The area under new Red Line tracks in Edgewater and Uptown are being re-conceptualized as part of the Red and Purple Modernization (RPM) Project, and the new designs are for the under-L area between Lawrence and Ardmore when the 100-year-old embankment wall is removed.

Public meetings will be held on May 22 and 23 to present the preliminary designs. The new, open space will stretch a full mile. CTA partnered with Site Design Group to develop a block-by-block plan for the new community space under the tracks.
Each of the two meetings scheduled for the end of May focus on a different section of this public space.
The meeting focusing on the blocks between West Foster and West Ardmore will be held from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, May 22, at Saint Ita Catholic Charge at 5500 North Broadway.

The meeting focusing on the blocks between West Lawrence and West Foster will be held from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at Truman College at 1145 West Wilson Avenue.
