  • SR-509 south access road is a rumor-Screenshot 2023-01-17 at 13-54-13 Des Moines Community Group Facebook

    A Facebook comment thread in which user 'JC Harris CMDM' states that a southern entrance to Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) has been part of the airport's long-term strategic goals since at least 1976, attributing delays to FAA/EPA environmental review of the SAMP. A second commenter disputes the claim, and Harris pushes back, asking the commenter to clarify who they mean by 'our' and asserting it is not a rumour.

As the source for federal transportation grants, the Puget Sound Regional Council was charged with developing a system to meet the growing need for commercial aviation. When the search for a second airport failed, they authorized the Port of Seattle to build the Third Runway, with a mandate to develop a noise abatement and mitigation program. In their effort to stop the Third Runway, the ACC argued over every detail of the Port's efforts--including property buyouts and sound insulation. The dispute was meant to be settled by a three member Expert Arbitration Panel. This is their final report. It finds 2-1, that the Port's program was insufficient in several respects. Despite that, funding for the Third Runway was approved by the PSRC, and the 'Port Package' program, proceeded largely unchanged.
