Howard El Grand Opening, Flag Day Celebration and Art Festival

Dear Neighbor,

Saturday promises to be a very busy day in the 49th Ward.

Topping off the events is the official Grand Opening of the new Howard El Station. Join CTA President Ron Huberman and me as we cut the ribbon for the new station tomorrow (Saturday, June 14th) at 2 p.m. The new station is located immediately north of the CTA parking garage at Gateway Centre.

Thousands of CTA commuters have already used the station since its unofficial opening last Monday, and I've heard rave reviews from many. It's certainly a significant improvement over the old station. If you haven't had a chance to visit the new station, stop by the ribbon cutting ceremony and check it out!
