A new, user-friendly citizen website threatens to send record complaints about O’Hare International Airport jet noise soaring even higher.
The new jet noise-reporting site racked up more than 2,000 O’Hare noise beefs in the first 24 hours after the Fair Allocation in Runways coalition, known as FAIR, announced its existence last Monday. That’s nearly 30 percent of what the city’s complaint system reported for the entire month of February 2014.
Last month, a test group of new website users logged more than twice the number of O’Hare jet noise beefs for the month as the city had compiled by phone and online the previous January, the website’s developer, Darrin Thomas, said Tuesday.
