Impact of Palomar Airport Expansion – Carlsbad

[flyer]

Before we settled into our home in RSF, we looked at Bressi and locations north of Via de la Valle, but decided against all of them because of the accelerated traffic problems you encounter the further north you go on I-5, and the airport situation at Carlsbad.

I’ve been flying 757’s for 15 years, and regardless of the type of aircraft, I would never want to live near any airport. That said, some family members who live in Point Loma and Sunset Cliffs are effected by the noise at Lindbergh, and others are not, but, as mentioned, property values seem to remain stable. This is also true at the Scottsdale Airport, where homes surround the airport. Historically, those values have held also.

OK…BEFORE ANYONE GET”S CARRIED AWAY!!!…

All of you are not educated on the project enough to know what the project is. It really makes me upset. FIRST OF ALL, the airport is not being expanded. The terminal is being put on the existing ground, and no other land is being used. SECOND, the runway is not being expanded. It can’t. If you were educated enough, the airport lies on top of the old landfill, which is why when you drive west on Palomar Airport Road, you see the runway dipping. The ground is not stable to handle another portion of runway, and due to FAA regulations on certain types of approaches, there isn’t enough room to add one.
I was involved with the County when the conceptual plan came out, and i was also at the meeting where it was presented. I am also a pilot based out of palomar, and MOST IMPORTANT, i am a resident of Carlsbad that is “affected” by the noise…The plan was told time and time again to be a “RENOVATION PROJECT” not an “EXPANSION PROJECT” like the media has been saying. Right now, the terminal is a portable building. The new terminal will be a “SOLID” structure. It will allow more safety and the ability to have easier long term parking and a “drive up” terminal like San Diego or most commercial airports do have. Bressi Ranch is the stupidest thing i’ve heard of, but that’s not for me to judge. I’m a college student trying to pay car payments, not 100’s of thousands of dollars on a house. Understand this please. I am saying the solid facts here, nothing more or less. i haven’t accused anybody of anything except voicing their opinions with incorrect information. Think about it, We cannot expand the runway. It’s physically impossible! All their doing is making the passenger experience better/easier, and making you, the consumer safer as well.

that’s all i have to say. and please understand, i am stretched in the middle of everything, i ask 1 thing from EVERYONE! Please do not complain about noise from Mercy Air/Life Flight Helicopters. They are trying to save people’s lives, and getting to the patient as fast as possible. Don’t restrict them and makes someone wait and extra few minutes for help, because that could mean life or death in that kind of situation. For god’s sake, what if that was you who needed help!? –

There was an letter to the editor in today’s UT North county titled “Palomar Airport Ignores concerns of Residents”. I don’t have link, but it was written by some pissed off Carlsbad resident.

This is another example of the incompetence of the Carlsbad planning commission.

They approved plans to put high density residential next to Palomar airport, one of the busiest single runaway region airports in the country.

In addition to the planned Walmart at College and Camino Real, this is another example of poorly thought out planning that did not anticipate objections by residents.

THIS AIRPORT IS ONE OF THE BUSIEST SMALL AIRPORTS IN THE COUNTRY

Kind of like saying someone is the tallest short person around, isn’t it?

It all depends upon your definition of small! An attempt to make a situation look extreme when it’s really not.
