Metra Parking Update

Metra is starting to improve the parking lot on the NE corner of the train lots which will add quite a few parking spaces later this year. Unfortunately this is a Metra project on Metra land so we are at the mercy of the schedules and contractors chosen by Metra. We also will be losing parking spaces during the duration of the project so bear with us.

Here is a rough schedule we have been provided with:

September 10: Start date: Install tree protection, erosion barrier, and begin tree/brush removal
September 12: Begin site demolition to include asbestos, underground storage tank, buildings, fence, sidewalk and curbs
September 25: Begin storm sewer layout and installation
October 6 – November 7: Site grading and construction of curbs, walks, landscaping wall, etc. November 12: Begin paving operations
November 21-25: Install fencing
November 26: Painting
March 2: Landscaping
