If nothing else, submit a letter to the "Bi-Level". Maybe they'll print it and give your situation a little attention such that it could be addressed....
I agree with pretty much everything you said. I'd like to see a better plan in advance of that connection and station. Airport express service I honestly...
You seem to be working under the assumption it'll still be a two track line. The goal is to have three bypass tracks on the O'Hare branch, the first being at...
... Is there anywhere near enough ROW at Damen to allow for this? I know there are some center track segments in the Kenedy ROW that could probably be...

Tell that to those on the Orange and Blue line trains who would have to wait for a few minutes in order for the Airport train to bypass them. Nothing personal....
