AIRPORT DEVELOPMENT ALTERNATIVES <br />Landside Alternative #2 <br />Landside Alternative #2, shown in Figure 4-13, reconfigures the existing Douglas Drive entrance and <br />redistributes parking into an hourly parking program, allowing for the expansion of long-term parking <br />within the existing loop road area. <br />FIGURE 4-13 <br />LANDSIDE ALTERNATIVE #2 <br /> <br />Source: Concept by Curtis Transportation Consulting; Graphic by RS&H, 2017 <br />In this concept, entry to the airport terminal loop road is redesigned to create a stop-controlled <br />southbound movement along Northrup Drive, allowing free flow for passengers entering the terminal <br />loop road. North Ramp general aviation area traffic, tenant and employee traffic, and staging commercial <br />vehicles are allowed to continue north along Northrup Drive, unimpeded, past a new raised island. <br />Commercial vehicles can then stage upstream from the curb roads, allowing them access to the outer <br />curb as needed. This new commercial staging area also accommodates bus parking during the arrival of <br />large charter aircraft requiring multiple buses. <br />Access to long-term parking remains in place as it exists today, however, the long-term parking is <br />expanded under a new parking program which allocates space for hourly and long-term parking. This <br />configuration requires a shift from the existing short-term/long-term parking program structure. A major <br />advantage to the use of hourly parking in place of the existing short-term program is that it can substitute <br />forcurbside drop-off/pickup facilities.
