Looking at some pics of the new Randolph, I was thinking of a few things.

1. The waiting room is NICE.
2. The trainshed is surprisingly clean.
3. If NICTD or METRA would pony up the scratch to paint the ceilings of the trainshed white, the light levels would increase dramitically. I've seen this done in dim factories, resulting in brightly lit, safer, and pleasant areas. Same could be done for both trainsheds.
4. If they publicized the secret entrance to Randolph, it might make things easier for people (The north end of ME's concourse, at platform level, is an entry/exit)

Also, it would be nice if the birds were gone...
