Hello,
I would like to suggest that the Airport Commission start working on a long term plan
to move the airport out of Palm Springs in the next 10-20 years or somewhere further
out towards the 10 freeway. Or perhaps build a larger airport somewhere further out
and return the current airport to a very small regional airport.
Back when it was designed I don't think they ever thought the population of the
Coachella Valley would grow so rapidly and to the level we have now.
At some point the Airport is going to be way too busy with flights coming in and out
24/7 which would be even more disruptive to our community that it is now. Many
airports (including Burbank CA) have flight curfews. But for some reason we can't
seem to make that happen here in Palm Springs.
I think a long term plan needs to be created NOW for some change. Then the airport
land can be recaptured for all sorts of other things that would be of far better use to
the community that now surrounds the airport.
Thank you for listening,
Martin Royer
