Chicago Plan Commission Meeting - October 16, 2014 INTRODUCTION With 77 existing and 2 planned Metra stations in the City of Chicago, how can the benefits of these stations support residents, businesses, and commuters? In 2013 the City of Chicago, Metra, and the RTA set out to develop “typologies” that will help guide development around stations and improve station areas to benefit Metra users. These typologies are based on a similar study called the CTA Station Area Typology Study and Transit Friendly Development Guide, which was completed in 2009. The goals of the Metra Station Typology Study, which are provided to the right, focus on the design, improvement, and accessibility of the Metra stations that serve Chicago’s neighborhoods, commercial districts, and employment centers. By achieving these goals, intended outcomes include encouraging increased Metra ridership, enhancing safe and efficient connectivity to the rail stations, and providing the City with a blueprint for how new development and community improvements should be appropriately scaled to encourage transit use and fit the context and character of each neighborhood. As a result, use of this document in discussions with developers is encouraged. GOALS 1 2 3 Incorporate transit-friendly design of : new development around Metra stations Guide improvements to station areas : over time, such as pedestrian crossings, lighting, wayfinding, and parking Improve the accessibility and use of : Metra in the City of Chicago Working together with Metra, CTA, RTA, CDOT, and a team of consultants, the City built upon the seven typologies identified in the CTA study and added two new typologies to create a set of nine typologies for the Metra station areas in Chicago, as summarized below. From the Loop and neighborhood-focused station areas to identifiable business districts and employment centers, each typology is tailored to fit the distinct characteristics of the area around the Metra station. METRA STATION AREA TYPOLOGIES DC MC LC DN UN LN SD MD RI DOWNTOWN CORE MAJOR ACTIVITY CENTER LOCAL ACTIVITY CENTER DENSE URBAN NEIGHBORHOOD URBAN NEIGHBORHOOD LOW DENSITY NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICE EMPLOYMENT DISTRICT MANUFACTURING EMPLOYMENT DISTRICT MIXED RESIDENTIAL/INDUSTRIAL NEIGHBORHOOD CITY OF CHICAGO & METRA STATION TYPOLOGY STUDY NOTE: LN and RI are the two new typologies developed for the Metra Station Area Typology Study. The other seven typologies are consistent with the CTA Station Area Typology Study completed in 2009. 1

Chicago Plan Commission Meeting - October 16, 2014 DC MC LC DN UN LN SD MD RI 2 DOWNTOWN CORE Located in the Loop and adjacent high density areas, Metra service generates highest ridership counts in the system within the City of Chicago. Land uses are primarily employment-generating uses within the central business district, with a mix of retail and residential. Residential primarily in high-rise buildings. Superior access to CTA rail and bus. MAJOR ACTIVITY CENTER An MC is a major node of activity generally located outside of the downtown core. Metra ridership at the MCs varies, but all station areas are served by CTA rail and bus. They typically have a balanced mix of residential, commercial, and employment-generating uses, with residential development typically provided in mid- to high-rise buildings. LOCAL ACTIVITY CENTER An LC is primarily characterized by the Metra station being the central focus of a built-up and identifiable neighborhood. An LC typically has the highest density and greatest mix of uses around the station. Infill development and adaptive reuse present opportunities to enhance the vitality of the LC. DENSE URBAN NEIGHBORHOOD A DN serves Chicago neighborhoods with a high concentration of development and a high level of riders who walk to the station. While all stations have access to CTA bus, only Rogers Park has nearby CTA rail access. Land use is composed of a mix of commercial development near the stations surrounded by residential development. URBAN NEIGHBORHOOD A UN serves an established neighborhood, but ridership varies in intensity and about half of riders walk, bike or take transit to the station. Land use is primarily residential, but many UNs have commercial districts. UN stations generally have CTA or Pace buses with only a few having CTA rail stations nearby. LOW DENSITY NEIGHBORHOOD An LN is predominantly residential in nature with modest Metra ridership. LN is one of two new typologies that has been created for Metra stations. With more than three-quarters of the land use devoted to residential, an LN has a strong residential character with minimal retail and employment uses located around the station areas. SERVICE EMPLOYMENT DISTRICT An SD is typically identified by a major service use with high employment, such as a university or airport. Two of the four SD stations are located next to major universities: Chicago State University and the University of Chicago. The other two serve O’Hare Airport, which is a major multimodal transportation hub with access to various employers. MANUFACTURING EMPLOYMENT DISTRICT An MD is generally characterized by a significant amount of manufacturing land uses. Over one-quarter of the total land use is devoted to industrial, warehouse, or wholesale trading. Another quarter are for railways and freight use. Residential uses still comprise less than one-third, which contributes to about half of all commuters accessing the MD stations. MIXED RESIDENTIAL/INDUSTRIAL NEIGHBORHOOD An RI is an area in which the Metra station serves both residential and industrial uses. The train tracks often separate these uses which have evolved over time. 26,667 AVERAGE WEEKDAY AM BOARDINGS 616 AVERAGE WEEKDAY AM BOARDINGS 785 AVERAGE WEEKDAY AM BOARDINGS 440 AVERAGE WEEKDAY AM BOARDINGS 302 AVERAGE WEEKDAY AM BOARDINGS 194 AVERAGE WEEKDAY AM BOARDINGS 174 AVERAGE WEEKDAY AM BOARDINGS 335 AVERAGE WEEKDAY AM BOARDINGS 234 AVERAGE WEEKDAY AM BOARDINGS CITY OF CHICAGO & METRA STATION TYPOLOGY STUDY

Chicago Plan Commission Meeting - October 16, 2014 This study formulated the nine typologies based on the CTA typologies and analyses of a variety of data, including: land use; zoning; density; neighborhood character; Metra ridership data, frequency of service, and fare zones; commuter parking; access to CTA bus and rail; walkability and bikeability scores; nearby employers and business districts; local institutions; and opportunities for development and station area improvements. The three maps on pages 6-8 illustrate the typology designated for each of the 77 existing and 2 planned Metra stations in the City of Chicago. These maps also depict the typologies for the CTA rail stations, which enables comparison of the Metra and CTA typologies. Overall, the Urban Neighborhood (UN) typology is the most common designation, applicable to 29 of the 79 total stations in Chicago. Second and third most common are Mixed Residential/Industrial Neighborhood (RI) and Local Activity Center (LC) with 12 and 11 stations, respectively. LEARNING FROM THE COMMUNITY In addition to data analyses, the study was guided by feedback obtained from meetings and conversations with various stakeholders, including Aldermen, residents, and a Steering Committee comprised of City, CDOT, and transit agency staff. A series of three public meetings were conducted in March and April 2014. Additional public feedback was garnered from the project website: TOD vs TFD Transit oriented development (TOD) is generally defined as development that is oriented towards and integrated with a nearby transit facility, such as a rail station or bus line. TOD is typically perceived as a means to improve access to the transit facility by building up the station area as a compact, mixed use district that is intended to encourage increased transit ridership. The City’s multi-pronged transit network -- comprised of Metra commuter rail, CTA rail and bus, and Pace bus -- already makes Chicago transit oriented. As a result, the City has generally adopted the term “transit friendly development” (TFD) to more closely align with the planning and design approaches that help facilitate development that take advantage of access to Chicago’s transit system. TFD focuses on multimodal connectivity, appropriately scaled development, and station area improvements that create better access to transit facilities and encourage greater transit ridership. The case studies in this document illustrate ways to support TFD around Chicago’s Metra stations.

The Chicago commuter rail system is deeply rooted in the City’s history, starting with the introduction of the first local passenger railroad line in 1856 extending six miles between the city center and Hyde Park, which was an independent township at that time. Over the next few decades, horse omnibus lines, streetcars, and horsecars continued to build up the City’s demand for more expedited modes and routes for transport, particularly as the City and region steadily expanded. It wasn’t until the 1880s when infrastructure for commuter train service emerged, with railroads emanating in multiple directions from the City into the growing metropolitan area. Over time the commuter rail system continued to modernize and expand, with the radial pattern of commuter rail lines mostly preserved today to form the foundation of the present Metra system. The creation of the initial elevated railway (the El) and street railway systems took place in the late 19th to early 20th century. In 1947 Chicago’s original elevated lines, buses, and streetcars were consolidated into the CTA. By 1963 the CTA began its expansion to the City’s two airports and the inner ring suburbs like Skokie, Evanston, and Oak Park. While Metra’s eleven commuter rail lines extend to the far north, west, and south suburbs, almost onethird (77 of 241) of the existing Metra stations are located within the City of Chicago. This rail system enables residents, employees, and visitors to not only commute out into the metropolitan area, but also travel within city limits between various destinations across Chicago. Metra passenger service on the BNSF Railway line and three Union Pacific lines is operated by employees of these railroads under terms specified by purchase of service agreements with Metra, while the remaining lines are operated directly by Metra employees. Metra operates service on two lines -- the Heritage Corridor and North Central Service -- via trackage rights agreements with Canadian National and on the SouthWest Service via a trackage lease agreement with Norfolk Southern. Metra also operates on four Metra-owned lines: the Milwaukee District-North, Milwaukee District-West, Metra Electric District, and Rock Island District. The Northern Indiana Commuter Transportation District 4 CREDIT: FLICKR (USER: JIM WATKINS) BRIEF HISTORY OF COMMUTER RAIL IN CHICAGO CREDIT: GOOGLE IMAGES (UNCREDITED) Chicago Plan Commission Meeting - October 16, 2014 (NICTD), which provides commuter rail service from Chicago to South Bend, Indiana, operates part of its South Shore commuter rail service on Metra’s Electric District line. METRA CONNECTIVITY TO CTA & PACE The connectivity between Metra and other CTA and Pace transit facilities is extremely important to ensure residents, workers, students, and visitors can efficiently navigate through Chicago via train or bus. On average, about 10% of commuters using Metra within the City utilize the El or bus via CTA or Pace to access the Metra station. This percentage can be as high as 45% for the Western Avenue station on the BNSF line, which is a located in a prominent manufacturing district. In addition, many stations in the Loop and transportation hubs such as the Clybourn, Jefferson Park, and O’Hare Transfer stations rely heavily on CTA and Pace connectivity. CITY OF CHICAGO & METRA STATION TYPOLOGY STUDY

USERS’ GUIDE TO CREATING TRANSIT FRIENDLY STATION AREAS This guidebook provides an illustrative case study for each of the typologies (other than the Downtown Core) to demonstrate characteristics of each typology and ways to enhance the user experience around the station area. Whether commuters are arriving by bike, seeking a parking space, or walking from their home down the street, the case studies illustrate different ways to improve how people approach and relate to the Metra station. These case studies are found on pages 11-27. CREDIT: FLICKR (USER: CHRIS & AMY CATE) This capacity for people to connect from CTA and Pace to any one of the Metra stations within the City reinforces the notion that Chicago is already highly transit oriented. This study promotes strategies that will enable the City of Chicago -- from neighborhood residents and aldermanic wards on up to City departments and sister agencies -- to further enhance the transit friendliness of Chicago’s neighborhoods through collaborative efforts in development, design, and community improvements. CREDIT: WIKIMEDIA COMMONS (USER: Zol87) While only certain Metra stations are located within walking distance (½-mile radius) of a CTA El station, all 79 existing and planned Metra stations in Chicago are served by at least one bus line within walking distance. Some stations are served by multiple bus lines, providing more links to various neighborhoods and greater opportunities for transit connectivity between bus and rail. CREDIT: TESKA ASSOCIATES, INC. Chicago Plan Commission Meeting - October 16, 2014 Improved safety, such as lighting and sidewalks, better signage, and more convenient access and parking were some of the most common suggestions that arose in conversations with aldermen and residents. Better signage and general upkeep of station houses were also deemed highly important. To complement the case studies, a set of images on pages 28-29 depicts examples of many of the recommended improvements shown in the case studies. Pages 30-36 provide a users guide of strategies and resources that local organizations, elected officials, and property owners can utilize to take steps to make their properties and station areas more transit friendly.
