Chicago Gets Googled
A controversial deal that would allow Canadian National Railway to create a bypass loop for freight trains around Chicago and direct them through suburbs on the Elgin, Joliet & Eastern Railway has been given federal approval. Supporters say the new bypass will raise $60 million for the local economy and relieve congestion in the city. Opposition comes from those living in the suburbs that would be affected, including Joliet, Aurora, and Elgin, where there are fears that their traffic congestion will now increase.

Oh, I am so amazingly happy about this! Cooler heads prevailed, and so many people will benefit. I was selfishly in favor of this proposal because I live directly over the freight line, and it is LOUD!!
I imagine that my twice-weekly trips to the Lake Zurich Costco might stand a chance of being interrupted by this deal.....
oh well....
less people will be affected with this plan. those in the way out suburbs won't like it but overall it's good
progress? in MY city? Unpossible!
