Argyle just opened up and looks surprisingly good, as do Thorndale et al further north. Really excited to see how Wilson will come together over the next few years.

I need to go up there on the El. I saw the renderings for Wilson and it looks really nice.

I'm pretty sure Berwyn is next in line...if it looks anything like Argyle it will be great.

Berwyn is midway through the renovation. Maybe a bit less. The station is closed and trains were bypassing it yesterday.

You're right, I still get emails from Alderman Osterman and Berwyn is under construction now. I used the Berwyn stop for over 10 years, it definitely needed an update.

Yeah, I was pretty impressed with the renovations last time I was there in May, some great work that is happening.

CTA needs to update their website.

They still claim northbound Argyle is closed, yet I saw a train stop, drop people off and people got on yesterday after the marathon.

While not a full renovation as with the stations on the Howard Red Line, I appreciate the design of the Belmont Blue line a whole lot more since they cleaned it up, painted it, and put in lights that work. It may actually be the best looking subway station on the CTA now.
