Richton Park to Start Building New Commuter Station
Construction on the Richton Park commuter station begins next week, relocating about 20 parking spaces from the quarterly to the monthly lot and creating a temporary kiss and ride area. Village officials, led by Peter Cioni and George Allen, warn of brief delays as heavy equipment moves in. Traffic will be rerouted on Mill Road with barricades and signs to separate construction from commuter flow.
