Jeffrey Busby, general manager for strategic planning at the Chicago Transit Authority, confirmed Tuesday that a contract will be let out for designing an infill CTA station on the Green Line at Cermak Road.

A planning meeting held late last year raised the possibility of building a new station at either 18th or Cermak.

Busby explained that the city picked the site because of its proximity to McCormick Place. Tax increment financing could pay for the project.

The choice “doesn’t preclude something at 18th,” Busby said.

A Department of Transportation spokesman could not be reached by Chicago Journal’s noon deadline for further details.
