East of the proposed subway and just south of the tracks is a very
small notation, "8 inch tile to East Grove". The map does not extend
all the way to Fairview Ave, so the station itself is not shown.
As a long time local resident of Downers Grove this map answered on
question I've had for quite a while, whether Dewey ever connected
Maple and Rogers. Apparently the ROW is there; but no road ever existed
Thank you kindly,
