  • Chiflu – Corflu 33
    Progress Report 1 DECEMBER 2015 Chif lu – Corflu 33 Chicago 2016 – May 13-15 Progress Report 2 April 2016 (RIP Art. A trufan and a true friend to us all.) Home Stretch Well here we are one month out from Corflu 2016. This is the "now it gets real" moment for any convention. The list of to-dos gets longer every day, especially as things previously neglected suddenly rear their head ("Can I park your car for $60 a day sir?" and "I'm sorry do your attendees expect chairs in the conference room?"). The last one being a real question asked many years ago as we setup a con venue. It has been a while since I last organized a con, and those are two perfect reasons why that has remained true! But, the end is nigh, and we will have a "great time" - to paraphrase a wannabe contemporary politician, we will also have "the best time." Thank you President, er.. I mean King Trump for those inspiring words to live and plan cons by. This progress report sets the tone for what to expect at "the Chiflu". Conveniently hosted in downtown Chicago, there's a wealth of things to distract you from the actual con, and I implore you to take full advantage of the opportunity to enjoy our fine city. Except of course when there's programming happening. It is hard to walk around Chicago and not be inspired by the amazing architecture, public art, friendly locals, and sheer exuberance of it all. Also, spring has gotten off to a "great" start, and we are fully expecting "great" things in mid-May.

Lightfoot and city leadership today announced the Central City Recovery Roadmap, a guide to the revitalization of Chicago’s greater downtown area and street activations across the downtown area that encourages Chicago residents and visitors to come back downtown this summer and fall. "Our city cannot fully bounce back from the pandemic until the cultural, retail and financial engines that power our economy are able to return at full capacity," said Chicago Mayor Lori E. Lightfoot. "From introducing a new set of street activations to get residents outdoors and encourage them to support our businesses to working closely with scores of civic organizations and other stakeholders to ensure a solid recovery, our city is more than prepared to welcome residents and visitors alike back to a thriving downtown. Taken together, these initiatives and collaborative approach to economic recovery will help our downtown and our city become stronger and more resilient than ever before." The Central City Recovery Roadmap, issued by the City of Chicago and the Chicago Central Area Commission (CCAC), coordinates implementable actions across sectors to achieve a strong reopening this summer that will guide Chicago into full recovery over the next several years.

  • Chicago to St. Louis High-Speed Rail Tier 1 Final Environmental Impact Statement: Volume I
    Section TRANSPORTATION 6 IMPACTS 6. Transportation Impacts6. Transportation 6.0 Transportation Impacts This section describes the transportation impacts expected with the No‐Build and Build Alternatives. The Service Development Plan and expected travel benefits are presented. Year 2030 ridership projections and operating revenues for passenger rail service are presented for each alternative. Projected annual person trips for air, bus, and automobile intercity travel are also presented. In addition to the intercity passenger information, impacts to future freight and commuter rail operations and vehicular traffic are discussed, including impacts from construction and vehicular impacts associated with the changes proposed at the highway‐railroad at‐grade crossings in the corridor. Generally, transportation impacts are expected to be the same for the Build Alternatives (Alternatives A and B and Preferred Alternatives C and D). Therefore, much of the discussion in this chapter compares impacts between the No‐Build and Build Alternatives. Where there are expected differences amongst the Build Alternatives, additional documentation is provided for each of the four Build Alternatives. 6.1 Service Development Plan In accordance with FRA High Speed Rail guidance referred to in 74 Fed. Reg. 29900 (June 23, 2009), this section outlines the Service Development Plan (SDP) for the Build Alternatives (Alternatives A and B and Preferred Alternatives C and D) for the Chicago – St. Louis corridor described by this Tier 1 Environmental Impact Statement. The following items are addressed within this subsection: Intercity travel options Service levels/frequencies Capital program needs Ridership/revenue forecasted, including number of passengers and boardings/disembarking at stations 6.1.1 Intercity Travel Options Intercity travel by auto, bus, and air represent alternative travel options to high‐speed intercity rail.

    News Release Metra Media Relations 312-322-6776 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE New Rock Island schedule takes effect Feb. 1 Revision adds early morning options and some new express trains CHICAGO (Jan. 21, 2021) – Beginning Monday, Feb. 1, Metra’s Rock Island Line customers will have more travel options, including new early morning trains that were requested by riders and some additional express service. “Metra made a commitment to revise and enhance its schedules in response to customers as the region recovers from the COVID-19 pandemic, and that is precisely what we are doing,” said Metra CEO/Executive Director Jim Derwinski. “Our goal remains to provide the safest, most affordable, most reliable and most convenient service possible.” The revised schedule includes a new inbound Train 400, which will depart Joliet at 4:30 a.m. and make stops along the mainline to Chicago’s LaSalle Street Station. Pre-COVID, that train had been particularly popular with construction workers who work downtown. Beverly Branch riders will also have a new early morning inbound Train 600, which will depart Blue Island at 5:20 a.m. and make all stops along the branch to LaSalle Street. Other highlights of the changes include: • A second new train on the Beverly Branch, Train 606, will depart Blue Island at 7:36 a.m. and make all stops along the branch to LaSalle Street. • On the mainline, Train 306 will replace Train 408 and depart the Tinley Park-80th Avenue Station at 7:38 a.m., making all mainline stops to Chicago. • A new morning inbound express Train 706 will depart Joliet at 7:30 a.m., make all stops to the Tinley Park/80th Avenue Station and then operate as an express to the 35th Street/“Lou” Jones Station before continuing to LaSalle Street.
