Midway is by far the most landlocked airport. Look at it on Google maps. It sits in the heart of a residential area.
They've been trying for a while to get a third airport built here, there just hasn't been any luck. When I was still in High School an alderman from the far south side came to talk about politics and what have you and he said that there was a landfill that they city was pushing for to become an airport. It's now a park
^^ The Gold Line looks pretty sweet...and the fact that it's using existing Metra rail makes it seem like it would be able to be up-and-running relatively quickly...how realistic is it?
Yeah, it's already running as the Metra Electric line. They would just rebrand it and throw down heavy rail tracks and infrastructure.
Just that one Metra Electric line (what would become the gold line) already serves more passengers on a daily basis than the entire systems in Minneapolis, Houston, Baltimore, Phoenix, etc.
It's a heavily used piece of infrastructure - but I wish they'd give us some NEW lines as opposed to just re-branding certain lines like the Gold Line and when they opened the Pink Line a few years ago.
Very true. That would make Chicago's L even more user friendly
LOL. That would make the L user friendly, period. Right now using the L to get from one neighborhood to another when not on the same L line is nightmare.
