The 59th Street station on the Metra Electric District line sits at the intersection of 59th Street and Stony Island Avenue, providing direct service to Millennium Station in the Loop in roughly 15 minutes during weekday rush periods. Residents can walk to the University of Chicago’s main campus and medical center, the Museum of Science and Industry, and Jackson Park, while the station’s location also places them within a short bus or bike ride of the Lakefront Trail and Hyde Park’s retail corridor along 55th and 57th Streets.
