evidentiary appendix in support of plaintiffs' partial motion for ...

The last master plan for O’Hare was completed in 1983. It
included the elements of ODP-I; as noted above, additional
runways (as well as some other matters) were omitted from the
final plan for political reasons. 53
In considering EOE [Elgin-O’Hare Expressway] it is crucial to
realize that O’Hare must undertake a “master planning” process
beginning in 1990. Southwest [new] runways will be considered
in this process.…
A new master planning effort should have begun by 1988. For
political reasons, the City was not willing to do so.”
In the recent planning vacuum, several discrete studies have begun.
Together they constitute most of a master plan. [describes the
Capacity Enhancement Plan (a/k/a Delay Task Force), the Part 150
Study 54 and a “Terminal Support Group”] 55
The work of these groups should form the basis of a formal master
plan developed during 1990-92. The possible elements of that
master plan are already referred to by those involved as “ODP-
II”. 56 ***
The goal of the next master plan must be to set limits on O’Hare
development in reasonable concert with NIAS [“Noise Impacted
Adjacent Suburbs”] and more distant suburban interests. 57

… O’Hare will soon undergo a master planning process covering
all elements of ODP-II. 58
2. Franke’s description of the elements of ODP-II.
The major known elements of ODP II will include the following:
a. EOE [Elgin-O’Hare Expressway], including the toll road bypass,
and potential western access to the airport…[ 59 ]
b. Feasibility of additional parallel 14/32 and 9/27 runways in the
southwest area.[ 60 ]
