Description
Description | The Elmhurst Metra train station project is a planned infrastructure project to upgrade the current station, which is undersized for its ridership. The project includes warming shelters, a pedestrian tunnel, platform reconstruction, and surface parking improvements. The project has been delayed for years and its fate is uncertain, with officials expressing doubts about whether the $47.3 million project will happen. The city's portion of the cost is estimated at $10 million to $12 million, with grants expected to cover three-fourths of the costs. Construction is indicated to start next spring, with bids hoped to be received by next June. The city plans to go into debt and pay back the money from a downtown tax increment financing district (TIF). |
