The CTA has released the list of buildings that would face demolition if the Red and Purple Line overpass project goes through, and some beer taps might run dry.
Beer on Clark, Clark Street Beach, Fiesta Cantina, Beggars Pizza, Johnny O'Hagan's Irish Pub and Restaurant and the newly opened Big Cheese Poutineire are among other buinesses and residential properties that may need to be razed to make way for the proposed Red-Purple Modernization project, according to the CTA's list of properties released today.
According to the release, none of the almost 20 properties on the list would need to relocated immediately, and if the project did go through, relocation funds would be available. Currently, there are no funds dedicated to the project, meaning it could lay dormant like other CTA projects like the Circle Line.
A full list of properties, according to the Tribune, can be found below:
• Residential buildings from 3240 N. Wilton Ave. to 3252 N. Wilton Ave.
