El Toro
Like the majority of Orange County residents I know with an informed opinion, I am against a commercial airport at El Toro and any expansion or increased flights out of John Wayne Airport. Worsening John Wayne’s air traffic would negatively impact the airspace over many Orange County communities. Fortunately, Measure F provides safeguards.
The restrictions on John Wayne will be lifted in 2005. Unless their real motive for wanting an El Toro airport is to finally be rid of John Wayne, those truly wishing to prevent its possible expansion should accept in good faith South County’s “olive branch” and support former Newport Beach Mayor Tom Edwards’ proposal before it is too late. Only by working together can we keep our communities from becoming “LAX South”.
