Is the Amtrak station in Rockford, IL close to downtown?

Question

Is the Amtrak station in Rockford, IL close to downtown Rockford? From the map I looked at, it seems like the station's just outside the major urban area. Can I walk from the train station to the downtown area, and if not, is it easy to use a city bus and/or a taxi?

Answer 1

Depends on where you're coming from since Rockford is a pretty spread out area.
