At the meeting the CTA held at the Armory they said $45-90,000 will be spent per station. The artwork will be installed I believe late Spring.<br /><br />The yellow is a kind of high -pitched version of an Asian architectural color. It is not what my 1st choice would have been.<br /><br />More info and an excellent source of info on the Redline station projects:<br /><br />http://ctastationwatch.com/main-line/472Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11678683729454882322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10923291.post-51046414545816295102012-11-08T22:07:29.968-06:002012-11-08T22:07:29.968-06:00Looks more like high school cafeteria than futuris...Looks more like high school cafeteria than futuristic to me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10923291.post-73684972572835935352012-11-08T18:37:00.317-06:002012-11-08T18:37:00.317-06:00I like the white a lot.

It looks like a second-rate bathroom rehab with mismatched tiles and they aren't even doing the whole station - just the stairwells.The Public Square Bearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04884576056661685183noreply@blogger.com
