New Aircraft Parking Lot at Montreal-Trudeau Airport
Official title: YUL Montreal-Trudeau International Airport - Construction of an aircraft parking lot
Montreal's airport authority wants to pave a 43,750 square metre area to park about 4 large aircraft near the taxiways. The project includes foundations, paving, and a stormwater drainage system.
Why This Matters
Live near the airport? This adds more paved surface that could affect local drainage and runoff. It's also part of how the airport manages growing air traffic.
What Could Change
If approved, nearly 44,000 square metres of airfield will be paved. New stormwater infrastructure will be installed to handle runoff from the expanded surface.
Key Issues
- Should the airport expand its paved surface for aircraft parking?
- How will stormwater runoff from the new pavement be managed?
