Commuters in six Southland towns will benefit from transit-related improvements financed by feds and Regional Transportation Authority

The towns involved are Chicago Ridge, Midlothian, Oak Forest, Palos Heights, Richton Park and University Park…Please click here to read Steve Metsch’s story in the Tribune/Daily Southtown.
