Des Plaines Oakton Street Metra Station Feasibility Study STATION 1 DES PLAINES OAKTON STREET METRA STATION FEASIBILITY STUDY The City of Des Plaines has partnered with AECOM and The Lakota Group to prepare a feasibility study for a potential new North Central Service Line (NCS) station in the area around Mannheim Road and Oakton Street. While both the Union Pacific Northwest (UP-NW) and NCS lines run through Des Plaines, only the UP-NW has stations at Cumberland and Downtown Des Plaines. The City believes that a new commuter rail station in this area could: » Serve as a catalyst for transit-oriented development and redevelopment of vacant parcels in the area. » Add a much needed public transportation option in this area where only 2.5% of workers use public transportation and 75% of workers get to work in single-occupant vehicles. » Provide multi-modal connectivity to the new Pace PULSE Dempster Line. » Offer an alternative way to access O’Hare Airport. PROJECT BACKGROUND + INTENT The NCS Line that currently runs through Des Plaines was once a part of the Wisconsin Railroad Line and at one point had two stations in Des Plaines. According to the Cook County Chronicle, these stations were closed in 1930 and 1965 respectively, before Metra opened the NCS line. When Metra began operations on the NCS line, it reopened many previous stations, but the Des Plaines stations were not included. The City of Des Plaines has been interested in adding a station on the NCS line for several years, and this study is the first step for Metra to determine if a station at this location is feasible. The study seeks answers to the following questions: » Can a location be identified that can physically accommodate a station, station parking, and associated amenities? » Will the station be compatible with current railroad operations? » Will there be a sufficient number of potential users? » Will impacts to traffic, storm water, and other factors be manageable? » Can the station be realistically funded? » How would a station help to stimulate economic development within the area?

This was determined as the best FIS MARET location following an initial site screening analysis, the process for which is outlined in greater detail in Station 3: Station Spacing Overview. The Oaks shopping center to the west of the potential station includes Butera WICKE AVENUE Market, Goodwill, and the former Cardinal Fitness. The area east of the potential station includes a ComEd utility easement and vacant parcels adjacent to what was BUTERA once Romano’s Restaurant. MARKET A Des Plaines Fire Station is located on the south side of Oakton, just west of the railroad tracks, which requires careful consideration of public safety concerns. Questions regarding the impact that a station may have on the Fire Station are LINCOLN AVENUE explored further in Station 2: Community Input & Frequently Asked Questions.
