It would be nice if CTA used their track renewal project to put in a crossover north of Merchandise Mart so they could terminate trains there during line cuts. It's right on the edge of downtown, and I'm betting a lot of people would rather walk from Merchandise Mart than wait on an uncertain transfer at Fullerton.
I think crossovers already exist between Merchandise Mart and Chicago that would enable terminal operation at MM.
