Summary: The J-Port Idea

The J-Port Idea

With the mass growth of Arizona's most popular two cities, Phoenix and Tucson, how will we improve or in other words fix overcrowded or mass populated airports in both cities? The explanation is clear, the two cities need a large joint-airport, or in other words a joint airport between the two massive, growing cities. This is essentially building a large scale airport in or just outside the city of casa grande to accommodate sound and population. With the idea building of a “mid-port” many questions arise. Is the population growing enough for a joint airport? Are we looking at noise regulations and complaints in the near future? Is it economical for citizens of both cities? And a many more. In today's society people are

Even someone who is used to and adaptive to urban noises can't get a break from the constant distinct noise of an airport. There's one solution, a airport in a location accommodating both
But in order to keep the airport booming and get back in pace with the rapid growth of the valley, the phoenix city council approved them of a 950 dollar plan to extend the train service system, add gates, and renovate terminals. The phoenix airport serves more than 100,000 passengers with a little more than 1,200 flights per day totaling out to 40 million passengers every year. To keep the numbers and growth increasing they intend on making better roads, more terminal space, better parking, airfield improvements, and a faster and more efficient pace all around the
