Busjack Posted November 19, 2007 Report Posted November 19, 2007 I spotted some new Pace Bus Stop signs this morning along Oakton st. in Des Plaines. Has anyone else spotted any?.Since this has nothing to do with Academy, I moved the thread. About a month ago, Pace had a contract award for new signs. However, is there any significance to the ones on Oakton, such as a new design or other than a paste over for the number? Also, where on Oakton (i.e., east or west of where the buses diverge to the Metra station)? Quote
qwantae Posted November 19, 2007 Report Posted November 19, 2007 I've spotted new pace bus stop signs on W 127th in Blue Island/ Alsip for #385, before that, there were none of the signs on 127th between Pulawski and Western. I did see most of new ones in Des Plaines/ O'Hare areas. Quote
trainman8119 Posted November 20, 2007 Report Posted November 20, 2007 There are a couple on Golf Road between Harlem and Waukegan Roads on the 208. They have the (silly) new wrench logo and a slightly different type. Also the blue is a darker more navy color. Quote

trainman8119 Posted April 22, 2008 Report Posted April 22, 2008 yeah I saw those too. I like the old ones better. Quite frankly, I like the enitre old Pace look. It was much more simplistic, sharp and less 'gimmicky'. Quote
Zol87 Posted May 28, 2008 Report Posted May 28, 2008 I found a few more. These are as close as I can remember. *Touhy/Oakley-290 *Church/Kilpatrick-208 *Clark/Howard-215 & 290 Quote
BusHunter Posted May 28, 2008 Report Posted May 28, 2008 I found a few more. These are as close as I can remember. *Touhy/Oakley-290 *Church/Kilpatrick-208 *Clark/Howard-215 & 290 There's also 1 at Touhy/Milwaukee westbound. It's been there for at least two months. Quote
Guest Posted May 28, 2008 Report Posted May 28, 2008 There's also 1 at Touhy/Milwaukee westbound. It's been there for at least two months. The new signs are now being installed along Golf and Algonquin roads in Schaumburg and Arlington Hts. A few of the #606 route stops have the new signs now. Quote
MVTArider Posted June 26, 2008 Report Posted June 26, 2008 Would anyone here be able to post a picture of a new sign and one of an old sign for comparision? I saw a lot of the old ones with the yellow when I was in Chicago last time but I forgot to look for new ones on 606. Quote
Busjack Posted June 26, 2008 Author Report Posted June 26, 2008 Would anyone here be able to post a picture of a new sign and one of an old sign for comparision? I saw a lot of the old ones with the yellow when I was in Chicago last time but I forgot to look for new ones on 606. Something like the attached. As far as looking for them on a particular route, apparently they are being replaced as needed, and not on an en mass basis. Trainman had found the concentration on Golf east of Harlem, but usually it is a sign here, a sign there. Quote
geneking7320 Posted June 26, 2008 Report Posted June 26, 2008 There is a sign for route 290 at the Howard L station. I think there is one for route 215 also but I'll check to make sure. Quote

Trainman had found the concentration on Golf east of Harlem, but usually it is a sign here, a sign there. I concur. There seems not to be any wholesale replacement of older signs with new ones. I have found another new one on the 221 at Wolf and Algonquin (or was it Dempster...someplace along that stretch) northbound. Quote
MetroShadow Posted June 29, 2008 Report Posted June 29, 2008 I haven't seen many of the two-route bus stop with the new logo except for the 270-411 combination at Oakton and Milwaukee (NB stop). Quote
Zol87 Posted June 30, 2008 Report Posted June 30, 2008 There is a sign for route 290 at the Howard L station. I think there is one for route 215 also but I'll check to make sure. Yes, there is a new 215 sign at the Howard CTA Terminal. Quote
Zol87 Posted February 9, 2009 Report Posted February 9, 2009 I saw a new one recently at Dempster and Crawford for the 250 right in front of Grecian Kitchen after eating dinner there. Quote
PACE 834 Posted March 10, 2009 Report Posted March 10, 2009 Would anyone here be able to post a picture of a new sign and one of an old sign for comparision? I saw a lot of the old ones with the yellow when I was in Chicago last time but I forgot to look for new ones on 606. Here are the original RTA bus stop signs+the old and new PACE bus stop signs.

MVTArider Posted March 10, 2009 Report Posted March 10, 2009 Here are the original RTA bus stop signs+the old and new PACE bus stop signs. Nice Thanks for posting the pics! Also thanks to Busjack for the drawing earlier as well, I thought I had replied on that before Quote
Guest Posted March 10, 2009 Report Posted March 10, 2009 Here are the original RTA bus stop signs+the old and new PACE bus stop signs. One of the old RTA signs can still be found along the Pace #696 at Algonquin/Weber on the NB side. Quote
MetroShadow Posted April 13, 2009 Report Posted April 13, 2009 Seems that Pace is putting up new 554 signs along the new reroutes along Barrington, Lake, and Park Blvd. Very shiny at night, by the way. Quote
