Station Safety  Spring 2025

Rail Fans Geneva Chapter believes it is time for changes at  Geneva's Metra Station 

Rail Fan #1 Recommendations

        Post appropriate signage pertaining to train arrival

            on Platform 1 and Platform 2

 

         Provide signage stating track arrival is announced over 

            loudspeaker and put on monitor about 7 minutes before 

            scheduled train arrival.  Be present at this time to make 

             way to Platform 2 if needed

 

          Provide appropriate signage regarding arrival platform 

              to passengers waiting in parking lot

 

                Create a station and surrounding area pleasing and inviting

                Provide a shelter within 20 feet of main station

                Keep station and shelters open 5:00am to 6pm 7 days a week

 

           Provide outdoor seating within 5 feet of station

​            Institute an ‘Ambassador' program 

              These volunteers would help new and occasional passengers, 

              help reduce track anxiety, and address a safety issue informing

              late arriving passengers to quickly walk to Platform 2 if needed

     

           Create Rail Fan Viewing Area at current shelter on Platform 1

               on weekends as Metra’s thank you to Geneva
