The new O'Hare runway opened to much fanfare (and controversy) last fall, but officials are learning it's now all rainbows and lollipops as residents of Park Ridge are complaining of worsening noise issues. In response, a commission of eight residents and an alderman was formed, called the O'Hare Airport Commission. According to the Tribune, the group, "will monitor noise, advocate for fewer flights over Park Ridge, examine environmental issues, and make recommendations for reducing airplane noise in homes and schools."
