Metra has reached an agreement with business and civic groups in Lake County to share the costs of a potential two-year pilot project for two new reverse-commute trains on the Milwaukee District North Line and to work on a definitive agreement to share the cost of installing a universal crossover near Lake Forest, which would create additional opportunities for enhanced service.
The public-private partnership agreement, which must be approved by the Metra Board of Directors, is the culmination of a process that began with an appearance by Lake County officials at a Metra Board meeting in April.
