“One thing problematic about Huberman’s tenure at the CTA was a continued focus on failed projects like Block 37 and station beautification at the expense of improving basic service in the neighborhoods,” said Mike Pitula, a community organizer with the Little Village Environmental Justice Organization. “A massive amount of money was spent on putting in flat-screen displays and granite floors and tiles in the Dearborn Street subway, while there are stations on the Blue and Green Lines that have been closed for years and could be reopened to serve low-income neighborhoods and communities of color.”
