RAISE YOUR VOICE AT THE
VIRTUAL BUR COMMISSION MEETING
MONDAY, JULY 19, 2021, 9:00AM
NOISE WILL BE ON THE AGENDA AND WE NEED YOU TO CALL IN! The more people they hear from the better!
SOME NEW COMMISSIONERS have been appointed that don't know our story and need to hear from ALL of us!
HOW TO ATTEND THE MEETING: Call in at 9:00am to (818) 862-3332 to speak at the meeting.
TIME PER PERSON: 1-3 minutes. If a lot of people call in then we will only have one minute each. Put your important points in the beginning of your prepared remarks. They will cut the mic at the end of your allotted time.
NOT SURE WHAT TO SAY? HERE ARE SOME SUGGESTIONS TO CHOOSE FROM:
-- To the NEW Commissioners – you should know that this battle has been going on for MORE THAN FOUR YEARS and Burbank Airport has ignored us. Your neighbors in Los Angeles who never or rarely had any flight traffic prior to the “southern shift” are now getting nearly 100% of all departures, as well as increasing simultaneous arrivals. What has been gently called the southern “shift” was actually more of a “movement” of 2½ miles to the south. This has gone on for far too long and people are suffering.
-- Tell the Commissioners your own personal story -- how you and your family are suffering. Elaborate on the pain and harm you’ve endured, both mental and physical. Include ruining your quality of life and mental well-being, breaking up families, disrupting your children’s studies, disrupting your ability to work from home, etc. Also include physical ailments such as asthma, other lung disease, heart issues, low birth weights, etc.
-- VNY is working on a fix with the FAA and leaving BUR behind. Step up and meet with LAWA and the FAA. Make sure BUR is involved in a solution that protects Ventura Boulevard and the foothills in Studio City and Sherman Oaks.
-- In the last few weeks altitudes have decreased by 1,000 feet over the Studio City foothills and hillsides! These large jets are now only 2000 feet Above Ground Level. Why are you “holding down” the jets so low? Is this because of the new VNY fix so that VNY aircraft can be sufficiently separated from BUR traffic? BUR needs to work with the FAA and LAWA to stop this!
-- BUR impacts have increased with many more large jets. Budget airline, Avelo, is wreaking havoc with 11 flights per day. Now BUR is about to become an International Airport with the addition of another budget airline, Flair, coming soon with international flights on huge 737 Max 8 jets. We are suffering the consequences of all of this unfettered growth while you continue to make money. Enough is enough!
-- The Task Force convened TWO YEARS AGO and you have done nothing to help solve this issue. You have focused solely on growth, to the detriment of the community that surrounds you. Even your neighbors in Burbank want the flight path changed back to the historic path. It's not too late to be a good neighbor. Start now!
