Airplane Noise Letter to the Community,
from
Mount Vernon Supervisor Dan Storck
|
|
Dear Resident,
For well over a year now, the citizens of the Mount Vernon District have come to me with serious concerns about the impact of increased air traffic and noise over our neighborhoods. As a resident of Riverside Gardens, I have also experienced the noise firsthand. As you may know, more than 300 of our residents attended a heated meeting with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) at Reagan National Airport (DCA) in June 2016. At that meeting, the FAA said they would provide more information and an update in 12-18 months. Since that meeting, air traffic has only gotten worse.
The Washington Post published an article on April 2, stating that 23.6 million passengers traveled through National Airport in 2016, and the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority (MWAA) expects there to be more "growth" at National in 2017. This further emphasizes the fact that air traffic will only continue to get worse over our Mount Vernon neighborhoods.
