Council Minutes of 2/6/01 Resolution No. 2001-12 was introduced and placed on first reading by Councilman Nashar on behalf of himself and Councilman McKay. A resolution urging the Cleveland Port Authority to take necessary steps to mitigate noise emanating from aircraft taking off at Cleveland Hopkins Airport, and declaring an emergency. Mr. Nashar noted that this resolution was prompted due to the increase in airplane traffic coming over the westerly portion of the city. The planes are getting much larger, and the noise is penetrating homes. He feels that this resolution might be the first step in drawing attention to this situation.
