The Village of Morton Grove is excited to announce the construction of a new Morton Grove Metra Station. The Village is partnering with the Regional Transportation Authority and Metra to replace the current station that was built in 1976.
When will the project start and how long will it take?
Construction will begin October 14, 2024 and is scheduled to be complete in Summer 2025.
Can I still catch my train in Morton Grove?
YES! Metra service will continue to be provided using the existing station and platform. The existing station will be demolished once the new station building is operational. The goal is to avoid service disruptions to Metra commuter rail.
Can I still park at the Metra station lot?
YES, BUT…The number of parking spots available in the station lot will be reduced from 98 spaces to between 26 and 45 spaces depending on the phase of the project.
If my usual spot is under construction, where else can I park?
Metra commuter parking spots will continue to be offered at the other locations along Elm Street and Lehigh Avenue. The Village is also providing approximately 50 new spaces along Main Street and Nagle Avenue (see red areas in the adjacent map).
Who do I talk to if I have questions?
You may contact the Public Works Department general number at 847-470-5235 if you have any questions about this project.
