Peterson/Ridge station is a railroad station on the North Side of Chicago serving Metra's Union Pacific North Line. It is located at the intersection of West Peterson Avenue and North Ravenswood Avenue in Chicago's Edgewatercommunity area.[2] A groundbreaking ceremony for construction was held on November 1, 2021.[3] Construction concluded and the station opened on May 20, 2024.[4][5][6][1][7]
An infill station in Edgewater was proposed as early as 2013 to address growing demand in the area,[9] but funding issues led to a years-long delay.[10] Metra eventually received $15 million in funding in 2019 to begin construction on the new station.[11] However, construction began in November 2021, two years after receiving funding. One reason for the delay was the objection from the Chicago Department of Water Management. The department feared that the permeable pavement would overwhelm the existing sewer system in the area.[12][13][14]
