Large planes 2417?? <br /> <br />Sent: <br />To: <br /> <br />Please read if you don't want more air traffic over your house. Look at a map and see how the <br />EastlWest runway lines up with Lino Lakes/Centerville. <br /> <br />I'm sending this email to Centerville's "in-the-knows" and the ones that might want to have a voice <br />against Anoka's (AC/B) airport expansion. This expansion is being driven by Key Air an out-of-state <br />company that doesn't care if we don't sleep at night or have to stop talking while large planes fly over <br />our houses like the do in the south metro. <br /> <br />Going from 5,000 foot runways at AC/B airport means that the airport goes from a MINOR airport to an <br />INTERMEDIATE airport and the definition of an intermediate airport is runways of 5,001 feet to 8,000 <br />feet in length. <br /> <br />Don't say it won't happen, AC/B airport could easily slip into Intermediate status because there are 1,900 <br />acres at this airport and that it is only second in size to MSP (with its 3,000 acres) Midway in Chicago <br />only has 320 acres and New York's LaGuardia only has 680 acres. <br /> <br />Key Air asked for a 5,000 foot runway in 2007 before they opened for business and now is asking for a <br />6,000 foot runway with 95,000 pound double wheel weight and that right now AC/B airport has only <br />60,000 Ibs double wheel weight. Where will it stop?????? <br /> <br />That in itself will let everyone know that there will be larger aircraft using the AC/B airport. Also, if we <br />go "intermediate" and could have 8,000 foot runways, it means larger aircraft, longer landing/take off <br />guide paths which means more impact on Centerville, Lino Lakes, Blaine, all of the north metro. <br /> <br />Don't believe me...please check out the facts on this web site produced by Concerned Citizens of the <br />North Metro www.ccnm6.com website and read more about what they are trying to do and the facts <br />surrounding aviation at AC/B airport and in the region. <br /> <br />On the website is also Lino Lake's resolution opposing 6,000 foot runways that Centerville could look at <br />- and with Lino Lakes being all around Centerville, maybe Centerville can see that they will be impacted <br />by larger aircraft coming into the AC/B airport, too. <br /> <br />Maybe you could bring a friend/neighbor to the next CCNM meeting on Wednesday the 27th of <br />May 6:00 p.m. at the Northtown Library. Get more facts and an update of what's happening. <br /> <br />I feel we need to stop any expansion at this airport and the Met Council and the MAC and the whole <br />state of MN needs to start planning airports on a statewide scale - we are saturated in the 30 mile <br />metropolitan radius with eight to ten airports - all within ten/fifteen minutes from each other. There is <br />no need for more upgrading of airports within the seven-county metro area. <br /> <br />5/26/2009 <br /> <br /><j/~ <br />
