Interesting piece about how the noise complaints changed over the years. And a possible solution to reduce the impact.

From the Logan Aircraft Noise working group email list:

Members of Logan Aircraft-Noise Working Group are invited to attend the quarterly meeting of Boston West Fair Skies (BWFS) advocacy group at Medford Public Library on Wednesday, January 24, from 7-9 pm.

 
Featured speaker at the meeting will be Myron Kassaraba, Belmont's representative on the Massport Community Advisory Committee and a founder of the Logan Airport Runway 33L Municipal Working Group, focused on mitigating the impact of airplane noise over Arlington, Cambridge, Malden, Medford, Somerville, Watertown, and other nearby communities.
 
 
Medford's MIT Noise Study organizers Peter Houk and Luke Preisner are expected to attend this meeting in January, along with city and state officials from around the area. Given the increased concentration of aircraft flights over our communities during the past year, members of our group are encouraged to attend this meeting and participate in the discussion.
 
 
Stay tuned for more information...

The TEKKK Waypoint that leads aircraft over SomervilleI attended that semi-impromptu meeting in Medford the other night, that I heard about at the last minute. Since it was at the bottom of Main St it was easy for me to get to. It ran from about 7-9:30pm, and about 80 people turned up for this. They mad.

Presented by a couple of Medford volunteers who have been monitoring airplane noise for a long time, it was a very helpful overview of the issues and an attempt to drum up support for some actions we need to take. They had done the presentation earlier this summer and the summary of that can be found on the city of Medford's website here: Aircraft Noise Update, June 7, 2017.

I'm going to relay what I gathered from this meeting. Note that aviation is not my field, and some details may be flawed. It will be a little long, so I'm going to put the rest below the cut for the ease of reading on mobile. Click the "more" for the rest of the details.
