No. The mag pole moves slowly every year. Runways are based on magnetic heading. Currently runway 34 is around 343 degrees magnetic. As the pole shifts the magnetic heading of the runway will move closer to 350 degrees. They are renaming them 35L/R 17L/R.
They likely will stay as 35/17 for decades.
