2020-10-09 11:54City Of Des Moines – PSRC Regional Aviation Baseline Study Comments
The City of Des Moines appreciates the opportunity to provide additional comments on the Regional Aviation Baseline Study that PSRC has undertaken on behalf of the Federal Aviation Administration. As you are aware, the City’s proximity to SeaTac Airport results in disproportionate impacts experienced by Des Moines residents and surrounding communities. The City has consistently provided comments to PSRC that encourage a long term and comprehensive view of aviation planning in the region and support of policy and planning work toward siting of a second international airport. The City has also participated in the Regional Transportation Plan and Vision 2050. As previously stated, we were particularly encouraged by PSRC’s response to a May 19, 2018 letter from the City of SeaTac relating to the Regional Aviation Baseline Study, stating in part “In addition to synthesizing data and findings from numerous separate studies and master plans, the study will identify meaningful options for state, regional, and local leadership to consider in accommodating the region’s anticipated aviation activities. These options will describe opportunities and tradeoffs, including community impacts and concerns.” We appreciate a comprehensive look at aviation needs in our region, however, the City has serious concerns with some of the study’s underlying assumptions. We strongly object to the assumptions related to the “baseline” scenario, which are carried through in all the scenarios. The assumption that SeaTac Airport implements both the short term projects and the long term vision projects of the SeaTac Airport Sustainable Airport Master Plan (SAMP), is not appropriate… -
