Exactly what do you have an issue with? You don’t like the idea of designing green spaces into urban environments such as an airport? You don’t like the idea that the nearby park stabilizes temperatures, or just more trolling? Let me look at your history of comments... Oh right trolling, well...

Welcome to the Dog days of summer! Toronto’s hottest month of the year is August, and this year could be a record breaker. Pilots worrying about density altitude and safety can hopefully soon look forward to the smart design and heat island reducing location of the new Pickering airport...

Oh come on, that one is easy! Accept an all private money proposal instead of doing a P3 RFP and let’s get going! As a tax payer, the billions in revenue, and hundreds of millions a year in tax generated by employers, ticket sales and income tax would be a great return on our billion dollar...

HFR ( high frequency Rail) is not direct competition , airports and rail support each other nicely if properly designed. But an airport is much cheaper to build and can be run at a profit. Considering HSR ( high speed rail) as an long distance alternative just doesn’t work. A high speed rail...

Again, it’s all hands on deck. We need all existing airports and Pickering, and we are still going to get squeezed at some point. If you had to drive two hours to get a flight, then two hours home after a long day, trust me, you would get it. When you have to explain to your grand children why...

Again, it’s not a competition, both airports are needed.

You are entitled to your viewpoint, I prefer facts. The inconvenience truth is that the KPMG report will be the launch point for the Pickering airport. That is why they are withholding it until the ducks are lined up Politically. So before or after the October election? My bet is after Spring...

I believe I have answered this before, but just to be clear: - it’s not a choice, we need both airports completely built out ASAP to avoid the coming economic face plant and to improve the efficiency of our transportation system ( see climate crisis). Private capital is available and interested...

The idea that Pickering was not the best site is a myth promoted by those who oppose the airport. It has resurfaced over the years but was first started by the misunderstanding of the original site selection process that took place over several years and the Guelph sites role. I have cut a...

Starting in 2021, it is going to have a lot of construction vehicle traffic, so it’s a blessing in disguise for the airport during construction, and for the travel who would like to cut commutes one of the reasons why DCs passengers traffic is evenly dispersed among three separate airports (...

Starting in 2021, it is going to have a lot of construction vehicle traffic, so it’s a blessing in disguise. It’s my understanding that A non toll north south road is also in plan... but I don’t details off hand.

It appears that you may have confused the 30 km geography radius with drive distances and times. Two separate issues. Taking the new off ramp currently being built on the 407 as the airports point of access, and assuming the use of the 407 ( over other slower routes) you will find the drive...

Here is a better look at the tryanny of geography. For passenger catchment areas the use the stats Canada database and derived info.. Here is what a 30km passenger area looks like.

70 million passengers split roughly between three jet airports servicing a population base just a bit bigger than Toronto. Twice as many simultaneously usable jet runways( that’s 5,000 ft or longer) and double the airside capacity. Even with Pickering we fall short. Just look at the size of...

Bait and switch now? Regans relationship with Dulles is a good example of the volume and type of traffic the Pickering airport will be doing in it’s relationship with Pearson. Washington is about the same population as the GTA. One big difference, Washington has a lot better weather and more...

Seriously? Come on guys you have the sum total of human knowledge at your finger tips , google it. Some aviation experts you two turn out to be. 23 million pax last year. Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (IATA: DCA, ICAO: KDCA, FAA LID: DCA )

Like I said, follow thier routes, take Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport as just one of many examples.

What do you think Southwest Airlines has been doing all these years? Checkout their routes: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Southwest_Airlines_destinations

It is a highway, a 2Km long highway that can take the 2.3 million people of the Easter GTA anywhere they want to go without having to drive for two hours. Pearson is the Hub ( or should be if it is allowed to balance its traffic load properly). Pickering is point to point, it is not envisioned...

Last call.. I will type fast: Think of it like this, there are two towns, a big one called D and one a third of the size called H. By royal decree there is only one Beer store, and it is in H, the smaller town. To get beer people from D have to travel for two hours in each direction. This is...
