Airport expansion plans in the Bay Area, including those for Palo Alto Airport, threaten the surrounding environment and exacerbate air pollution, particularly affecting marginalized communities.
The Palo Alto City Council's swift response to community opposition against airport expansion reflects the growing awareness of the harmful impacts of aviation emissions on local climate.
Proposed expansions at Palo Alto Airport could irreversibly damage the nearby Baylands preserve, increase noise pollution, and disproportionately impact areas already suffering from aviation-related pollution.
The recent debates around airport expansion in both Palo Alto and Oakland highlight the urgent need for addressing aviation-related climate issues before any further developments.
