Massive distribution centre proposed for Victoria airport concerns Sidney residents

A sprawling new warehouse and distribution centre, covering more than seven acres of the Victoria airport’s industrial lands, is in the development stages, prompting concern among residents and council in nearby Sidney.

Huge distribution centre proposed for Victoria airport lands

Sidney council reviewed York’s plans on Monday and voted to ask staff to look at issues such as traffic and potential impact on the 100-plus homes in the adjacent Galaran Road neighbourhood. Council members are also hoping to hear feedback from Sidney residents. The report is due at council on May 10, one day prior to a May 11 deadline to weigh in with the Victoria Airport Authority, which manages the airport. Although the industrial site is within Sidney’s boundaries, the town does not have approval rights over the ­development. That’s up to the airport authority because the land is federal.

A Newly Built Taxiway In Canada Is Now Unusable – Here s Why

While it largely holds a domestic focus, limited international flights to and from Mexico and the US also serve it. Last year, it opened a new taxiway, in a move that it hoped would make airport operations more efficient, but this has remained unusable due to being in a blind spot for ATC.

It measures 366 meters long and is situated at the eastern end of runway 09/27. This asphalt-paved runway is the longest landing strip at Victoria, measuring 2,133 meters long. The extension reached completion last year.

New Victoria airport taxi-way unusable due to blind spot

  VICTORIA A new taxi-way completed as part of the Victoria International Airport’s terminal expansion is not in use because it can’t be seen from the airport’s control tower. The $4.3 million project expanded the taxi-way on the east side of the airport by approximately 366 meters and was completed in 2020. It is intended to improve safety for aircraft by eliminating access points close to runways during take-off. Victoria Airport Authority president and CEO Geoff Dickson says the extension was seen as a way to improve efficiency for the control tower operator. He says that due to the current location of the airport’s control tower, the taxi-way is in a blind spot to air traffic controllers.
