The ICC will hear public testimony on Illinois Central Gulf Railroad service reductions affecting Hyde Park. The 10 a.m. August 30 session on the 19th floor of the State building at 160 North LaSalle will assess authority to restore all or part of the curtailed commuter trains, a power not held by the City Council.
The crucial hearing questions whether July 1 changes amount to a service reduction or a schedule alteration. Citizens should testify on pre July 1 versus current trains at their stations, as testimony helps define the legal distinction and its implications for railroad obligations. The case also considers whether uneven changes across areas can occur without triggering stricter rules.
Lom Connors notes the need for detailed proof of ICG rider ship within the system and urges residents to attend next Thursday's hearing to explain how service has been affected at their station. Contact 5th ward alderman Leon M. Despres at 288-7411 to coordinate testimony.
