may be unfamiliar. That’s because it had been closed for decades before reopening in early August.
Now, the entrance is wide open, with new windows looking into the Great Hall. An elevator allows the entrance to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act, Magliari said, though he added that Amtrak also has been seeking quotes for adding temporary ramp to allow wheelchair users to go from street level to floor level.
Colorful posters touting other Amtrak routes span the walls above a passenger waiting area just inside the newly reopened entrance. The posters were saved from the Union Station parking garage before it was demolished a few years ago, Magliari said.The garage site was sold, and a BMO Tower now stands there. About $10 million in proceeds from that land sale was spent on renovations for a Union Station food hall, Magliari told the Sun-Times in 2019.The food hall project was started in 2019.
Magliari said Amtrak doesn’t yet have a definitive timeline for finishing the food hall but is in discussions with possible tenants. Amtrak hopes to find a "master tenant" that will market the space to different vendors.
