Metra, the commuter rail operator in Chicago metropolitan area, has opened a new Maywood Metra rail station at N. 5th Ave. & Main St. The 81.6 square metre indoor station replaces an existing, smaller outdoor shelter. In addition to providing shelter from the elements, the new station is heated, including heated flooring. Along with the new station, 40 parking spots were created on Main Street, east of the Maywood station.
Rosemont-based Christopher B. Burke Engineering, Ltd. (CBBEL) undertook design engineering and construction observation for the USD 2.1 million project that was designed by FGM Architects.
“I am so pleased to cut the ribbon for our new Metra Commuter Station. The station is lovely and quaint and harkens back to the glory days of Maywood that we will bring back. It will shelter our citizens as they wait for the train, and it will give others riding through another look at our town,” said Maywood Mayor Edwenna Perkins.
