IMPLEMENTATION AND FINANCING PLAN 18. New Rotating Beacon and Removal of Old Beacon The existing beacon has exceeded its useful life and is located in an unsecure location which impedes future landside development. A brief planning study will need to be conducted to determine the best future location of the beacon using the same vision and future airport land use assumptions within this Master Plan. The conclusion of that study can determine the new construction location for the replacement rotating beacon. The project must be completed prior to construction of additional rental car service area facilities as programmed in project. Funding for this project is programmed in the CIP to come from the Airport Enterprise Fund. Alternatively, the Airport could pursue funding from federal AIP entitlement with a contribution of the required local match dollars. If federal funding is used for this project, it may be required to be separated into two components. The first would be for the study of where to best locate the beacon (on ATCT or otherwise). The second part would be for the actual construction of a new beacon. This funding strategy requires a future revision to the currently accepted FAA 5 year CIP. For the purposes of financial planning in this Master Plan, Table 5-8 shows the funding allocated to the Airport Pay-Go Funds meaning they would come from the Airport Enterprise Fund. 19. Landside Roadway, Parking, and Rental Car Improvements This project creates an expanded terminal loop road by using Northrup Drive and Lockheed Drive as the new outer perimeter and connecting Lockheed Drive to the terminal curb road through a new road connection. The intersection of Northrup Drive and Lockheed Drive is replaced with a roundabout (dimensions are assumed to be 130 feet from curb-to-curb), with two-way traffic retained on Northrup Drive and Lockheed Drive converted to one-way traffic serving as the entrance to the terminal curb road. Rental car service facilities are also expanded within the new loop road perimeter as necessitated by user demand. A new road servicing the short-term, long-term, and rental car parking lots is constructed paralleling the curb roads. The existing rental car service or Quick Turn-Around (QTA) building should be expanded to meet demand and CFC contractual agreements. Additionally, a cell phone lot should be constructed on the east side of Northrup Drive between the long-term economy parking lot and the new roundabout at the intersection of Northrup Drive and Lockheed Drive. The short-term parking area is reconstructed to occupy a small number of spaces currently used for long-term parking and the existing short-term parking spaces north of the central pedestrian walkway are converted for rental car use. Finally, a new staging lot for commercial vehicles is constructed in the location where rental car users currently exit the Airport by way of the terminal curb road. The primary driver for all elements of this project is an immediate need to address landside safety concerns. That is why the first element of the project is the expansion of the loop road and creation of the roundabout intersection. Secondarily, the expansion of the terminal loop road also serves to open new space within the immediate terminal area for meeting parking demand over the planning period. In 2017, over the course of this study, parking and rental car facilities have already begun to reach forecast levels at Eugene Airport. In October 2017, during the course of this Master Plan study, the overflow parking lot was required to be converted to a long-term economy parking lot with shuttle service in order to meet customer demand and achieve airport customer level of service goals. Airport decisions to increase available parking lot facilities over the years have been in direct response to passenger mode-choice trends which have consistently increased demand for parking facilities at the Airport.
