No one we talked to is debating that the bridges along the Metra Union Pacific North Line at Ravenswood Avenue need replacing. It is the way to do it that is up for debate.
-- Neighbors along the western edge of Lakeview are talking with Metra about a construction plan they say will destroy their yards.
The Metra tracks are a few feet east of her home. They lie on top of a low wall made of mossy stone masonry with greenery alongside the tracks, and items such as owl decoys mounted atop the stones. A total of 11 bridges on the UP-North Line will be reconstructed, from Fullerton Avenue on the south to Addison Street on the north.
Indeed, the massive wall that is set to be erected as part of the reconstruction is the issue for the neighbors.Gunderson and Calmeyn worry about possible unavoidable damage to their property.Metra spokesman Michael Gillis explained what the goals of the project are.
