Bronzeville area to get new Metra stop

By ABC7
June 29, 2009 (CHICAGO) Many local leaders and politicians were on-hand for the groundbreaking ceremony Monday.

Rep. Bobby Rush requested Metra name the new stop in honor of Jones, who served for 20 years in the Illinois General Assembly and died in May 2006.

Construction on the stop is expected to be finished by Fall 2010.
