Neighbors-
I commend the many residents of the 13th Ward who worked hard to have their voices heard. Your overwhelming response to this issue was heard and had an impact!
At their meeting this afternoon, the Metropolitan Airports Commission voted to delay implementation of Performance-Based Navigation Procedures/Area Navigation (RNAV) to allow time for further evaluation and public comment on flight paths over Southwest Minneapolis, Edina and Richfield. The MAC endorsed using the new technology from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) only where it would reduce airplane noise over Eagan, Mendota Heights and other suburbs.
Thank you for contacting me and the many officials who worked to delay this change in order to understand its impact on the residents of Minneapolis.
I will continue to stay on top of this issue and will share updates as the implications of the delay unfold.
