Today’s Billy Bishop post: this argument from Holyday is risible. The negative impacts of airports concentrate with proximity. The population near Billy Bishop is far greater and is planned to grow dramatically. YYZ’s periphery is industrial parks. YTZ: v dense neighborhoods and Toronto’s #1 park.

Councillor Holyday uses his laptop to show off the operating area for Pearson compared to the island airport area. He argues that the island airport's area is mostly over the water. His point, I think, is that he believes expanding the island airport would affect fewer people than expanding Pearson.

He's a deliberate idiot.

It’s clear that Pearson and its surrounding area were designed over the past 60+ years to accommodate a large modern airport with jets and the Island Airport simply was not intended for that and is much nearer to homes. Here are both facilities and their neighbourhoods at the same scale:

Moving all of Billy Bishop’s 2025 traffic (1.75m passengers) to Pearson would increase its 47.3m 2025 passengers by 3.7%. Adding 10m passengers to Pearson would still only increase traffic by 21%. Meanwhile the Ford plan was to increase Billy Bishop’s passengers by 571% over 2025 numbers.

Let's make the whole Pearson experience so much better instead, and not just something one must endure. Make getting there way better, downtown luggage check-in/pick-up (like in HK !), transit hub tie in w Alto.

it annoying we have to put up with him

He’s just so stupid.

Adding to say: no family ever gathered up a cooler, blanket, frisbee, granny and gramps and the dog and said: "Let's go for a family picnic on a median strip out by Pearson airport." This is the angle that fools with cottages like Holyday and Ford will never understand.

There actually is a nice bike ride on Etobicoke Creek trail to the west of the airport believe it or not.

has the guy never driven by Pearson and seen how much of a dead zone is not only required, but is done by choice because literally no one wants to live near an airport?
