What was the noise like when the terminal was at Palm and Pacific Highway?
According to a number of long time residents, it was much, much noisier for residents.

Yes, this currently a problem for a number of residents. Travelers usually park their cars and call a taxi with their cell phone. We expect this problem to become extreme once the North Terminal is built because the terminal will be within walking distance. We’d also expect employees to park in our neighborhood as well.
