Metra will be adjusting schedules on the three Union Pacific lines beginning Monday, Sept. 13. This is the second round of schedule adjustments to take effect as many riders begin to return to the office on a regular basis following the Labor Day holiday.  

“We’ve been monitoring on-time performance as well as customer response since our mid-summer schedule changes,” said Metra Executive Director/CEO Jim Derwinski. “My Metra strives to be a service that responds to its customers’ need for reliability. This current round of changes is focused on on-time performance. We will continue to monitor performance across the Metra system and make further adjustments to schedules when necessary.”

Metra introduced a new pilot schedule on the UP North Line on July 12 that offers more off-peak options to meet the post-COVID needs of riders. That schedule was introduced with the expectation that rider feedback and performance analysis would help refine it and make it better.

METRA Alternate Schedules - Information and Schedules for All Lines

Beginning the week of August 23rd (weather dependent), the Village of Cary’s contractor will be performing preventative maintenance on several recently paved roads, including Three Oaks Road, a portion of S. Rawson Bridge Road, Spring Street, High Road, Jandus Road, and the south commuter lots. The contractor will apply an asphalt rejuvenation product that is intended to extend the life of the pavement. This product is environmentally safe and will extend the pavement's life. We appreciate your patience during the application process.

Three Oaks Road, S. Rawson Bridge, High Road, and a portion of Spring Street will remain open to traffic. Please use caution and expect delays.

To avoid the placement of sand as part of the rejuvenator application process given the pedestrian-focused nature of Alfresco Alley, the northern half of Spring Street will be closed to foot traffic for a few days until the product has penetrated the asphalt surface and is no longer tacky to the touch. The Village will be temporarily removing the Alfresco Alley tables, planters, and lighting for this work. The southern portion of Spring Street will remain open to traffic. The south commuter lots will also be closed to vehicles and foot traffic during this process.
