Montgomery Park and Ride Facility Plan

Description
The project developed a plan to guide the location of a park and ride and potential a station area site for the proposed Metra Burlington Northern Santa Fe extension. The resulting plan provided recommendations to link the proposed station area with the existing downtown, residential areas and employment centers as well as transit-oriented development options. Initial phases of the plan call for the development of a Park-N-Ride that would service the Aurora Metra Station.
Current Activities
The Village Board adopted the Plan in September 2009. Two potential sites were identified for a future Park-N-Ride: one site north of Route 30 east-adjacent to railroad tracks and one site south of Route 30 west-adjacent to the railraod tracks. Pace and the RTA will continue to monitor the market to implement a Park-N-Ride at one of the two locations.

This plan was awarded an IL-APA Award in 2010.
