Itasca Metra Station Pedestrian Access Improvements

The Village of Itasca was awarded funding to complete Phase II engineering and construction of ADA compliant pedestrian crossings at the Walnut Street railroad crossing, just north of IL-19 (Irving Park Road), and pedestrian activated flashing beacon signals at two crossings along IL-19, one at S. Maple Street and the other at S. Rush Street. New wayfinding signage will also be included in the improvements. The proposed improvements will enhance the pedestrian network and experience to increase the attractiveness and safety of walking and biking to the Itasca Metra station on the MD-W line.
