Chicago RTA to draft development plan for Crystal Lake Metra stations

Officials from Chicago’s Regional Transportation Authority (RTA) and Crystal Lake, Illinois, last week began creating the Crystal Lake and Pingree Road Stations Strategic Action Plan. 

The plan will identify strategies to enhance development and accessibility around two Metra stations on the Union Pacific/Northwest line over the next decade.

RTA and city officials will seek public input during the yearlong planning process.

“The planning process will help improve transportation options by providing more places for people to live and work near transit in Crystal Lake and surrounding communities for years to come,” said RTA Executive Director Leanne Redden in a press release.
