Four CTA stations (Lawrence, Argyle, Berwyn, and Bryn Mawr) will be rebuilt, expanded, and modernized, while adding elevators that provide access for people with disabilities and improve convenience for the elderly and riders with carts, strollers, and bags.

What are alternative transit options? What are your ideas?
