Proposed Airports
There is a tentative proposal to develop a new, Pickering Airport northeast of the city, to complement Pearson on the west side of Toronto. Versions of these tentative plans have been in existence since the early 1970s, and land for this proposed airport was expropriated by governmental authorities in 1972. However, continued and vociferous local opposition to the Pickering airport scheme has meant that nearly 40 years later, the airport is still in the discussion phase.

Famous quotes containing the word proposed:
“...a fixed aim furnishes us with a fixed measure, by which we can decide whether such or such an action proposed is worth trying for or not, and as aims must vary with the individual, the decisions of any two people as to the desirableness of an action may not be the same.”
—Anna C. Brackett (1836–1911)
