Council recommends suspending pursuit of new airport terminal

The City Council decided in closed session meetings to recom- mend

that the Burbank-Glen- dale-Pasadena Airport retain land for a new

terminal until a decision is reached about a noise curfew.

“The city needs to know whether we can get a curfew in order to

decide whether it can support a new terminal or not,” Mayor David

Laurell said at Tuesday’s City Council meeting.

At a Feb. 26 meeting, Federal Aviation Administration

Administrator Marion Blakey asked local officials to reach a decision

about a replacement terminal in 60 days.

The council will resume discussion about the airport at their

meeting next week.
