Mitch, After some in-house discussion, we propose the following modification: if we have only one noise abatement sign at the south end, it should be moved further north from the location indicated in your proposal, so that it is almost abeam Taxiway Charlie and can be seen by pilots departing from the Twy C intersection. Ideally, a second sign might be added between Twy C and Twy D, west of Twy A and oriented so that the sign is visible to pilots departing from the Twy D intersection. The reason for having noise abatement signage is perhaps as much political as it is practical. We recognize that pilots will be given departure instructions by ATC regardless of the signage, but we believe it makes an important statement to both pilots and the community with respect to the need to refrain from antagonizing our neighbors with unnecessarily noisy operations.

Subject: ADS Runway Guidance Sign Relocation Part of Change Order #3 for the runway project includes the relocation of the taxiway guidance signs that obstruct the visibility of the runway hold position signs. All of the sign relocations, except for the “Noise Abatement” sign on the south end of Taxiway Alpha, are being relocated within the general vicinity of the existing guidance sign. The “Noise Abatement” sign has a limited area to be relocated between Taxiways Charlie and Delta. One of the projects proposed for construction next year is the addition of an aircraft holding bay on the south end of Taxiway Alpha. With this planned addition, we recommend to relocate the existing “Noise Abatement” sign to a new location along the east side of Taxiway Alpha between the south end of Taxiway Alpha and Taxiway Charlie. I have attached an exhibit to illustrate this recommendation. Do any of you have an objection for this sign relocation recommendation? If you have any questions just let me know.
