Chicago Opens Long-Awaited Damen Green Line Station

The $80 million project addresses a significant transit gap and aims to revitalize the surrounding community.

The Damen Green Line station project began over a decade ago and faced multiple delays.
Originally projected to cost $50 million, the final taxpayer expense exceeded $80 million.
The new station serves key locations including the United Center and Malcolm X College.
It aims to improve transit access for neglected communities on Chicago's West Side.
The station features modern design elements and public art, enhancing the area's visual appeal.
