Celpip 4- 5 responseNow a days travelling is the main part in everyone’s life. In today’s modern era the airlines are being used mostly. So, i think that airport should be built near the downtown. There are many reasons behind this. First and the main reason is that whenever the visitor’s arrived at the airport there should be an easy transport services over there to go at their destinations. Other than this there are lot of people over there who can help the visitor’s if they need because sometimes the visitor is new and he don’t know about that place. Moreover, if the airport should be built in the downtown area than the visitor’s can visit that place too and they came to know about the history of that particular city. Some of the visitors specially visit to see the different places then it would be the plus point for them because their is no need to travel from the city. In the end i would again like to say that the airport should be built in the downtown area. So, that the city could be explored in the better way.
Celpip 7-8 response Dear City Council, I stand by the option of building the airport away from the downtown core. I believe is more reasonable. Firstly, building properties in the city core is expensive. A gigantic space such as an airport could cost millions of taxpayers’ money. Also, building an airport could reduce the usage of other commercial properties such as shopping centers, schools, or residential buildings. I believe the commercial properties could generate more money and get better usage of the downtown space. Moreover, an airport will produce a lot of noise pollution. It will greatly affect the daily lives of the residences and the efficiency of works for the people work downtown. I work in an office in the financial district downtown, and I can only focus on work with minimal noise. If I can hear planes taking off every ten minutes, my work efficiency will be definitely reduced. Considering the high density of our city core, the space should be used wisely and more efficiently. That’s why I think the new airport should be constructed in a further distance from the downtown area. Regards, Helen

Taking into consideration the shear amount of space required for an airport, and supporting buildings, like parking, food catering centers, airline offices among others, there is not enough space in downtown. Additionally, if the airport is outside the city limit the traffic pattern in the city won’t be impacted, as there can be highway exits built specifically for airport commuters, which will avoid traffic jams for regular commuters. Also, there can be airport parking lots built out, which will be a more economical option for travelers compared to the expensive downtown parking prices. Moreover, an airport in downtown would mean increased noise pollution, since jets landing and taking off is not a quite business. The roar of planes, will be a nuisance for all the residents of downtown apartments. Finally, though flying has become a much safer activity, jumbo jets skidding off runways is still a common occurrence. So taking into consideration public safety and convenience, I strongly recommend constructing the airport well outside the city limits.
