Ashland is the way to go. Dont make the loop too far out, or you decrease the potential high-density development the line could bring.
I think the original Circle Line plan is wise except for running the brown line through that short tunnel, seems like a waste of money. Just straighten out the kink at North/Halsted, put in elevated platforms, with an elevator to a single tunnel connecting to the North/Clybourn subway station, which can remain as 2 platforms servicing 2 lines (Red and Circle). MUCH cheaper than that whole superstation thing they're plugging with 4 platforms, the new short brown line subway, etc.
I'd also support more elevated structure, but that would be a political nightmare, nobody would allow it running down their street or alley.
Hopefully I'll make it to the presentation tonight
