With regard to the 153rd Street Commuter Facility, here is a summary of the salient elements of this agreement.
• The Village owns and maintains the depot (building) at the 153rd St. Metra Station. The Village also owns some of the parking lots. Metra owns a portion of the parking lots as well, but the Village manages and maintains all of the parking lots. The summary depicting the parking lots and ownership of said lots is attached to this Legistar item. Pursuant to Paragraph 4 of the Commuter Parking Facility Operations and Management Agreement, the Village is also responsible for capital improvements to the parking facilities.
