Rosendahl Files Motion for New Safety Study Sans Capacity Enhancements
Rosendahl announced that he filed a motion with in the Los Angeles City Council that requests that the Board of Airport Commissioners (BOAC) conduct a new comprehensive and objective study and analysis of north airfield safety issues that is limited to safety issues, and not consider issues such as operational efficiency or capacity enhancement, which are not genuine safety concerns.
Recent LAWA studies were criticized for implying that the current run way configuration was unsafe but in fact the results were obtained under an entirely different scenarios where a large percentage the flights on the south airfield would be moved to the north airfield, a process described as “load balancing and capacity enhancements”.
The motion also requests BOAC to form a North Runway Safety Advisory Committee consisting of representatives from the following entities: Council District 11; Council District 8; Los Angeles County; the City of Inglewood; the Alliance for a Regional Solution to Airport Congestion; the Neighborhood Council of Westchester-Playa del Rey; airport area congressional representatives; the greater Los Angeles business community; and the Airline Airport Affairs Committee.
