Metra eyes three long term rail lines in suburbs
Metra reviews three proposed commuter routes around Chicago including a south suburban line from LaSalle Street to Crete or Beecher, a semicircular loop around the suburbs, and an inner ring corridor between O'Hare and Midway. Costs range from about 210 million to 1.35 billion, with phased builds and further ridership studies planned. Local officials in Glenwood express support, while Chicago-area planners weigh impact on existing lines and possible airport links near Peotone.
