Good! Metra needs to extend platforms at more of the Chicago stations. I know it can often be complicated by viaducts but it really harms the viability of these stations if riders can't even exit at these stations without changing cars. Mayfair is a good one to do, because it sits so close to Mayfair Junction and has (kind of) a Blue Line transfer.

Also, the project budget is reasonable. Metra could get more bang for their buck by developing a distinctive prototype shelter to drop in at these smaller stations.

Hopefully they can do Grayland next... Good transfer to the Addison bus for Cubs games.
