2 The Canadian Statesman. Bowmanvillc. January 25,1989 -- nr i> o. » _ Mayor Congratulates New'Creations'Shop Oumer AlTPOFt PoSSlblc Tap Dance Company Performs for Students Durham Regional Chairman Gary Herrema predicts that planes will be flying in and out of a new Pickering airport by the year 2000. He made the comments Friday on a Toronto radio station talk show. As air traffic woes continue to multiply multiply at Pearson International Airport in Toronto, there are increasing calls for an airport in Pickering. Recent reports havé suggested that the federal government is seriously considering resurrecting the idea -- one which Pickering residents thought they had quashed for good in the mid-1970s. In 1972 the Trudeau government expropriated nearly 20,000 hectares of farmland in Pickering in order to construct a second airport to service the needs of the greater Toronto area. But a massive local effort against the proposal killed the plan by 1975. Since then the government has been selling off some of the land although although it still holds the vast majority of it. People or Planes (POP) Chairman Chairman Dr. Charles Godfrey pledged that his group again would fight against a Pickering airport. He added added that, "with the heightened environmental environmental awareness today it will be even easier to defeat the plan." Mr. Herrema said on Monday, however, that local concerns will not stand in the way of the airport which he said is needed very badly. He stressed the boom it would bring to the Pickering area, creating jobs and enhancing enhancing tax revenues for the town and the region. Early in 1988 Durham Regional Council gave its support for construction construction of an airport on the Pickering site, specifying that it was to be for "general aviation." Caught in a delicate situation is Ontario Riding Tory MP Rene Soe- tens who may be forced to choose between between local opposition to the airport and official government policy. Earlier Earlier this week he suggested some possible possible compromise solutions. According to Mr. Soetens, alternatives alternatives to the Pickering plan include the use of existing airports surrounding Toronto, primarily Hamilton's under-utilized under-utilized facility but including the Toronto Island airport and even Oshawa. He also suggested the addition of a fourth runway at Pearson or round- the-clock flight schedules at the busy Toronto airport. Expansion of runways runways or schedules at Pearson, however, however, is sure to ignite howls of protest from Toronto residents who already complain about noise and congestion in Malton. In the coming months Transport Canada and the federal government will consider their options and decide on a solution to the growing problem.
