Very strange which lots are Metra-owned. In general, the ones that were there for decades, mostly pre-RTA. Note that most (though not all) are small and...
Again, I have to disagree. Let's use a couple of specific examples: 1) Pittsburgh - no, the "system" died, no ifs, ands, or buts about it. But two of the three...

... Is it that strange? The oldest pre-RTA lots make sense to me, as they fit the contained-in-ROW criterium (and are mostly in-city, not suburban), while lots...

I guess we then disagree on the meaning of "comeback". To me, it means something that was deteriorating and that deterioration was stopped and maybe was even...
I think instead of "owned" the proper term here should be "has responsibility for" a parking lot. For instance, Belmont (BNSF) is likely "owned" by DG, but is...
