Closing the airport will be yet another ill thought exerscise. When will the surrounding streets be upgraded to handle the extra thirty some thousand people that will be moving into the area? Perhaps that should be completed FIRST beforw the new construction begins, but living in Edmonton as usual ti will be done backwards. Are there even plans to develop a proper freeway system to handle the traffic. This project is only to benifit developers and to cause hardship for the surrounding area. I suggest it is only greed that will force the airport closure.

Thanks, Mack. I was afraid I was going to have to pull a musty copy of the EJ out of EPL archives to get that info. Viva Internet!

I don’t know if people realize, but before the consolidation to EIA, the air traffic volume out of Edmonton was lower than Winnipeg. It is now solidly higher (but admittedly still a far cry from Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal and Calgary).

The question asked was: “Do you direct City Council to repeal “The Edmonton Municipal Airport referendum bylaw” (No. 10,205)? That bylaw requires the City to operate the Municipal Airport and promote that airport’s air passenger service.”

So a YES vote means scheduled traffic would be moved to the International.

RMW,

Do you actually know what the result of the plebiscite was. No where did it say Edmonton was to close the airport and redevelop the land

Couldn’t agree more. Let’s honor the plebiscite from the ’90′s, move on, and work to make the redevelopment world-class and as forward-thinking as we can. An homage to the Blatchford Field in the design would be a nice touch though.
