Paine Field Manager to brief City Council on commercial flight proposal

Paine Field Airport Manager Dave Waggoner will brief the Lake Forest Park City Council about the proposal for commercial flights in an out of Paine Field in Everett. at its meeting on Thursday, May 9 at 7pm in the City Hall Council Chambers. 

The public is welcome to attend and observe.

The proposal before the FAA is to allow commercial flights in and out of Paine Field. The City Council is interested in learning more about this and how it might impact safety and quality of life in Lake Forest Park.

Citizen concerns are that the flight path would often be directly over Lake Forest Park.

A letter opposing the proposal was sent to a large number of residents by a citizen who used the Mayor's name in the signature bar.

However, neither the Mayor nor the City Council have taken a position on this proposal. They are currently in a fact finding process. No communications have been issued by either the Mayor or City Council.
