This project is part of Metra’s ongoing effort to bring commuter rail stations into compliance with the
requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990. The project will focus on
platform and platform access routes, as necessary.
Wherever platform work is undertaken, the existing platforms will be rehabilitated in order to allow
deteriorated tactile surfaces to be replaced with new ADA-compliant “truncated dome” type surfaces.
FY 2020 Federal funds and 2020 Illinois PAYGO funds will be used for construction of new platforms,

This project will completely rehabilitate the northern-most Metra station in Chicago. The Rogers Park station is located on the Union Pacific North (UP-N) Line atop a retaining wall section that was originally constructed in 1916. The project scope includes extensive repairs to the station depot and entrance ramps and shelters. Station lighting upgrades and platform renovation work will be completed as needed.

The TROI-Net Station Displays Project is the design and rollout of the next generation of Metra's VIS Signs as they reach the end of their useful life and require replacement. Instead of one VIS Sign per station, TROI-Net Station Displays will be installed at more than one location at most stations. To meet accessibility requirements and like the current VIS Signs, TROI-Net Station Displays will provide the visual part of Metra's Audio/Visual announcements at stations.

This project will fund upgrades to the aging Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing (MEP) systems at the Millennium Station, which is the downtown Chicago terminal of the Metra Electric (ME) Line. The scope of work may include, but is not limited to, replacement of the boiler system, replacement of the HVAC, upgrading MEP components, the installation of drainage solutions, related engineering design services, and other activities as needed. This is a multi-year, phase-funded project.

The new station in the Auburn Park neighborhood of Chicago will feature a platform-length canopy and heated headhouse with two elevators. The station will include a center boarding platform with a staircase down to street level entrance tunnel, a landscaped plaza with benches, canopy, bicycle parking, and a vendor space Metra will lease. A parking lot will include 79 parking stalls, 5 ADA parking spaces, and a passenger drop-off lane. The new station will be fully ADA accessible.

This project will fund Metra’s portion of a larger station renovation/expansion in Elmhurst. It will leverage CMAQ funds obtained by the Village of Elmhurst to construct a larger station to accommodate the growing ridership.

This project consists of the rehabilitation of the LaGrange Road station facility in LaGrange along the BNSF line. The scope of work may include, but is not limited to, replacing the station depot and windbreak roofs, renovating the station depot heating and ventilations systems, brick and stone repairs and tuckpointing, and refinishing the interior of the station depot. Additional project elements include, but are not limited to, sidewalk accessibility improvements, bicycle facility upgrades, and drainage repairs.

This project will provide design engineering funds for the 107th St. (Beverly Hills) station on the Rock Island (RI) Line in the Beverly Hills neighborhood of Chicago. Rehabilitation of the existing station warming shelter that is appropriate for the historic neighborhood will be completed in future phases of the project. Project activities may include, but are not limited to, parking lot renovations, ADA improvements, new lighting around the station, additional shelters and bicycle parking, and other activities as needed.

The Forest Glen Station will undergo multi-phase rehabilitation. Phase 1 will replace the inbound and outbound platforms with new heated platforms that will include tactile strips for ADA compliance, reconstruct the entry staircase with heated stairs, and replace the deficient station depot with a temporary shelter. Following design engineering services, Phase 2 will add a new, heated station depot in place of the temporary shelter, new wayfinding signage, and other station identifiers. Upon completion of Phase 3, the station will be made fully ADA-accessible.

To accommodate the Cedar Lake Road Realignment project led by Lake County, portions of the Round Lake station will have to be relocated and reconstructed. The Cedar Lake Road will bisect the station's platform as they are currently located, therefore, the platforms will need to be rebuild due east. Lake County will fund the station infrastructure components that are directly impacted by the project in full. Metra is taking the opportunity to reevaluate the station site plan and to consider Metra-funded improvements. Funds programmed in 2022 will finance engineering and design services.

This project will fund improvements to the Naperville station facility that also serves as an Amtrak train station. The canopy roof west of station depot is in disrepair and will be replaced with a new cantilevered canopy. The project will also improve or replace stair enclosures based on surveyed conditions. Customer amenities will be enhanced by expanding waiting areas, the installation of additional bicycle racks, and the replacement of the exisiting shelters over the bicycle parking areas.

This project will study potential improvements to the station which may include but are not limited to restoration of the viaduct, replacement of staircases, the potential addition of an elevator, design of a new gatehouse and platform head house, the feasibility of extending the boarding platforms, and consideration of a platform-length canopy.

This project will rehabilitate the River Forest station and associated retaining walls that are located along the Union Pacific West (UP-W) Line. The historic station was originally constructed in 1915 and is currently inaccessible. The project scope includes extensive repairs to the entrance ramps, retaining walls, and platforms. Additional project elements may include but are not limited to, sidewalk repairs, upgraded bike facilities, landscape enhancements, entrance staircase repairs, and other related work as needed.

Additional project elements may include, but are not limited to, sidewalk repairs, upgraded bike facilities, landscape enhancements, bench repairs, station lighting upgrades, and other related work as needed.

The current General Electric announcement system has become outdated and there are no upgrades available. This project will include, but is not limited to, the purchase and installation of LCD displays and associated communications equipment throughout the Metra system. This project will allow for more timely information on arriving trains and allow for improvements including digital LCD displays and automated announcements. The displays could show train(s) arriving at the station, estimated time of arrival, stops made by the train, and any service alerts that may influence service.
