Crete Downtown and Balmoral Park Station Area Plans
Description
This project developed station area plans for the proposed Downtown Crete and Balmoral Park stations along the proposed Metra Southeast service commuter rail line.
Current Activities
As of the end of 2010, Metra has completed the Alternatives Analysis for the proposed Southeast Service Line. On March 7, 2011, then Governor Quinn signed into law House Bill 1644 which established the Southeast Commuter Rail Transit District which now has authority to acquire rights to use the freight rail line, buy land to build train stations and purchase rail cars.
