No, that is what city streets are for. If I have a problem, I am going
to the first place I can find. Airports are secondary.

I found this:

"Pending legal action relating to the March 2003 closure of Meigs Field,
Openlands is working to secure Northerly Island as a world-class park,
providing unparalleled lakefront open space for all of the public to enjoy."

I suggest that the open space be green, flat. Dimensions of 5000' x 100'
would be good.
