This is an update from yesterday's post on last night's meeting held by the Federal Aviation Adminstration on its airspace redesign plan. Residents of some areas of Philadephia and its suburbs west and south of the airport let the FAA know how they think they'll be affected by changing takeoff patterns from PHL.

The airport needs to expand and find ways to move air traffic more effeciently, if this is ever to be a world class city. Tinicum is going to bear the brunt of the noise and we might want to look to Boston, which had a similar neigborhood problem. The state/city/airport did a massive noise abatement project for East Boston residents, that included replacing windows with soundproof windows, noise monitoring stations, etc. I have friends who were involved and the difference in being in their house from 7 years ago to 6 mos. ago was amazing. It costs a ton of money, but at least it was addressed, which I think is what Tinicum really wants, instead of being ignored for decades as they have been on the issues.
