If our downtown were just employment space, having a full-fledged international airport would be an excellent use of the land at the island airport. But since our downtown is now as much a place to live as a place to work, having a busy airport at one of the most unique and important amenities for residents--the waterfront--makes little sense. The redevelopment of the airport into parkland would merit an international design competition for landscaping--one that might include the rest of the islands as well. It would be one of the greatest urban parks in the world.
