Maps Author Biography Publisher Tour Summary Grant Park is a large urban park in the downtown “Loop” area of Chicago, Illinois. The park has been host to large urban gatherings such as the Taste of Chicago, sport championship celebrations, and President Obama’s presidential acceptance speech. Grant Park’s most notable features are Millennium Park, Buckingham Fountain, and four world-class museums, including the Art Institute of Chicago, the Field Museum of Natural History, the Adler Planetarium, and the John G. Shedd Aquarium. Other hidden gems reside in little-known areas throughout Grant Park. We’ll reveal all the new additions and some old favorites that even lifetime Chicagoans may not know exist! Back to Table of Contents Glorious Grant Park This tour will begin in the northwestern corner of Grant Park known as Millennium Park, one of the most popular “parks within a park” to be found in any U.S. city. Just completed a few years ago, it is already a big hit with tourists and locals alike. The original Chicago development plan was to leave the area east of Michigan Avenue vacant. New land purchasers of Michigan Avenue lots in 1839 were promised that the land between them and Lake Michigan would remain unoccupied and declared “Public ground. Forever to remain vacant of buildings.” When the land was deeded in the mid-19th century it was originally named Lake Park, only to be renamed Grant Park in 1901 after the famous Civil War general, president, and Illinois resident.

    Commuter Rail System Ridership Trends

    COMMUTER RAIL SYSTEM RIDERSHIP TRENDS ANNUAL REPORT 2016 Prepared by the Division of Strategic Capital Planning February 2017 COMMUTER RAIL RIDERSHIP TRENDS ANNUAL REPORT 2016 I. OVERVIEW Figure 1: 2016 Passenger Trips by Line (Millions of Trips) This report details the trends that influenced Metra 9.2 system ridership in 2016; a year with Metra’s highest 1.7 ever ridership day (Cubs Victory Parade and Rally), higher employment levels, and low gas prices. Metra is 6.9 the Commuter Rail Division of the Regional Transportation Authority and provides commuter rail passenger service on eleven service lines throughout metropolitan Chicago (see Figure 1). The ridership 11.2 statistics used throughout this report are for Metra services only; as such, they do not include Amtrak or NICTD South Shore (SS) passenger statistics. 6.6 Ridership is estimated on a monthly basis based on the number and types of tickets sold. These tickets are assumed to be used during the month of purchase or for the valid month in the case of monthly passes. 8.4 Metra provided over 80.4 million passenger trips in 2016, which is 1.7% unfavorable to the budgeted 16.3 forecast of 81.8 million passenger trips. When compared to 2015, ridership decreased 1.5%. This decrease is greater than the anticipated 0.85% decrease 0.72 budgeted. The 80.4 million passenger trips reported in 8.1 2016 is comparable to ridership in 2006 (see Figure 2). 8.6 Since beginning with a low of 56.5 million passenger 2.5 trips in 1983 on the services that would become Metra in 1984, Metra ridership has increased by 42%, averaging 1.1% growth per year.

A few words of description will inform the reader of what has been placed below the surface of the site to support the enormous weight of the building when that is completed. From the records in the possession of Alderman Francis W.
