OAK Modernization and Expansion Efforts by John Hamilton, CLASS President

A

S YOU ARE WELL AWARE BY THIS POINT, OAKLAND Airport is planning a modernization and expansion effort. During the Environmental Impact Review (EIR) period, there is much opportunity for public input. The airport did receive significant feedback from the City of Alameda and its residents. CLASS too provided a substantial response having retained industry consultants as well to review and comment. The City of Alameda and CLASS have been in discussion with the Port of Oakland regarding its modernization and expansion plans. No final agreement has yet been made as of this writing, but any resolution, or lack thereof, will be posted at the CLASS website when appropriate. Please keep an eye out at CLASSalameda.com for any upcoming news on this issue.

Keep doing your part to post noise complaints of loud aircraft by using the methods outlined on the CLASS website. No complaints indicates that there isn’t a problem as viewed by the congressional committee on aircraft noise whom provides guidance to the FAA. Also welcome our new Bay Farm City Council member Greg Boller. He has been selected by the Mayor to represent the City of Alameda in the Oakland Airport Noise Forum which occurs once a quarter. Tracy Jensen serves as his alternate. The Citizen representative for Alameda is Jay Seaton whom lives on the East end of 94501. CLASS will be providing more information on this important meeting in the future.
