What Happened?
In 2015 a flight path called SERFR was implemented over Happy Valley and Los Gatos towards SFO as part of the FAA's NextGen air traffic management system. NextGen concentrates multiple flight routes into a low, loud, concentrated corridor.
Residents under SERFR organized under the name Quiet Skies NorCal (QSNC) and Save Our Skies Santa Cruz (SOSSC) and designed a new flight path (you read that right) over a legacy ground track called BSR or BIGSUR in order to rid themselves of their flight path. QSNC assured electeds that they represented all of us. Our congressional rep Anna Eshoo was duped and refuses to talk to those about to be affected by the BSR Overlay. The new path impacts Santa Cruz, Bonny Doon, San Lorenzo Valley, Scotts Valley, and communities north to SFO.
