Editing Yellow Line (CTA) (section)

====Extension to Old Orchard====
In 2006, the [[Chicago Transit Authority]] was reviewing plans to extend the Yellow Line north from the current end-of-line terminal at Dempster&ndash;Skokie to a new end-of-line terminal at [[Westfield Old Orchard|Old Orchard Mall]], a distance of about {{convert|1.5|mi|km}}. After August 2008, two corridors remained for further study, the alignment along the Union Pacific Railroad (bus and heavy rail) as well as a combined track along Gross Point Road and Skokie Blvd (bus only).<ref>{{Cite web |title=Yellow Line Extension Alternatives Analysis Study |url=http://www.transitchicago.com/assets/1/alternatives_analysis/yellowpubpres200808.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110607005047/http://www.transitchicago.com/assets/1/alternatives_analysis/yellowpubpres200808.pdf |archive-date=2011-06-07}}</ref> {{As of|2009|04|30}}, the two corridors have been narrowed down to one option – an elevated [[single track (rail)|single track]] rail corridor that will follow the Union Pacific Railroad right of way. Under the most recent version of the plan, the Old Orchard terminal would be elevated.

{{As of|2010}}, the CTA is no longer studying the extension.<ref name="Yellow Line Extension" />
