The new station will fill a gap along the Rock Island line between existing stations at 87th Street and 35th Street
Construction has started on a new Metra station in Chicago’s Auburn Gresham community.
“It holds the promise of economic renaissance for this hard-hit area, and a literal, as well as a powerful symbolic connection between this proud recovering community and the rest of the great city of Chicago,” state Sen. Jacqueline Collins, a Chicago Democrat who is running for Congress, said at a ceremonial groundbreaking Wednesday. “This station is also a crucial step in the direction of equalizing infrastructure investment across all our communities.
The new station is along one of the lines participating in Cook County’s Fair Transit South Cook pilot program, which in January 2021and boosted service on the Pace 352-Halsted bus route in an effort to galvanize public transit on the South Side and in the south suburbs. The Auburn Park station will be fully compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act, and include a vendor building with glass storefronts. A staircase and two elevators will run between street level and the 480-foot platform, which is set to have a canopy and two shelters.
