Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
A Modest Proposal:
I think we could make a great new advanced site on the Bay side of the
new NW-facing runway. Sideshore wind, right in the middle of the San
Bruno gap, close to the channel, water deep enough for all tides.
All they have to do is give us a parking lot and some access ramps out
there.
They would object to access close to runways, of course, but
we were there first.
The basic fact is that effective mitigation must occur very close to the
airport, because that's where the wind is. Mitigation in SF will
not help Peninsula sailors at all - it's simply impractical to
drive to SF from Santa Clara County.
