The CTA's decision will follow that of the CEAA. Hallman said he still expects hub construc- tion to begin in 2016, with operations start- ing at the end of 2017. The proposed 400-acre intermodal terminal would be located on lands bordered by Tre- maine Road to the west, Britannia Road to the north and Lower Base Line to the south. It would operate 24/7 and see an additional 1,500 trucks and four trains a day.
