Elmhurst seeks input on new Metra station design

Elmhurst is seeking public feedback to help develop design concepts for a planned new Metra station.

The city will host a virtual public information meeting and has a survey to collect feedback from residents and Metra commuters on the potential new architectural characteristics and features for the station.

The meeting is scheduled for 6 to 7 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 18. Information on how to participate and meeting details are located on the city's website at Elmhurst.org/metrastation. A recording of the meeting will be available the next day on the website.

In addition, the public is encouraged to take the visual preference survey at tinyurl.com/elmhurstsurvey. The survey will be open through Feb. 28.

The Elmhurst Metra Station Improvement Project is a multiphase study to identify improvements to the station. Construction of the station may begin in 2023 after design details are confirmed.
