AIRPORT DEVELOPMENT ALTERNATIVES other landside alternative concepts, this concept adds a stop controlled exit from the outer curb roadway due to the location of the new parallel parking and rental car road. Additionally, this concept shows the location of a new cell phone lot along Northrup Drive, capable of holding 40 cars and reducing dwell times on the terminal curb, thereby improving curb capacity and level of service. Table 4-6 shows the approximate total area and the provided parking spaces for each functional area as well as how the parking projections meet PAL 3 requirements. The space allocation in this concept shows a small deficiency in short-term parking spaces but a large surplus in long-term parking spaces. This concept is flexible and programmed parking areas for short-term, long-term, and rental car could easily be adjusted as necessary to meet the demand as it occurs.

Ultimately, the inclusion of a parking garage in front of the existing terminal building was dismissed as an unviable development option due to the preferred terminal development conclusions, overall estimated constructions costs, and the uncertainty of the ability of a parking garage to meet the ultimate development vision. Furthermore, the emerging technology of autonomous vehicles has the potential to reduce the need for parking in the long-term. The following section shows the parking garage alternatives analysis but this was ultimately dismissed from consideration, included only to inform the reader of the analysis behind this conclusion and provide data for an instance where circumstances have changed. loop road which maintains reasonable walking distances from the farthest space to the terminal entrance. Reasonable is a subjective term and it is best left to the discretion of airport administrators, but generally speaking, it is recommended than any parking lots requiring a walking distance farther than ¼ mile (1,320 feet) be provided a shuttle service to maintain acceptable levels of customer service. Parking any farther away, as demonstrated by the existing long-term overflow lot, justifies an airport in providing a passenger shuttle service, adding operational costs. One method used to maintain a premium level of customer service within a confined space is the construction of a parking garage. Parking garages should be placed in close proximity to the terminal building and typically command a higher price, which is necessary in EUGENE AIRPORT MASTER PLAN 4-43
