Description
Dunkin’ drive-though at 35th/Archer station is a tragic waste of transit-friendly land

It’s a real shame when land next to a rapid transit station isn’t leveraged to take advantage of that valuable amenity, but is instead squandered on car-centric land uses that could be built anywhere else. That’s especially sad in a working-class community like McKinley Park on Chicago’s Southwest Side, where the excellent access to public transportation could be used to build transit-friendly housing and/or space for essential retail and services, which would help connect residents with work, education, and other opportunities.
