I’m sort of surprised this isn’t part of the Ohare21 project. But these hallways do need to be updated.
O’Hare has been removing sidewalks from the T1 concourses for years. But for those over 60, with kids, or with medical conditions, these arn’t that short. Look at any newer or updated airports and terminals around the world and you will notice they all have moving sidewalks (Singapore, HKG, PVG, Beijing(s), Delhi, FRA, LHR, SFO, etc.). Is it space (they are there now), or cost? It’s usually cost. The O’Hare21 project doesn’t even have a train from T2 to the new satellites. Imagine no trains at Denver or Atlanta? Imagine connecting from a remote gate in the 2nd new satellite in the future to B17? Ugly.
