City of Toronto meeting on the Island Airport Tuesday, Setptember 24

Passionate Torontonians throng airport RESA meeting

Hundreds came out to the City’s September 24 consultation on Runway End Safety Areas (RESAs) at the island airport on a rainy night. Federal regulations call for RESAS at the island airport, to be designed and built by July 2027 if the airport is to carry on. Ports Toronto says there are three options (RESA 1, 2 and 3) ranging in cost from $60 to almost $200 million, depending on how many taxiways, extra roads, tunnels etc are added. What if Ports Toronto can’t afford it? Maybe airport services would be consolidated at Pearson, which over 95% of Toronto air travellers already use anyway - served by the UP Express link. And you could have a park, housing or other cool stuff instead - which almost everyone at the meeting, it seems, would rather have.
