At least the Red Line isn't routed through a Native American reservation, the Brown Line isn't routed through a Hispanic area, and the Pink Line isn't routed through a gay area. In Chicago I think it would be quite difficult to have a Black or White Line that would be routed to deliberately avoid black or white neighborhoods, respectively.However, the Yellow Line serves Skokie which has a significant Asian-American population. When MARTA in Atlanta named the line serving the Asian-American communities the Yellow Line, the residents protested and thus the line was renamed the Gold Line. I wonder why there was no such reaction by the Skokie residents when CTA designated their Yellow Line. |
