There was an alternative plan to align the runway about 12 degrees west. That would have reduced the effect on Trellis and given a good clean 3 degree ILS approach but it would require filling the salt pond and impinge on Long Bay beach which seems to be considered the Belongers' private beach. Total cost would have been about the same as the original piling and girder plan. (About $400 mil.) Latest plan is a culvert and fill extension of the current runway for about $200 mil. Privatizing the airport with a lease to whoever will pay for the work. (Sort of a Ken Bates Jr deal) <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />
