Cumberland (CTA)
Encyclopedia
Cumberland is a station
on the Chicago Transit Authority
's 'L' system
. It is situated between the Rosemont
and Harlem
stations on the Blue Line
, which runs from O'Hare Airport to Forest Park
. The station is located in the median of the Kennedy Expressway
at Cumberland Avenue in the O'Hare
neighborhood on Chicago
's Northwest Side, and it is in close proximity to both the Norwood Park
neighborhood and the city of Park Ridge
. The area surrounding the station consists of mixed commercial and residential development. Nearly 1.4 million passengers boarded trains at Cumberland in 2010.
The Cumberland station was first proposed in 1972 as part of an extension of the 'L' to O'Hare Airport. The station opened on February 27, 1983, along with the Harlem and Rosemont stations. The three new stations brought 6,000 new riders to the northwest CTA line in the following month, and Cumberland became especially attractive to suburb
an commuters. The station at Cumberland consists of a single island platform
; a pedestrian overpass connects the platform to a station building to the south and an exit stairway to the north. The station also includes a bus terminal and a park and ride
lot. Trains serve Cumberland 24 hours a day every day; the headway
between trains is 10 minutes during peak periods, with less frequent service at other times. In addition to trains, Cumberland also serves CTA buses, Pace
buses, and Greyhound
buses.
. The station is located in the O'Hare
neighborhood of Chicago near the border of the Norwood Park
neighborhood. It is the closest 'L' station to the city of Park Ridge
, which borders Chicago along Higgins Road
north of the station. The area surrounding the station consists of a mixture of planned development, commercial, and residential areas. Citicorp Plaza, an office building which houses the headquarters of telecommunications provider U.S. Cellular
, is located to the south of Cumberland at 8410 W. Bryn Mawr. The Renaissance Chicago O'Hare Suites Hotel
is also located near the station at 8500 W. Bryn Mawr.
to O'Hare Airport
, which included the construction of the Cumberland station, was first proposed to Mayor Richard J. Daley
in 1972 by the Chicago Public Works Commission. The cost of this project was initially estimated at $80 million. The Chicago Plan Commission approved the project on August 8, 1974; by this point, the estimated cost of the project had risen to $174 million. The federal government approved the project and agreed to provide 80 percent of the funds for its construction in 1978, and construction on the 7.6 miles (12.2 km) extension began in March 1980. The extension was originally planned to open in 1982; however, its opening was delayed after a series of incidents including two strikes
by workers on the line. The section of the extension from Jefferson Park to River Road
, including the Cumberland station, ultimately opened on February 27, 1983; the CTA ran free shuttle trains between the new stations at River Road, and Harlem
the day before their opening so riders could "get acquainted" with the new line. The final cost of the extension was $198.9 million, with the Cumberland station costing approximately $10 million.
In the month following the opening of the three new stations 6,000 additional commuters used the northwest service. The Cumberland station became particularly attractive to suburban commuters from Des Plaines
and Park Ridge
; a study commissioned shortly after the station's opening found that only 12.4% of commuters parking in the Cumberland and Rosemont stations were Chicagoans. The influx of suburban commuters to the new CTA stations led to a fall in ridership on the Chicago & Northwestern's Northwest Line
, which traditionally served the northwest suburbs near the CTA extension.
. Cumberland's island platform
is located in the median of the Kennedy Expressway
to the west of Cumberland Avenue. It serves the Blue Line's two tracks; the northern track serves trains to O'Hare
, while the southern track serves trains to Forest Park
. Electronic signs on the platform offer real-time information about train arrivals and service alerts; Cumberland is one of four 'L' stations with these signs, which were installed in 2002 as part of a pilot program. A pedestrian overpass connects the platform to entrances on the north and south sides of the expressway. The north side of the overpass leads to an exit stairway, while the south side leads to the main station building. The station building houses a public art
sculpture, Rock Bow by Charles Ross; the sculpture consists of a 40 feet (12.2 m) high metal-cased prism
set in a limestone
base. Cumberland's bus terminal and park and ride
lot are also located south of the platform. The park and ride lot has 1633 spaces and is operated by CPS Parking; the lot originally had 706 spaces and expanded to its current capacity in 1992. The facilities at Cumberland are handicapped accessible
.
. It is the third inbound station from O'Hare on the Blue Line and is situated between the Rosemont
and Harlem
stations. Blue Line trains serve Cumberland 24 hours a day every day; trains operate roughly every 7 to 10 minutes during rush hour
and midday operation, with longer headway
s of up to 30 minutes at night. The station is approximately seven minutes from O'Hare
, 31 minutes from Clark/Lake
in the Loop
, and 52 minutes from Forest Park
. 1,398,724 passengers boarded at Cumberland in 2010.
Cumberland services several bus routes in addition to 'L' trains. Two CTA bus routes stop at the station, the #69 Cumberland/East River and #81W West Lawrence; these routes provide service to Cumberland Avenue, Lawrence Avenue, East River Road, and the Jefferson Park Transit Center
. Four Pace
bus routes also stop at Cumberland: the #240 Dee Road, the #241 Greenwood-Talcott, the #290 Touhy Avenue, and the #331 Cumberland-5th Avenue. These routes connect to the Golf Mill Shopping Center
, the Howard 'L' station
