FAA Airspace Redesign Project
The Federal Aviation Administration is completing a seven- year study to analyze and redesign the airspace over the Newark, LaGuardia, and Philadelphia airports. Flight paths over this airspace have not been significantly altered since the 1960s. The purpose of the study is to increase efficiency and improve air safety. The FAA's website has FAQs, a summary of the study, as well as the Environmental Impact Study. For more information, visit www.faa.gov/nynjphl_airspace_redesign. Meeting: The FAA has agreed to hold a public meeting in Rockland County to take public comment. The meeting will be held:
Monday, July 30, 2007, 6:00 p.m., 115 North Torne Valley Road, Hillburn Telephone: 735-2324
Directions: Take NYS Thruway (I-287) west to Exit 15A - Sloatsburg/Rte 59. At end of ramp, turn right onto Rte 59 South. Proceed 1/2 mile and cross trestle bridge over rr tracks. Continue a short distance to first left which is North Torne Valley Road (across from Frank's Auto Body and Design Air). Continue 3/4 mile; Community Center is on left.
