Napa residents press city for action on low-flying jets, urge representation on airport advisory body
Summary
Multiple Napa residents told the City of Napa during its State of the City event that a recent change in flight paths is disrupting schools, workplaces and neighborhoods; callers urged the council to press county supervisors, secure city representation on the airport noise group and increase transparency around studies.
Hundreds of residents filled the Las Flores Community Center to hear the City of Napa's State of the City and to share concerns during the public-comment period, where a string of speakers pleaded with council members to act on new low-altitude flight paths and louder jets over Napa.
"I'm here tonight to ... thank you for the letter you sent to our county supervisors supporting the effort to get an alternative flight path to save us from this loud jet noise and pollution," Lee Nordland, a resident of Oxbow, told the council. Nordland asked the council to put the issue on future dockets and to back a city representative on the airport noise study group.
