Work on this project began in the fall of 2020 and was completed in the fall of 2021 with the delivery of Station Summaries and Deep Dive Reports for all nine stations. 

The report was completed in the summer of 2022 and can be found under "Related Reports." To advance the recommendation for improving bicycle facilities, the Village of Forest Park was awarded funding from Cook County to conduct preliminary engineering for the 26th Street Multi-Use Path through the County's 2022 Invest in Cook program awards. Completion of this multi-use path along Forest Boulevard, Norwood Boulevard, and 26th Street would allow Park Forest residents and visitors to access downtown Park Forest without a car and establish a connection to the Thorn Creek Trail. Similarly, the Village of Matteson has received construction funds for improvements to the Village portion of the Preservation Path, which will enhance connections to transit services along Lincoln Highway and to the Old Plank Trail.

The Village Board adopted the Downtown TOD Overlay chapter into the Village Zoning Code at their November 19, 2019 meeting.

The panel was held in August 2018 with members of the Village of Brookfield, ULI Chicago and the RTA in attendance. The Village continues to experience incremental growth near the Brookfield station in the form of new apartment development.

A summary report can be found to the right in Related Reports.

In February 2021 Mayor Lori Lightfoot joined the groundbreaking ceremony of the Sisters in Cinema Media Center on East 75th Street at Yates. The Center will house gallery space, a 45-seat theater, editing and computer lab, offices, and classroom and conference space. The Center is scheduled to open in September of 2021.

In the spring of 2021 the City released a two-part RFP for a 1.7-acre site that includes vintage, low-rise buildings and for vacant land adjacent to the Cheltenham station on Metra’s Electric Main Line. The RFP goals include the construction and rehabilitation of transit-oriented housing and ancillary uses. Bids are due August 31, 2021.

The RTA continues to monitor implementation and offer assistance to the City as requested.
