Upcoming hearings on SFO runway plan

[mmoss]

A series of public hearings relevant to SFO are beginning! Over the next few months, you will have several opportunities to tell public officials what you think about SFO’s runway reconfiguration plans.

Please join the public forum on Thursday, February 1 when BCDC’s staff and consultants brief the Commission on the status of SFO’s Runway Reconfiguration Project. SFO, the Federal Aviation Agency and the public will have an opportunity to comment after the briefing. The public meeting is at 1 p.m., San Francisco State University, 425 Market Street, Second Floor, Rooms 8 and 9. Entrance is on Fremont Street - by the Embarcadero BART station. (415) 405-3556.

The next SFO-related hearing is on February 5 when the California High Speed Rail Authority kicks off a series of hearings about implementing high-speed rail in California. This is a viable alternative to filling in the Bay to relieve air traffic congestion. Please check Save The Bay website (www.savesfbay.org) for more information about these hearings, or contact with any questions. (510) 452-9261.

Thank you for helping protect our Bay.
