CTA Route 22 Stops Relocated Near Diversey
Chicago's Route 22 bus won't serve regular stops at Clark and Diversey, transit officials said Thursday. The CTA relocated northbound and southbound service to temporary stops nearby, though officials didn't say when normal service will resume.

Northbound buses now stop at Diversey and Hampden Court instead of the regular Clark and Diversey location. Southbound service relocated to Diversey and Racine. Officials classified the change as high-severity, indicating significant impact on regular riders.
