Romeoville East Side Plan

Description

This project created a station area plan for the new Romeoville Metra station, a planned intermediate stop on Metra's Heritage Corridor Line. The plan includes land use, circulation and connectivity plans that complement the new station and recommends transit options to connect the new station area to rest of the community.

Current Activities

The Village Board unanimously adopted the Romeoville East Side Plan on April 18, 2012 as an amendment to the Village's Comprehensive plan. In 2013 Metra included this new station/stop as part of the 2013-2017 Capital Projects Program and is currently exploring ways to obtain the necessary funding to move forward.

In May 2017 the Village broke ground construction of the new station with funding provided from the Illinois Transportation Enhancement Program. More information can be found reading the Romeoville Press Release
