My main concerns with the expansion of the airport are the increase in air traffic, as aircraft frequently fly directly over my property and an increased frequency would have a significant impact. Secondly, I am concerned about the increase in traffic on already busy roads. Recent residential developments in the area have already led to much greater traffic volume and extended my commute due to busier roads. Without significantly increased road capacity, doubling the airport capacity will add to the traffic volume further. I am further concerned about the increase in pollution, both from traffic, and aeroplanes, something we should definitely be minimizing, particularly in light of emissions and global climate change.
