In other CDOT station news, the construction contract for the Clark/Division rehab was just awarded for $41.4m.

So they can rebuild a
subway station for $41.4M in one of the city's most congested areas, but the elevated one with tons of room for staging costs $50M.
I get your point about apples-to-apples, but I'm trying to imagine what kind of extras are included to bring the project up to $50M. Cermak streetscaping? Track renewal? Maybe there's something in the RFP.
Actually, that figure for Clark/Division is phenomenally low if it includes both the new mezzanine and the rehab of the existing one.
