We love our neighborhoods.

Van Nuys and its surrounding neighborhoods were established years before Van Nuys Airport was founded.

Van Nuys Airport is now the busiest general aviation airport in the world! We can no longer comfortably relax in our own backyards. It is completely inappropriate to continue to develop it into a major airport in the middle of our densely populated residential neighborhoods, where tens of thousands of people live, work, and recreate.

Van Nuys Airport has become an increasingly noisy and inconsiderate neighbor, especially since the introduction of jet aircraft in the 1990's. Quiet and considerate operations appropriate to our residential quality of life must be put in place and enforced.

Santa Monica Airport is scheduled to close. We do not want to have its aircraft, and the resulting additional air traffic, at Van Nuys Airport.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.
