Here's a light rail idea. When the old CA & E quit, the CTA had to stop it's trains at Forest Park. With all the congestion on the Eisenhower expressway, it seems a natural to extend tracks back to at least LaGrange Road. There is the matter of the cemetery and the court house parking lots, but a modern 'elevated' structure could carry the tracks over all of that, the river, and First Avenue too. Even a pedestrian bridge over the river, from the Forest Park station to the court complex, would be helpful.
