Noisy Nights On Westshore
December 19th, 2007 categories: Tampa Real Estate, South Tampa, Westshore, South Tampa Neighborhoods
If you live on the far west side of the Interbay Peninsula, as I do, with no doubt you’ve noticed the increase in larger aircraft using the east runway at TIA. I’ve noticed that around 11:30pm for the last few nights, there is a steady flow of noisy air traffic for about an hour or so.
The larger aircraft typically use runway 36L that brings them in over the bay instead of right over Westshore Blvd as runway 36R does. But since there are some rather large cranes just south of the airport that begin construction work at 11pm, 36R will be getting more nighttime use.
The construction is tied to the Tampa Airport Interchange Project, the mess near Spruce and the expressway. Here’s the disturbing news: “Based on the FDOT’s construction schedule, this situation will have to occur over the next 3 years.”
TIA, in its efforts to keep area residents notified, has created a Community Noise Impact Notifications page on its website so that we can know when to go to bed with the earplugs in place. You can even sign up for e-mail notifications. Comforting, is it not? Check it out: Tampa International Airport noise impact.
But in TIA’s defense we have one of the best airports in the world. I grew up in New Orleans, and the airport formerly known as Moisant, is much the same as it was in the 1970’s, awful. But I still look forward to the bumpy landing there in anticipation of grabbing a beignet and a Daquiri. And at least TIA is being pro-active and doing something to keep residents in the know. The new interchange will hopefully improve what is currently a clusterf…, if you know what I mean.
