(1) CLOSURE
OF BUTTONVILLE AIRPORT AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL TOWER
Moved by Mayor
Frank Scarpitti
Seconded by
Councillor Alan Ho
WHEREAS,
NAV CANADA announced in November 2018 the closure of the Buttonville Airport
Air Traffic Control Tower, effective January 3, 2019 and will replace it with a
mandatory radio frequency; and,
WHEREAS,
located in Markham and running parallel with Highway 404, one of Ontario’s
busiest highways, Buttonville Airport lies in a built up residential and
business area; and,
WHEREAS,
Buttonville Airport is also located on the busiest north/south and east/west
air route in Canada and on the main approach to two runways at Pearson,
Canada’s largest and busiest airport by aircraft movements. It is approximately
14 nautical miles north of Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport and approximately
16 nautical miles northeast of Toronto Pearson International Airport; and,
WHEREAS,
it was previously understood that there would be a decline in operations and a
full closure of the airport in the coming years, Buttonville Airport will
remain open for at least five more years and this has caused air traffic volume
to increase; and,
WHEREAS,
with an increase of aircraft movement, as well as the existing high amount of
air traffic in the region due to two nearby international airports, it would
pose a safety risk to cease any air traffic control operations at Buttonville
Airport;
THEREFORE
BE IT RESOLVED that the City of Markham deems the closure of the control tower
unacceptable and is concerned with the safety risks posed by a closure of the
air traffic control tower and would have preferred to have been consulted in
the decision by NAV CANADA; and,
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City
of Markham advise The Honourable Marc Garneau, MP, Minister of Transport, that
the City of Markham does not support the closure of the control tower at
Buttonville Airport and asks him to intervene to reverse the decision before
the closure of the control tower on January 3, 2019; and,
BE IT FINALLY
RESOLVED that a copy of this resolution be circulated to The Right Honourable
Justin Trudeau, Prime Minister, as well as local MPs and MPPs.
