finally! the green line gets shat on so much by the cta, great to see it get some love.

[prazzlerazzle]

it's a good thing it's so beautiful
you need something to look at when you're waiting half an hour for a green line train

[chicagolandrailfanning]

I visited it today, it was impressive. My one complaint is the lack of ventilation/AC in the bridge, it was hot up there today. Otherwise it was very beautiful

[SamuelDixon-xhwy]

Proud of you Chicago! Love living in the best city in the world

[vesta]

Super sick looking station. I wish they had called it Damen/Lake though since having four stations here with the same name can get a bit confusing. Still really great that they opened this

[RayArias]

Really great video! Now if the CTA could get a Green Line station on Western and Pink Line stations on Madison and Illinois Medical District connecting with the Blue Line station with the same name. That would be really nice. 😊

[Chroxity]

Thanks for the walkthrough and explanation of the history and architecture of the station. I love the aesthetic and how much of a vibe the station brings.

[Salmomlox]

Awesome editing skills and very informative and interesting video.

[BDavinci]

I'm very impressed!! I think that's how public transit stations should look very modern. But it's been going in that direction for the past three decades here in the US looking very ultra, modern, and connected to the community

[tomdchi]

The growth of housing and jobs in the area justifies the stop. Now we need some zoning tweaks right at that intersection to create cafe/retail uses to have some community life there. Staying overly strict with the PMD would be a mistake. Right along Damien and Lake for a block or two in all directions should be zoned for mixed use at least at the ground level for the lots facing those major streets.

[RegalRegex]

It really is beautiful...I hope more stations get this kind of love

[codfish]

Damn, that's one beautiful station!

[koskism]

Was so happy to visit it yesterday! Beautiful, yes there are some issues but it’s great to see the cta doing things that will benefit the city in the short and long run

[FlyingOverTrut]

That's beautiful! I'm glad for you all in Chicago that get this. Supporting transit from here in Los Angeles, where we're still slowly improving public transportation.

[brandoncole]

Havent been in chicago for a while but nice to see this station has been built ☺️
I was in hs when they broke ground. Going into my junior year of college in august 👍🏽

[alanzemsky]

Very impressive! Another win for the city now opening up public transportation so close to United center now too!!

[jointransitassociation]

Neat video! I wish I was there, but I also wish for the Green Line to not run terrible service.

But still, a nice addition to the Green Line.

[edtierney]

Gonna be nice to have this for Hawks/Bulls games, I work in Fulton Market and use the Morgan stop frequent. This will def increase my use of the Green Line

[TheFlyingMooseCA]

certified banger, never thought i'd see a thirst trap for a CTA station

[MichaelfromtheGraves]

Really great video. The US always needs more Hugh quality transit channels! Love hearing your personal thoughts and critiques.
