Quaker2001 1273 Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 My impressions are the same. ALSO a complete makeover of La Guardia airport, it's the most convenient for domestic users and really needs a do over! Who owns it? City or Port? City of NY owns LGA and JFK. Port Authority owns EWR and operates all 3. LGA in particular has seen some renovations in recent years. Don't know that a complete makeover is possible. Neither of the 3 airports has a very large footprint, so there's only so much that can be done. As opposed to, say, ORD where a complete and total redesign of the airfield is possible. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

BR2028 69 Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 So I guess BR2028 wasn't kidding, we really did take over Canada, thus making this domestic??... Well if you look at our economies, Canada is very reliant upon the US. I have done business up North and you would be surprised. With the NA Trade agreement and Russia's growing influence at the poles it's only a matter of time until the borders come down and America get's 13 new states. Link to post Share on other sites

As opposed to, say, ORD where a complete and total redesign of the airfield is possible. While a complete renovation of LGA is not possible, it would be possible to extend a metro line to the airport. On a side note about LGA, it wasn't that long ago that Vice President Joe Biden was at the airport and he referred to it as a "third world country." Link to post Share on other sites
Alexjc 354 Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 Very dated terminal what he said, and a recent doco on it shows a major upgrade is long overdue for the terminal. I'm just thinking its close proximity to Flushing Meadows in a possible plan. In 2012, little London City really worked it's arse off, and that pretty much sits on a dock. A great complement to London's two major and two regional airports. Link to post Share on other sites
zekekelso 794 Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 LGA has no border control facilities to receive international flights. Because Passengers from Canada go through preclearance in Canada, they are treated as domestic. Link to post Share on other sites
Alexjc 354 Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 Thought as much...Great for the domestic market though. Does have a private international security clearance, great for IOC diplomatic reps to use in that bubble of a world they live in. Link to post Share on other sites

So reliant Canada's economy did worse then the USA during the recession of 2008. End sarcasm. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Athensfan 1081 Posted May 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 The following articles provides some great insights into the anti-Olympic position in NYC. The primary concerns seem to be the "condescending" and imperious IOC, improper land use and the diversion of funds and human resources away from thoughtful urban development and civic organization. The author makes it clear that NYC should not allow itself to get sucked into the IOC's game "ever again." http://m.nydailynews.com/sports/bondy-nyc-2024-olympics-article-1.1793616 Link to post Share on other sites
