[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s weird to me that the palisades and surrounding neighborhoods have never mentioned Anacostia and Southern PG as similarly affected, even though the flight pattern often has low flying planes in that direction.

So weird they don’t seem to care about these communities.  I wonder why that is…[/quote]
Just reading this thread and the comments from 2023. What an excellent point and how very relevant right now. 
Probably part of the reason is that PG county government seems to be asleep at the wheel so others feel they don't have to care either. Pg county residents deserve better.[/quote]

Yes. When Vianair did the community survey the smallest number of respondents came from Accokeek! I am sure they did not realize how important it was because there was probably no proper outreach by the county. It is sad.

I have not seen any information about the community meetings yet but the plan is to have everything finalized and sent to the FAA by mid march. We may witnessing the fastest public process ever. [/quote]

Just like in the case of PG County there was not much outreach in Fairfax County so it appears that most of the respondents to the survey came from Alexandria. Very few responses were submitted from Fairfax including Mount Vernon and from PG Co including Accokeek. It is here:

"Jim Allerdice provides updates on the progress of the survey and upcoming public meetings, mentions that Alexandria is the only jurisdiction that has pushed
information out so far."

The consultant appears to want to do everything correctly which is good, but I would not trust anybody on that Working Group knowing what I know about how all the changes were handled by Montgomery County. Perhaps others on the Working Group were not directly responsible but they acted as enablers at the very least.

I don't think any FAA employee who wants to keep their job will take this on right now so perhaps nothing will be happening for a while. If anybody has any additional info they should let us know. [/quote]
