Project Description

Metra is partnering with Pace to create the Harvey Transportation Center on the Metra Electric line. Metra will utilize funds for platform reconstruction and to construct other enhancements that will make the station ADA accessible, improve the commuter environment, and facilitate intermodal transfers between Pace and Metra.
