University to Partner with City to Reopen 60th Street Metra Station

Activists push for CTA-like frequency on Metra line.

 

In the recently signed 2015 Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the University and the City of Chicago, the University reiterated its promise from the 2011 MOU to spend $2.5 million and partner with the City and Metra to improve the Metra platform at 59th Street and reopen the 60th Street station. The 2015 MOU explains that the required public funding still has not been secured.

 

“Since the 2011 MOU was signed, the University has had a number of positive discussions with Metra about the stations at 59th and 60th Streets.
