Al Lopez's Ghost Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 In today's SouthtownStar (formerly the Daily Southtown) it is being reported that this is a done deal. ITT haas donated half of the necessary land and has agreed to maintain landscaping. Metra will soon be looking for contractors to build the station. You can find the article in today's paper or at http://www.Southtownstar.com/news/880933,0...etraSox.article For you local fans, the article says that "eventually" Metra wants to reroute the Southwest Service Line onto the Rock Island line, which would make the new station available to Manhattan, New Lenox, Orland Park, Palos Park, Palos Heights, Worth, Chicago Ridge and Oak Lawn.
