Starting March 23, the Chicago Transit Board is extending service to midnight for the #43 bus route, which runs along 43rd Street. The improved service is a direct result of the Quad Communities Development Corporation’s (QCDC) Quality of Life Plan. The plan outlines several strategies for creating a “vibrant, safe and diverse” Quad Communites, including “improving community infrastructure,” such as public transportation access.
According to a media release on the CTA’s Web site:
“Hours of operation on the #43 route will be expanded to midnight during weeknights, with service intervals of every 20 minutes. The #43 connects the residential area along 43rd Street with the 47th Street Red Line station and the #3 King Drive and #4 Cottage Grove bus routes. Currently no east-west service exists east of the Red Line between 39th Street/Pershing Road and 47th Street after 7 p.m. The additional service will go into effect on Sunday, March 23, and is being funded by the Mayor’s Office of Workforce Development.”
The Quad Communities Quality of Life Plan was the result of a 16-month effort involving some 500 community members. QCDC is represented on the Mid-South Task Force of Reconnecting Neighborhoods.
