Also, I plan on being alive in 50 years and hope some of you will be as well.
Do I think this is a fantastic, must-build plan? No. Do I want an Orange Line stop that can be connected to Metra and create momentum for better integrating the Metra electric lines into the rest of the CTA network? Yes.

I think if the developer is willing/able to come up with billions to invest in the creation of some otherwise politically impossible feat like creating a new rail line to run from Navy Pier-West Loop-Museum Complex-River North, connecting to existing CTA and Metra lines, this would be one of those Burnham-level big plans worthy of exploring. Right now this smells like nothing more than a vanity project.
