They actually listened and decided to keep the terminal open so the demolition plans are totally off the table now. I am still shaking because I honestly expected a much harder fight but I am so relieved we get to stay right where we are. Keep an eye on things …

The City of Chicago and the Department of Aviation are planning on closing our terminal at Midway Airport. Under this plan the Odyssey/Landmark terminal, would be demolished and force Lakeshore Express to seek alternate facilities. Seeking alternate facilities would almost certainly result in an increase in fees and costs related to our service. Please sign our petition to tell the City of Chicago and the Department of Aviation to keep Odyssey open!


If we were to lose our current terminal, it will result in serious consequences for our customers. Forcing us to relocate to another terminal at Midway will almost certainly result in higher airport-related and passenger handling fees, increasing our costs. It would also cause unnecessary confusion for you, our customers. 


Should the facility not receive a lease extension from the city, it is scheduled to be demolished. This is despite the fact that there is a rent paying tenant in the building and several operators use the facility. 
Please help us support the terminal so that we can avoid the unnecessary destruction of a useful facility.

I was just checking the dashboard and we are speeding toward a hundred signatures which is honestly wild because I really thought this would just be me and my neighbor shouting into the void. If you know anyone who actually uses the terminal or hates the idea of losing it maybe send them the link right now while the momentum feels real because I have a feeling the city is totally ignoring us until they see a big number on the screen.

Total waste of money to demolish a perfectly good building. chicago city hall needs to get their priorities straight.
