Elon Musk To Help With Chicago's Infrastructure Just Days After Infraccess CEO Neil Rodney Smith Was Murdered Over Chicago's Infrastructure Woes!


Rahm Emanuel, Elon Musk talk tunnel for O'Hare-downtown high-speed rail....

What timing.....

Just days after Infraccess CEO Neil Rodney Smith was possibly murdered Over Chicago/Illinois Infrastructure woes now comes this.....

Mayor Rahm Emanuel is talking to entrepreneur Elon Musk about the possibility of the technology investor and SpaceX founder using a high-tech digger to bore out an underground high-speed rail line connecting downtown to O'Hare International Airport. On Monday, Emanuel described the discussions as preliminary, but said he plans to have Musk's team here to see if digging a rail line makes more sense than other possibilities like using an existing railroad right-of-way or double-decking the CTA Blue Line to speed travelers to and from the airport. The mayor resurrected the long-discussed high-speed train in early 2016, a dream predecessor Richard M. Daley had talked about off and on since the early 1990s. Emanuel sees it as a way to improve Chicago's profile with business travelers who don't mind spending $20 or more for a quick trip downtown from the airport on a European-style fast train, as well as continue his own efforts to build a legacy as a transportation infrastructure leader. Emanuel has given scant details on the funding for such a huge transportation endeavor, though his administration said in February that it had hired former federal transportation official Bob Rivkin to "provide legal expertise in identifying a clear path forward and working with potential partners" with the goal of starting the project within the next three years. Aviation Commissioner Ginger Evans has said the administration would like to go out for bids by the end of this year. Chicago Tribune Read More>>>>>>>>
