Niles Pace Pulse Access Improvements - Phase I

The RTA awarded $55,000 to the Village of Niles for Phase I engineering needed for future improvements that include a side path along Dempster Street between Cumberland Avenue and Milwaukee Avenue in the Village of Niles. Proposed improvements include a 10 foot side path, ADA ramp improvements at signalized intersections, and other associated tasks that include potential utility relocations and fence improvements. The proposed side path would connect existing Pace transit stops on Dempster, two of which are being upgraded to Pace Dempster Pulse Line stations (Cumberland, Milwaukee). One would remain as a stop for the Pace Bus Route 250 (Dempster @ Grand), which currently lacks sufficient pedestrian access.
