They probably can't keep ford city as a layover, since there won't be a bathroom (does SOLO cup have a bathroom?) There's no shortage of parking lots with shops in that area. 

...

1. What's this have to do with Lincolnwood?
2. CTA built a terminal at Ford City, so it probably wasn't relying on the food court for a restroom.

I've gotten much better with splitting topics (now that I am on paternity leave). Ford City Topic Moved.

I've noticed several 82 trips show up and disappear on the tracker at McCormick and Devon today...

Looks like demolition and construction at Lincolnwood Town Center is progressing along further. CTA has upcoming customer alerts on the website mentioning that starting Monday, the 82 will have its terminal moved a bit west from the mall entrance to the southwest corner of the mall in front of the Kohl's and that the 96 won't pull into the mall but will instead remain on McCormick Blvd between Touhy and Pratt. Both notices are classified as temporary bus stop changes.

Anyone have any word on what's happening to Kohl's and Old Navy?

Kohl's and Old Navy are coming down too. I believe they still have a few months on the lease. I guess there's a little bit of time to figure out where move the terminal for the 82 and 210.

I saw they installed a bus stop for the 82 at the SE corner of Touhy/Town Center Drive. Guessing the 82 will be laying over before heading back south on McCormick? At the least it gives riders a connection again to Pace 290.

Additional the 96 schedule was update to reflect the “temporary reroute”… which we know is not gonna be temporary 😅

Village of Lincolnwood site says that demolition of the Harlem Furniture-RoomPlace building started June 25, which corresponds to the CTA notice, more or less.
