Metra Clybourn Station Feasibility Study

The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) is conducting a feasibility study to evaluate alternatives for modernizing the Metra Clybourn Station, located on North Ashland Avenue and West Armitage Avenue.

The study will develop alternatives to the existing condition of the Clybourn Station that meet current design standards and guidelines – this might include the relocation of the station to a nearby site that can accommodate modern commuter and potential intercity rail operations.

The Metra Clybourn Station was constructed in 1900 and remains one of Metra’s busiest non-downtown stations, serving both the Union Pacific North and Northwest lines. Despite its high ridership and potential as a key multimodal access point, the station has received minimal investment over the decades.

The Metra Clybourn Station Feasibility Study will explore opportunities to enhance accessibility, capacity, and overall passenger experience, while supporting equitable, transit-oriented, and sustainable development that strengthens regional mobility and economic growth.
