According to the Chicago Tribune, Southwest Side and suburban congresswoman Marie Newman will be with Buttigieg when he visits. She and most of Illinois’ Democratic congressional delegation, along with U.S. Sens. Tammy Duckworth and Dick Durbin, sent a letter to Buttigieg last month asking him to come to Illinois and tour a veritable buffet of “transportation assets” and discuss some of the local wish list plans. Among them? Funding for Metra express service from O’Hare International Airport to Union Station.

I am asking the Mayors in our surrounding towns, part of the CSX Acquisition in 2012, to collectively send a letter to our elected officials to request for appropriate funds for noise abatement (sound proofing) to mitigate noise and vibrations, just as the congressional delegation did with Buttigieg.  Not only is safety (trespassing) an issue and well supported, it is also a health issue (Vibroacoustic Disease) that is not well known and not supported. 

Please continue to share the petition. Thank you.
