With 560 acres of medical research facilities, labs, and classrooms, and more than 40 healthcare facilities, visited by some 50,000 people per day, the Illinois Medical District is a major economic engine. People need convenient access to the campus and to get around within it. With this in mind, a volunteer thinktank submitted a master plan for the district to the IMD leadership, with several ideas to improve transportation options. Last month, the IMD voted to incorporate the ideas into its official master plan.
