VIEW ARTICLE<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\r\nSuburban officials have high hopes an actual building where fliers can check bags, go through security and ride a people-mover train to terminals is coming to the west side of O’Hare International Airport.<\/span><\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n
The Illinois tollway is extending Route 390, the former Elgin-O’Hare Expressway, east. The road is expected to penetrate O’Hare by 2019 or so, providing western access to the airport for suburbanites.<\/span><\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n
Previous, more modest plans involved a parking lot and bus to convey passengers, but that underwhelmed DuPage leaders who wanted a western terminal.<\/span><\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n
Recent “conversations (with Chicago) have been positive,” Tollway Chairman Robert Schillerstrom said Friday.<\/span><\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n
In addition to parking, “they’re going to construct a building where people can come in, get their tickets, go through security, check their bags and take a people-mover to anywhere in the airport,” he noted.<\/span><\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n
A Chicago Department of Aviation spokesman did not comment.<\/span><\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n
Development on the western side of the airport comes amid other significant changes. The city is retiring one diagonal runway in 2018 and will open a new parallel runway on the north airfield in 2020.<\/span><\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n
Last summer, Chicago announced a massive redevelopment program at O’Hare that includes nine new gates at Terminal 5 and redeveloping the outdated Terminal 2.<\/span><\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n
At the time, CDA officials said a people-mover train was coming to the west side of the airport eventually. They could not confirm when, saying they were prioritizing the other expansions.<\/span><\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n
The city intends to expand Terminal 5, which opened 23 years ago, by 25 percent.<\/span><\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n
Plans for Terminal 2 would convert the underused facility into a central hub with a new U.S. Customs and Border Patrol center and TSA screening stations.<\/span><\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n
DuPage County leaders have pushed for a western entrance and terminal at O’Hare for decades, with expectations it would spark an economic boom.<\/span><\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n
The tollway is currently building Route 390 along Thorndale Avenue and will complete a section from I-290 to Route 83 this year.<\/span><\/p>\r\n <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED BY: DAILY HERALD, APRIL 7 | VIEW ARTICLE Suburban officials have high hopes an actual building where fliers can check bags, go through security and ride a people-mover train to terminals is coming to the west side of O’Hare International Airport.
