Officials ask FAA to move flight path back over Scotts Valley and SLV

The Select Committee on South Bay Arrivals, a body of 12 elected officials convened by Congress members Anna Eshoo, Sam Farr and Jackie Speier to address jet noise, voted 8-4 on Nov. 17 to shift the flight path to SFO from Happy Valley and Los Gatos a few miles west, to fly over the San Lorenzo Valley, Bonny Doon and the cities of Scotts Valley, and Santa Cruz.
Fifth District Supervisor Bruce McPherson voted against the move, calling it “extremely disappointing.”
