recommended approval of a Red Line Extension Transit TIF district, which would include land adjacent to the CTA Red Line between Madison and 134th streets. The district would help fund a 5.6-mile extension to the Red Line and four new passenger stations on the Far South Side.

They would also benefit residents who would have a shorter bus, bike etc. commute to the new stations than to the current 95th terminal.
