@idewanck Re: London City Airport. It is 5x farther from the downtown than Billy Bishop and serves 1/3 of what JP Morgan wants to crank out of its Billy Bishop terminal. It is 10km east of city of London and handles about 3.6 million passengers.
Ok. This inspired me to get back on X. No. No. No. Reindustrializing the waterfront with blaring, polluting jets taking off every few minutes from our jewel of waterfront less than 2km from CN tower is not a nice thing. It is ludicrous. No other city would even contemplate it. And for business travelers like Tobi and me, how much fun would it be to fly out of Billy Bishop if you had to wait in long lines bottlenecked by 5x the people?
@idewanck I invite you come down to Bathurst and Lakeshore--one of the most chaotic and congested intersections in the city. Now imagine trying to get another 4000 cars per hour down to Billy Bishop at peak times.
@Dongkey_kong Thanks. I got my magnifying glass out and this graphic proves my point: it shows that no other city has an airport closer to downtown than Billy Bishop--hmmm
Doug Ford wants jets on the island. Toronto deserves a vote. @DianneSaxe has a motion to put it on the October ballot โ but councillors need to hear from you now.
