Project B4B5 Public Meeting Notice - March 22, 2009
Project B4B5, located along the Indiana Harbor Belt rail line, is just less than 8 miles long from North Avenue south to the extension of Plainfield Road. Project B4B5 includes improved signaling through the project area, upgrading a side track to a main track, and adding crossovers and connections to reduce delays. The goal of the proposed improvements is to improve operating speeds, minimize congestion and reduce delays. The proposed signal and track improvements will occur within railroad right-of-way. The communities alongside and/or crossing this project area include McCook, LaGrange, LaGrange Park, Broadview, Bellwood, and Melrose Park. Westchester is just west of the project and Maywood is east of the project.
