I fly Kenmore and I live on Lake Union. I think dedicating space for them is not in line with the hometown airline that they used to be. This should at least be reviewed by all affected.

As a weekly boater on Lake Union nearly all year long, this is a terrible idea. The seaplanes are already too prevalent, loud and polluters. This is a classic case of a business benefiting by taking away access to natural resources.

I live on Lake Union and do not support Kenmore Airs proposal. Lake Union is for everyone- we sure do not need Kenmore Air to take it away from everyone’s use.

I'm not opposed to Kenmore Air flying from Lake Union but am opposed to adding more flights. I don't approve of plans for a dedicated runway bisecting the lake.

There is already too much noise pollution from the planes now! I’d like to see the city stop Kenmore Air from using Lake Union altogether. Way too noisy!!!

This is a despicable company. They have ruined my life. Since May of 2018, they have been flying planes directly over my house. I can see the bottom of the planes. Several times a day to Victoria and Vancouver. There was no notice. The City just let them do it.

Thank you for letting the boater community know about this. Have they set a secret time?

Please do not do this to our city. It would be such a mistake. We need to have our priorities straight...

The noise level has already increased substantially since they started the experiment with The runway. I also agree that this would benefit Kenmore air and harbor air and corporate interests and not the general public which the city keeps claiming they want to open up for the public

Lake Union is already too busy and having more sea planes will be a disturbance to all of us living around the Lake.

No to Lake Union Air proposal. The lake belongs to the citizens and is for public use not their dedicated runway.

Kenmore Air planes are disastrous accidents waiting to happen. Increasing flights will only increase that danger. The City of Seattle would be negligent and idiotic to allow an increase of flights. The Lake should be used by all - not limited by some. Shame on the City for even considering the expansion!

Prioritizing one company over the dozens around lake union is a sure fire way to destroy the companies around the lake. This would be a short-sighted move that has minimal long-term benefit for the public.

This would completely devalue Lake Union as one of Seattle’s amazing landmarks. If Kenmore Air needs more space for flights, they should find land outside the city. This is the same as putting a airfield in the middle of central park.

This is despicable, that's the entire center of the lake. The lake belongs to the city and the people of the city, and I will do anything I can to not only keep this public resource from being a private nightmare, but to end the public tenure of any official so hopelessly corrupt that they could entertain the idea of this for even a moment.

Lake union is the greatest jewel in the Crown of what we used to call the Queen City. This jewel is for the enrichment and enjoyment of everyone, not just that small minority that fly in and out.

I live a few blocks from Lake Union and regularly row on the lake. I am concerned about both the noise impacts and the toxic lead pollution. Please do not increase the flights allowed on this beautiful lake!
