I was disheartened to read a complete dismissal of the village of Matteson and other Chicago suburbs offered by Canadian National in their recent op-ed endorsing their intention to merge with Kansas City Southern to make the country s first Canada-United States-Mexico rail connection ( CN s proposal will reduce congestion, traffic and pollution in Chicago, May 4). Canadian National actually claimed to solve Chicago s longstanding rail congestion problem by simply going around the core of the city and bypassing downtown Chicago by about 30 miles to the south, looping through Matteson and then heading east towards Indiana.

South Suburban Mayors Rolling Out The Welcome Mat For Amazon, Despite The Costs
When Sheila Chalmers-Currin became mayor of south suburban Matteson in 2017, she had to govern a village that had seen a portion of its economy gutted. The spread of e-commerce contributed to a steep decline of the retail sector, especially among big-box stores. That hit Matteson especially hard. The village eventually lost its Target store, Sam’s Club, a Toys R Us and others. It even lost its only full-service grocery store when Dominick’s closed in 2013.
It was clear Matteson, like many towns dependent on brick-and-mortar shopping districts, needed a new strategy, according to Chalmers-Currin.
