Why this petition matters
Does the Aspen Airport need more, and bigger, private planes like G650s and 737s? The answer is "No."
Right now, the Pitkin County Board of County Commissioners is considering the Airport Layout Plan to expand the runway and taxiway separation at the Aspen Airport to allow bigger planes, like 737s. Citizens Against Bigger Planes believe allowing bigger planes will make Airport’s long-festering challenges in safety, noise, air pollution, and climate-harming emissions worse--not better.
Because of the cost of a half-billion dollars and the long-ranging consequences of this decision, the airport expansion plans to allow for bigger planes the people of Pitkin County DESERVE A VOTE.
There is no better symbol of unbridled growth and cruise-ship tourism than allowing for bigger, louder, and dirtier planes
The expansion and redevelopment of the Aspen Airport will be the most expensive and biggest decision for the future of the Roaring Fork Valley. It will cause massive growth, increased traffic, noise, more pollution and decreased safety.
Say NO to 'modernization.' (The county's word for bigger airplanes at ASE).
Say YES to controlling our own destiny. Pitkin County will not be bullied by the FAA.
Say YES for a BETTER airport terminal - NOT BIGGER - Airport for Pitkin County and Aspen.
Our Airport. Our Vote.
