He said it's available for express trains to O'Hare Airport, as well as light rail service connecting McCormick Place to Streeterville and Navy Pier, an idea akin to the unbuilt downtown circulator.
Although we don't know how feasible this is, we like the creative thinking. This building has issues, but maybe the city government could actually salvage it. Who knows...
