We in Senator Brownsberger’s office have heard from constituents in Belmont and Watertown regarding an increase in airplane traffic and noise over their homes.
Due to the increase in noise complaints from the affected communities, the Federal Aviation Administration will extend the review period for the Runway 33L departure procedure at Logan. You can access more information about the procedure, including the environmental assessment, here.
