Construction Update • Phases: • A1 – Complete • A3 – Partially Complete • A4 - Complete • A2 – Scheduled for the fall • C – Complete • B – Underway • Will continue until the Fall with impacts
Runway Use Trial • Trial Structure: • The east runway (17L) will be the primary departure runway on odd weekend days (Saturdays – Sundays) when south flow operations are active • The west runway (17R) will be the primary departure runway on even weekend days (Saturdays – Sundays) when south flow operations are active • Update: • Implementation has been impacted by wind direction, construction, and other operational constraints • Will continue to run the trial until September 2019
Permanent NMT Installations New permanent Noise Monitoring Terminals were installed in May: One location received an equipment upgrade: • Renfrew (1212 Jamieson Ave. NE) • Marlborough (3945 Marbank Dr. NE) • Rundle (155 Rundlehill Dr. NE) • Country Hills (120 Country Hills LD NW) • Albert Park–Radisson Heights (1459 Robson Cresc. SE) We now have “LIVE” data on PublicVue for all new NMTs
New Noise Monitoring Activities Signal Hill – Permanent NMT • Three possible locations have been identified • Based on the locations of most noise concerns in the area, and likelihood of permitting • Next steps: • Discuss locations with Community Association and ACCC Reps • Deploy temporary noise monitoring van early next week to test locations • Consult with the City of Calgary on permitting Roving NMT Program First locations for noise monitoring van will be in Signal Hill Other communities?
