Getting Around from Maple Avenue and Grove Street

Two rail options, six bus routes, and a lakefront a mile east give this corner unusual reach. The first section below covers connections to the city and the airport, and the second follows workdays, weekends, and errands on foot. Together they show how much of daily life sits within a short walk or a quick ride.

Easy Connections to the City and Beyond

Davis Street Station keeps the commute simple, since the Metra Union Pacific North line runs south to Ogilvie Transportation Center and north toward Kenosha, Wisconsin, and the CTA Purple Line stops at the same station.

Bus riders have options there as well, with CTA routes 93, 201, and 205 and Pace routes 208, 213, and 250 all connecting at the station. And when it is time to fly, O'Hare International is only a 28-minute drive away.
