Progress on Airport Park Expansion & Runway Shortening

Posted on November 27, 2017November 27, 2017 by Taylor

Santa Monica is moving forward with two positive projects which should improve the quality of life for many residents.

1. The City is currently shortening the Airport runway by 1500′ so that it will become safety compliant and to exclude larger jets. This runway shortening project might also provide the opportunity for additional new park access space at the ends of the runway.

SMO is now closed to all air traffic from 9pm-7am and will close ENTIRELY for two weeks at the end of the year until the runway shortening project is completed.

2. The 12 acres of the Airport Park Expansion currently being designed by noted park designer Mark Rios, has moved forward to the important Environmental Impact Report stage. The park design will include full size playing fields, pickle ball courts, community gardens, playgrounds, walking paths and will provide much needed new recreational resources and opportunities for our community.

The Environmental Impact Report is now available for you to review:
