Berkeley officials celebrated Wednesday night after a Federal Aviation Administration official announced at a public meeting about Oakland and San Francisco airport noise that the FAA is shelving plans to change flight patterns that would have directed airplanes into the city’s flattest, most diverse neighborhoods.
Raquel Girvin, a Regional Administrator for the FAA, told attendees during a Zoom meeting, “Ultimately, we were able to find a safety solution that does not involve changing the current routes.” She declined to elaborate.
