Destination Lindbergh Draft Concept Plan now available on www.destinationlindbergh.com
The
Board of the San Diego County Regional Airport Authority has accepted
for public distribution the Destination Lindbergh Draft Concept Plan
for San Diego International Airport (SDIA). The Airport Authority Board
accepted the Draft Concept at its March 23rd public hearing and further
directed that an invitation be sent to all stakeholders for future
planning, and that the Concept Plan establish benchmarks for
operations, an economic turnaround and transit ridership. Six
Board members voted in favor, two Board members voted against, with one
Board member
absent.
Destination Lindbergh was a comprehensive process to determine how best
to achieve three goals: (1) optimize the airport, (2) improve transit
to the airport and region-wide and (3) reduce traffic congestion in the
vicinity of the airport.
The
Draft Concept Plan takes into account ground transportation, intermodal
facility, passenger terminal, airfield/airspace, environment, financial
feasibility and regional development.
