Roads or runways!
 

Jack Kucera would rather spend five hours on the road than on a runway.

Singling out Chicago because delays at O'Hare International Airport are disrupting air travel across the country, the Federal Aviation Administration on Wednesday tried to break the stalemate over new runways at the airport.

Intervening in the debate between Mayor Richard Daley and Gov. George Ryan over boosting capacity at O'Hare, FAA Administrator Jane Garvey proposed creation of a Chicago task force similar to the one set up in 1991 to deal with delays.

The Federal Aviation Administration has announced a 10-year, $11 billion plan to modernize the air travel system and reduce snarl. The plan is great as far as it goes. It is an amalgam of dozens of incremental improvements. Many are already working on a trial basis, and each will do a little good. For instance, a new runway at a busy airport can add 1 percent to overall airline traffic capacity. The F.A.A. proposes building new runways at 15 busy airports. Together it says its measures should add 30 percent to total system capacity by 2010.
