This line would literally cover every major development except maybe the 78.

This is literally the Chicago Crossrail proposal. Metra has previously looked into it and found there would be a large enough ridership to justify it. Don't expect it to happen though until CN abandons the St. Charles Airline ROW after phase 4 of CREATE is complete, which won't be anytime soon.
