They need to invest in turning Heritage Corridor into a proper Metra line (3rd track, flyovers at junctions, etc).

You mean running more than 6 trains a day and actually having weekend service?
HC is the saddest line in the Metra system. It would be great if every Metra line could see the level of service we see on the BNSF. Perhaps one day.
Fully agreed on investing more on rail than expressways. 55 definitely needs 4 lanes, but after that it should be set for several decades at the least. Beefed up rail access should be the next priority along that corridor.
