Staying CLASSY?

I read Eve Pearlman's post about helicopters over the Isle during wee morning hours. They bug the crap out of me too.

Eve seems to feel that we're at the mercy of the local TV stations for "Eagle Eye" coverage 24/7.

There is an Oakland Airport noise hotline at 510-577-4194.

There is also something called the Citizens League for Airport Safety and Serenity (CLASS). Established in 1989, CLASS was formed by Bay Farm Island residents to closely monitor the activities of the Oakland Airport and assess its impact on the local community. Ultimately, this monitoring led to the filing of a lawsuit against the Port of Oakland resulting in a settlement agreement which gives CLASS and the City of Alameda direct input on airport planning and more open communication on issues which could affect the airport’s neighbors.

Love them or hate them, they seem to be an effective watchdog group. Contact CLASS with your noise concerns at (510) 433-7949.
