Truckee airport noise, tower to be discussed

Truckee Tahoe Airport District officials will be conducting six meetings starting next week in order to share updates on airport operations, impacts on each neighborhood, and plans to address those impacts.

Topics will include the recently completed Airspace Study, plans for a temporary seasonal air traffic control tower, neighborhood-specific issues, and general information about the airport.

The seasonal, temporary air traffic control tower, planned for summer 2017, would give the district more control over approaching and departing aircraft, directing them to paths that could also improve safety and noise impacts.

All meetings will start at 6pm and last about one hour.

The meetings are:

• July 18: Tahoe City Public Utility District Board Room, 211 Fairway Drive, Tahoe City
• July 19: Hampton Inn, 11951 Highway 267, Truckee
• July 20: Lodge Restaurant & Pub, 12850 Northwood Blvd., Truckee
• Aug. 1: Community Recreation Center, 8924 Donner Pass Road, Truckee
• Aug. 2: Community Recreation Center, 8924 Donner Pass Road, Truckee
•  Aug. 3: Glenshire Clubhouse, 15726 Glenshire Drive, Truckee.
