The city of College Park is informing its citizens residing in Clayton and Fulton counties about a airport noise referendum listed on the Nov. 8 election ballot:
Should Congress direct the Federal Aviation Administration to develop a new noise exposure measure that accurately gauges the increased annoyance caused by changes to flight patterns being introduced nationally, and authorize federal funding for new noise insulation for residences measured to be significantly impacted, regardless of whether those residences were previously insulated for aircraft noise?
The new system being implemented at Hartsfield Airport is replacing the radar based air traffic system with a satellite-based system. This system may contribute to increased noise pollution in the College Park area.
