This process is a joke! All the time spent between the Mayor/City Council/RIAC & with a Sept. 1 deadline for the Winslow Park field relocation decision-when the agreement was signed a preferred site(s) should have been established(it's obvious CCRI can't accomodate ALL the fields needed). Based on this City's track record regarding the Airport, it appears the default Airport property location will be used.

As far as the Airport projects themselves, I agree with Richard Langseth, poor planning regarding financing & logistics for completion of the 2 phases. I was always led to believe the safety improvements would be completed prior to the longer runway expansion(with only 2 runways how can they work on one & still use it;they would be limited to the remaining runway). With a 2015 FAA deadline for the safety improvements, I see RIAC just making it(unless they apply for some type of completion extension). And with RI DOT's track record on road construction projects, I can foresee a completion delay resulting in a delay in RIAC's hoped for runway expansion completion. That wouldn't even consider any financing problems; I can see FAA funding somewhat lower than the entire 75 % assistance meaning RI taxpayers accountable for the shortfall(user fees/RI GA bonding, etc.)

All these meetings & all this time & it looks like these projects are being run by the Three Stooges.
