CHAPTER 3 FACILITY REQUIREMENTS 8.4 Airport Access Ground access to the Airport is primarily by Airport Road from State Highway 99. Reconfigured as part of Runway 16L/34R improvements, Airport Road becomes Douglas Drive, and connects to Lockheed Drive, Northrop Road, and Airport Road. This network leads into the core of the airfield, providing passengers, pilots, tenants, and employees a direct route to their airport facility. Before this reconfiguration, many stops, starts, and slowed turns were required to reach the airfield. This improvement now provides access to the Airport with no stops for most users. Access to the Hollis Lane area requires travel on Green Hill Road, which was also reconfigured with Airport Road. Traveling north from its intersection with Airport Road, Green Hill Road follows Runway 16L/34R to intersect with Hollis Lane, which accesses the Hollis Lane area, in the northern portion of the airfield. The Airport’s new access road system is expected to accommodate vehicle traffic and airport access through the planning period. Alternatives for expanding auto parking, however, may have an impact on the Airport access roadway. Issues related to potential expansion of auto parking and possible impacts on the roadway will be treated in an integral manner in Chapter Four, Alternate Plan Concepts. 9. Utilities One of the tasks in this Master Plan Update is to provide the City of Eugene with consolidated utility maps of the Airport. This is being accomplished as part of an extended inventory effort using a combination of “as-construct” drawings and field verification. The new maps being developed as part of the aerial photogrammetry work also being completed under this Master Plan Update contract will be used as base maps. The following utilities are addressed in this effort: Domestic water Sanitary sewer Storm drainage Natural gas Electric Telecommunications 3-23 Eugene Airport Master Plan Update (February 2010)
