Metra Board members and state and local officials gathered Tuesday to celebrate the reopening of the Harvey Metra Electric station at 147th Street/Sibley Boulevard, following a two-year project to rebuild and upgrade the facility. The station, which reopened to passengers Monday, features a new elevator that makes it accessible to people with disabilities, a covered staircase, a kiss & ride lane, bicycle parking, improved pedestrian pathways, a new platform covered by a canopy and warming shelters, said Metra Board Chair Romayne Brown. Through the $20.8 million project, Metra completed the first major upgrades to the facility in nearly 30 years.
