AIRPORT DEVELOPMENT ALTERNATIVES <br />Landside Alternative #3 <br />Landside Alternative #3, shown in Figure 4-14, relocates and reconfigures the airport entrance, relocates <br />rental car facilities, and reprograms parking space to an hourly/long-term/economy parking program. <br />FIGURE 4-14 <br />LANDSIDE ALTERNATIVE #3 <br /> <br />Source: Concept by Curtis Transportation Consulting; Graphic by RS&H, 2017 <br />In this concept, the airport terminal entry is relocated further north along Northrup Drive and <br />reconfigured to stop-control southbound movement. Two-way traffic is preserved along Northrup Drive. <br />Traffic to the terminal area never has to stop or yield as it becomes one-way as it enters Douglas Drive at <br />the intersection. <br />A new one-way entry roadway is provided parallel to the outer curb roadway, feeding the entrances to all <br />public parking and rental car return. Rental car facilities are relocated in a consolidated area across the <br />curb roads from arrivals/baggage claim and south of the central pedestrian walkway. Due to the closer <br />proximity of baggage claim facilities, this arrangement provides optimal level of service for arriving <br />passengers who are making use of rental car facilities. This is counter to the configuration found at <br />Eugene Airport today which favors passengers dropping off rental cars and accessing airline ticketing on <br />the Departures curb end of the terminal building. Passengers returning rental cars are traditionally more <br />time-sensitive than arriving passengers which is one underlying factor driving the existing layout location. <br />However, due to the relative proximity of rental car facilities on either side of the central pedestrian spine, <br />EUGENE AIRPORT MASTER PLAN 4-39 <br /> <br />
