Bus Reroute; #78 to serve Jefferson Park via Lawrence


Recommended Posts

There's kind of an interesting reroute in the works on the #78. Montrose is going to be closed soon between Milwaukee and Cicero due to sewer work. Which ever way they go in planning the reroute is not really ideal. They can't go Milwaukee to Irving Park because there's no left turns at Six Corners so they are going Milwaukee to Lawrence to Cicero to Montrose. Even that is going to be hair raising. All those streets have a high volume of traffic and there's all dicey turns if it's not for 115- 135 degree turns, it's navigating the turns at Cicero with the viaduct and mid street support and then they have the Cicero viaduct at Sunnyside where rookie operators tend to rub the walls there. I see alot of 30-40 minute late buses in the rush. It might make more sense to short turn more buses at Cicero and use the #54 terminal (probably what will happen) or maybe even break the line up in two segments. This should be interesting!!
