What new transit stations will be built in Chicago?

Leaving out the future Circle Line, the West Loop Transit Station, and the Block 37 megastation, what new stations are in talks of being constructed on Chicago's Metra/CTA system?

Which ones do you guys anticipate will be built sooner rather than later?

This includes both CTA and Metra, and both the city and those damn burbs. Are there any new stations u/c now? Correct me if I"m wrong, but there are a few suburban Metra stations being built as we speak, right?

Any word about new stations along the western or southern branches of the green line? How about a new station at Roosevelt/Clark along the Metra Electric line? I once heard talk about that one.

I encourage all of you to become members of Campaign for Better Transit, a website and forum which deals with Chicagoland transportation. I just ran into it today, its website is www.bettertransit.com and has a few dedicated forumers, although there is still a lot of room for growth. Lets show our support--not just for skyscrapers, but for the region's public transportation system. >
