Losing this historic airport would be a huge loss for the city.

]]> Sat, 19 Feb 2022 06:25:37 UTC 24221845 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/23374188?utm_medium=rss Please re-open the control tower as safety around this airport is already compromised due to the close proximity to residential areas, highway and Pearson Airport. I think NAV Canada made a big mistake to close the tower!

An airplane crashed into an industrial building just south of the airport. Please do not allow history to repeat itself.

]]> Sat, 19 Jan 2019 12:03:06 UTC 22706412 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/22680600?utm_medium=rss This is very irresponsible of the ministry of transport to turn a blind eye to this huge safety hazard that concerns not only residents of Markham but all citizens as a while. To say they will tackle this when issie arises is equivalent to gambling with people’s lives and claiming they will deal with it when something happens is extremely irresponsible and naive.

An unguided airplane poses danger to both the people in the air and on the ground.

Buttonville is located right beside a North/South 400 series highway, and just a few kms from a second 400 series highway running East/West. This is a major safety concern for both those in the air and those on the ground.. Seeing that we are less than a year away from a federal election, that, should there be a serious aircraft accident between January 2019 and election day, that the voters will no doubt hold the current government accountable for their poor decision making (Not to mention the other stupid things that Trudope has done since taking office).

Me and my family, as well as neighbours and friends etc living in Markham are extremely worried and CONCERNED about our future safety.

]]> Tue, 18 Dec 2018 09:15:00 UTC 22659941 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/22659848?utm_medium=rss It introduces risk to people using the airport and the neghibourhood.

While I fully accept that the original plan was to close the airfield by Fall 2018 so it would have made sense to close the tower after that time, the fact that the closure has been delayed by 5 years means this irresponsible decision should be reversed immediately. There are lives at stake here, please understand that things change - and an airfield as busy as this MUST have a control tower. To even begin to imagine otherwise is recklessly irresponsible.

]]> Mon, 3 Dec 2018 08:36:30 UTC 22638052 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/22637950?utm_medium=rss I do not want this airport to close down and in its place a large urban development. C.F redevelopment of the site will create an increase volume of traffic on an already busy street. Furthermore, a development of this size and scale is not feasbile, nor of sound urban practices if located on this site for the simple fact that the current infrastructure will not be able to support the demands of the site.
