0 comment5via Mobileover 2 years agoFriends of Jesus With the new Bryn Mar station, Chicago has a great opportunity to upgrade and present a new image to its
residents. State of the art construction and new technology promises to give Howard/95th street L riders a phenomenal riding experience. However, there is an elephant in the room. While the new station aims to increase ridership, there is another challenge that can thwart this progress--namely HOMELESSNESS. The problem with homelessness has always been a problem with the Howard/95th line, but it seems as if it is getting worse over the years. Some challenges include: 1) Homeless people sleeping on the train or waiting areas 2) Homeless people eating from the trash 3) Homeless people improperly dressed 4) Homeless people lacking proper hygiene 5) Homeless people using drugs 6) Homeless people who are mentally ill How can this problem be solved? Some might believe that it's not CTA's problem to solve. However, CTA is suffering the consequences of the issues of the homelessness community through reduced ridership and passenger discomfort. How can this problem be solved? Can we continue to look away as if Homelessness on the CTA, specifically the Howard/95th L line, if it is not a problem? How can this problem be solved? Do we think that the Homeless shelters and social services alone can solve this problem? CTA you must be apart of the solution to the problem of homelessness! CTA has a billion dollar budget. The Bryn Mar project is huge. SOLUTION Create a safe and secure designated space for the community at Bryn Mar stop. A place where you can pay a nominal fee to take a shower and a store that is well maintained with clothes of all sizes and toiletries. Mental health and substance abuse counselors to sit and talk with homeless passengers who stop in...A general space like Amtrak to rent a rest area for a few hours...A beautician and barber to groom those who desire and need it...
