Another transport question ...

Hi there

I%26#39;ve been studying the CTA system map in an effort to try and map out how we%26#39;ll get around to various sites/shopping during our stay ... however, I%26#39;m a little hamstrung on one route.

Our accommodation is near the Clark/Division train stn ... is the easiest way to get to the Michigan Ave shopping sector, exiting @ at Grand and walking a few blocks ?

Or what about buses ... I haven%26#39;t made any headway on that front referring to the transit map.

Assumng the weather%26#39;s nice, it%26#39;s a leisurely walk from Clark/Division to the north end of the Mag Mile area. Otherwise, Grand will work for you.

Have you tried the trip planner section at transitchicago.com?

Another transport question ...

Thanks for your reply.

Re: walking, I was actually wondering about that - it%26#39;s difficult to judge distances from the online maps, and we%26#39;re not averse to walking ...

So from Clark/Division what would you say the distance and/or walking time would be to the river or downtown (say Millennium Park) ?

cheers

Usually the measure is 8 blocks to a mile, so Clark and Division is within walking distance to a lot of sights, including the zoo and beach. There is good shopping along Michigan Avenue from Oak Street to the river, and lower-cost shopping along State Street in the Loop.
