February 4, 2013 (CHICAGO) --
Chicago's newly confirmed transportation commissioner says she will listen to concerns about installing bus rapid transit lanes on Ashland Avenue.

Rebekah Scheinfeld tells The Chicago Sun-Times she knows plenty about the opposition to the Chicago Transit Authority's plan for a 16-mile stretch of Ashland.

One option could be to add more left-turns back into the concept design.

Scheinfeld comes to the Chicago Department of Transportation from the CTA where she was a strategic planner.
