Oh Dear... Sounds like somebody was hitting the egg nog and got chatty with media. :'0
WTF are they fighting for? Chicago has completed aquisision of 620 of the 661 parcels in Bensenville.
Except for a dozen hardcore holdouts, everybody - including the residents of St. Johannes Cemetery - are long gone. The railroad has been relcoated and a new 13,000ft runway is now operating overhead.
They gotta be delutional to think they can successfully fight O'hare. (OMP)
A better plan would be to embrace O'hare and prosper like Rosemont has. Ya think?
When the airfield reconfiguration is completed in few years, the Dept. of Aviation will turn its attention to terminal and ground access issues. A new terminal complex will be built to the west of the existing "horseshoe" with access from a new western perimeter expressway that passes right through Bensenville.
Once the western gate is operational, the Kennedy Expressway (eastern gate) will be straightened west of River Rd. and extended to Elgin in corridor bisecting the airport.
Its sad those in charge of Bensenville can't seem to recognize the Rosemont-style econmic boom the OMP will bring.
