Other solutions needed beyond closing airport

Liz Kniss and Ken Yeager, in “Why supervisors should close Reid-Hillview Airport,” in the Nov. 15 Mercury News, cite leaded fuel and lack of a curfew as reasons to close an airport that preceded its neighborhood.

We have President Biden now, so why not ban leaded aviation fuel? Then ban late flights like Mineta San Jose International Airport does. I’ll bet the FAA would yield to keep it open.
