The survey indicated that jets are quieter in take off and landing than existing planes that are allowed. Wouldn't you want jets if you care about noise impact?As it stands, I don't want jets on the island airport. I don't care about the noise impact.
How is wildlife impacted by quieter take off and landings? For that matter, how would they be impacted by louder take off and landings ... doesn't seem to be much wildlife around there, except squirrels ... and a small populations of bears on the lake just north of the airport.I am more concerned about the impact to the local wildlife, and I am pretty sure extending the runway will have a significant impact on the harbour.
In what what way does extending the runway have a significant impact on the harbour? Boats won't be stopped from going around. Isn't the amount of lakefill required for this pretty insignificant compared compared to the ongoing lakefilling on the north side of Leslie spit, that you can only see from the lake?
