SHOULD A LAME-DUCK MAYOR SPEAK FOR THE CITY OF TUCSON ON THE EXPANSION OF DAVIS-MONTHAN’S OPERATION SNOWBIRD?

The Environmental Assessment of Operation Snowbird presents four unreasonable alternatives for a military air facility located in a densely-populated urban area.

There will be two public scoping meetings where you can submit comments:

Tuesday, Sept. 27th, 5:30 p.m.-8:00 p.m.
Sheraton Four Points Hotel
1900 E. Speedway near Campbell

Wednesday, Sept. 28th, 5:30 p.m.-8:00 p.m.
Empire High School
101701 E. Mary Ann Cleveland Way

It is interesting that the area to northwest of the base and the area to southeast of the base are being given equal time when there are 4Xs as many residences in the high-accident potential, high-noise zone in the area to northwest of the base. Traffic count is about equal in both areas, but most accidents occur upon landing which usually occurs in the area to northwest of Davis-Monthan.

The deadline for your written comments is October 28, 2011
