Pace Far South Halsted Street Corridor Study
The RTA is assisting Pace to prepare a corridor study examining South Halsted St. between the Pace/Metra Harvey Transportation Center and the Pace Chicago Heights Terminal. Goals of the study are to increase transportation resilience, encourage transit-oriented development (TOD), and improve pedestrian accessibility, sidewalks, crosswalks, access to developments, and connectivity. The study will include coordination with Harvey, South Holland, East Hazel Crest, Homewood, Glenwood, and Chicago Heights. The study will also offer strategies to prepare the corridor for Pace Pulse service and will identify future high frequency service station locations.
This project kicked off in late November 2023. Throughout spring and summer 2024, the project team held a series of pop-up community engagement events to gather feedback from transit riders, students, and stakeholders. The project team finalized the existing conditions analysis and opportunity site analysis in October 2024 and is currently working on developing the draft report, including completing analyses of Pace Pulse station locations, bus speeds, and Prairie State College bus routing.
