A rebuilding of the nearly 30-year-old Harvey Transportation Center, which serves Metra and Pace riders, will include an indoor waiting area and restrooms.
Harvey Mayor Christopher Clark speaks Tuesday at the Harvey Transpotation Center, where officials announced a $20 million federal grant toward the $70 million renovation of the hub used by riders of Pace and Metra.
At 154th Street and Park Avenue, next to one of Harvey’s stops on the Metra Electric Line, the Pace station serves nearly 2,500 people daily and is a hub for a dozen Pace routes. According to Pace, the Harvey center handles more passengers than any other suburban station.Construction is scheduled to start next year, and work is scheduled to continue through at least part of 2027.
Under mostly overcast skies and with a chilly wind blowing, attendees at the news conference got a taste of what Pace riders experience using the center. Although Park Avenue runs north and south between the Metra stop and Pace station, Harvey is working to transfer the street from the Illinois Department of Transportation to the city to allow for the new station to be built, according to Pace and Metra.
Harvey Mayor Christopher Clark, who envisions residential and commercial development coming to the area near the transportation center, said the rebuilding is a boost to those plans.“I remember a time in the city of Harvey that we didn’t have this type of investment,” he said.
