It’s hard to tell how accurate this poll is, but FWIW, about 85% of respondents on Soxtalk were in favor of the Railyards proposal IIRC.The poll showed 60% in favor of the Amtrak maintenance facility and 70% in favor of the potential Railyards mixed-used development anchored by a stadium. But the poll also showed only 11% of the respondents had “heard a lot” about Amtrak’s proposed facility and less half “have heard anything at all,”The last stat definitely checks out.

Every post you have made on this topic has been vengeful at best, lies and fantasy at worst. If you added nothing to this thread it would be a massive improvement over your previous posts. Now run along, the adults are talking.You failed to add any substance to this discussion. Zero. You tracked my posts with vengeance and anger despite the fact that nothing was addressed to you. What for? An addiction to one-upmanship? I have at times encountered know-it-alls who get mouthy and challenge others for sport. I ignore them, especially the anonymous keyboard warriors. Waste of time.

Waste of time.You have spent the entire thread making up lies. Of course your lies weren't addressed to me, but I am sure going to challenge them. Everyone else can handle this, even the ones who don't think the Railyards are ideal. You are the entire problem here. Continue your lies, and you will be continually challenged on them. Stay mad.

A significant number of Chicagoland residents want this.Yeah, the fact that many aren’t even aware of the Amtrak Bridgeport is totally believable.Lee talks about potential litigation again in the Crain’s article. Unless Amtrak and the FRA failed to follow proper regulations, I just don’t see what standing the city would have to sue since this is being done on railroad propertyThe next city hall meeting will be Nov 18. Are they going to have a productive discussion or is this just another opportunity for an angry mob to shout down Amtrak and union officials when they try to speak?
