Please join us! All are welcome!
Boston West Fair Skies (BWFS) will hold a meeting Thursday May 23rd in Belmont.
BWFS works towards redistributing airplane noise more fairly among our communities.
Thursday May 23
7:00 to 9:00. p.m
Belmont Public Library
Assembly Room
336 Concord Ave, Belmont
We are a citizens grassroots organization which includes Arlington, Belmont, Cambridge, Medford, Somerville, Watertown and Winchester – all communities affected by the increased airplane noise due to the implementation of 33L RNAV (using GPS) departures at Boston Logan Airport. The meeting location rotates to different towns.
BWFS is fighting for a more equitable distribution of airplane noise. Since our creation in 2013 we have effectively advocated with officials at state and national level, and also with Massport and the FAA. As a result of our advocacy Boston Logan Airport’s 33L RNAV was selected by the FAA to have RNAV departure procedures re-evaluated, first such case in the country. An MIT team is working on this complex project as we speak.
Everyone affected by the increased airplane noise is strongly encouraged to join the fight, and to keep up the pressure and to advocate for the implementation of the MIT’s Block 2 findings when they become available.
We hope to see you there!
Kathryn Klosky Howlett
Communications Chair
