Chicago O'Hare -- The Largest Airport Expansion in History

No problems with interference with the
other airports, just build a 6 lane car bridge and a rail
line.

.... and a toll booth.

Chicago has some nice airports, just not Midway or O'Hare.

The only airports in Chicago are Midway and O'Hare.

There is no room to expand those airports, they are
surrounded. If they can do a Japan type construction
project, build an island miles off shore, just east of where
Miegs used to be. No problems with interference with the
other airports, just build a 6 lane car bridge and a rail
line.

As a taxpayer, why would I support that? Daly would go along with it
to get the money input, and the crony labor contract. But what's to
keep him from bulldozing that too? After all, there's no way to build
it so far out (and ruin part of the lake) that it isn't "a danger" to
Daly (read: a benefit to him to have it vandalized).

Chicago has to be the most GA unfriendly place on the planet.

DC?

Chicago tore up the GA airport for 'security' reasons, then ask to expand
O'hare.

DC is aviation unfriendly, not limited to GA.

Coming back from a bachelor party in New Orleans, my brother woke up as the
plane started descending into National Airport. He decided he needed to use
the toilet and started to get up. He slept through the announcement that
NOBODY could get up during the last 1/2 hour of the flight. Fortunately, his
two friends (one on each side) were able to keep him down until he
understood that we weren't kidding.

$15 billion to expand O'Hare.

Dang, just think of how many GA airports that much $$$ could
rejuvenate!

I think we need to divert these funds to rebuild Miegs!

Just think of how much of that $$$ is going to wind up in the pockets of
Daley's political cronies.

The first bid for major work came in way over budget. They sent it back out
for bid again. Wonder what the final cost will be.
