$125-Million Insulation Plan for Airport Area
From Times Wire Reports
Residents of a low-income neighborhood finally may get a break from the noisy planes at nearby San Jose International Airport.
The City Council is expected today to approve a plan to spend roughly $125 million to insulate more than 2,000 homes in a neighborhood where residents consistently complain of disrupted conversations and lost sleep.
The plan is being hailed by some as a long-needed step toward improving airport relations with nearby residents. Other neighbors say it doesn’t go far enough.
