Des Plaines is going to purchase more property on Oakton Street as part of an ongoing mission to land a Metra commuter rail station.
The adjoining, undeveloped parcels are at 1374 E. Oakton and 1384 E. Oakton. That's the north side of Oakton between Lee and Center streets, just east of the railroad tracks that are part of Metra's North Central Service line between Antioch and Chicago.
The city council on Monday voted 6-1 to pursue forcibly purchasing the land using eminent domain, even though the family that owns the land is willing to sell."They couldn't sign ," City Manager Mike Bartholomew told the council Monday night."If they can't sign it, they can't transfer the property to us."
