Columbia River Crossing and Pearson Airfield (VUO) By John Townsley, WPA Legislative Director Last September I received an email from Nisha at the Washington Aviation Division Loughran, VUO airport manager, the design team is well aware of aviation safety concerns. announcing a public meeting in Vancouver. The meeting was part of the scoping process In public meetings Sean has pointed out that the bridge design, particularly the vertical for replacing the bridge. It seems the I-5 Bridge over the Columbia can no longer handle elements, is a significant concern in maintaining a safe and viable airport. existing traffic. Replacement alternatives include provisions for light rail, special bus lanes, Of course, the height of the bridge is only part of the problem. A brightly lighted bridge and more capacity for autos. There are basically three options: reconstructing the existing may make it difficult for pilots making night landings. If the structure is built to be bird bridge, building a new structure to the west of the existing bridge or building a new structure friendly with lots of inviting perches, that also will create unsafe conditions for aircraft. to the east of the current bridge. Navigation interests would like to see a higher bridge, with Sean needs WPA and concerned pilots to explain why improving river navigation must a lot more river clearance. Think about that for a moment. not degrade aviation safety. The project continues to ask for public input on alternative The Columbia River I-5 bridge project started nearly seven years ago.

  • 2.0 Inventory of Existing Conditions
    2014 Airport Master Plan Narrative Report 2.0 INVENTORY OF EXISTING CONDITIONS 2.1 INTRODUCTION AND PLANNING CONTEXT 2.1.1 GENERAL The purpose of the inventory is to summarize existing conditions of all the facilities at the Priest River Municipal Airport (1S6) as well as summarize other pertinent information relating to the community and the airport background, airport role, surrounding environment and various operational and other significant characteristics. The information in this chapter describes the current status of the Priest River Municipal Airport and provides the baseline for determining future facility needs. Information was obtained through various justifiable mediums including: consultant research, review of existing documents, interviews and conversations with airport stakeholders including the airport sponsor (Bonner County), City of Priest River, airport tenants, Idaho Transportation Department - Division of Aeronautics (ITD) and other knowledgeable sources. 2.1.2 FAA NATIONAL PLAN OF INTEGRATED AIRPORT SYSTEMS (NPIAS) AND ASSET STUDY The United States has developed a national airport system. Known as the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems (NPIAS), this system identifies public-use airports considered by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), state aviation agencies, and local planning organizations to be in the national interest and essential for the U.S air transportation system. Per the 2013- 2017 NPIAS Report to Congress, guiding principles of the NPIAS include: The NPIAS will provide a safe, efficient and integrated system of airports; The NPIAS will ensure an airport system that is in a state of good repair, remains safe and is extensive, providing as many people as possible with convenient access to air transportation The NPIAS will support a variety of critical national objectives such as defense, emergency readiness, law enforcement, and postal delivery.

Ziegler, P.E. 2702 South 42nd Street, Suite 201 Director Tacoma, Washington 98409-7322 [email protected] piercecountywa.org/pwu TO: Dan Roach, Chair Pierce County Council FROM: Deb Wallace, Airport and Ferry Administrator DATE: October 28, 2014 SUBJECT: Airport Security The purpose of this briefing paper is to provide an update to Council on the status of security upgrades at Pierce County's airports. Current Situation: The Pierce County Airport and Ferry division is in the process of upgrading gate access, fencing, and security lighting at both airports. In 2015 the division will implement an Airport Watch program to increase the safety and security at each facility. The improvements are being made due to incidents which have occurred at the airports over the last several years and at the request of airport tenants. Currently both airports are fenced with restricted access gates to enhance security, although there are gaps in the fencing allowing unauthorized pedestrian entry. These gaps will be addressed in early 2015. An electronic gate is being added to the north gate at Tacoma Narrows Airport (TIW) and the south gate is being outfitted with a mechanism to allow its use by those who are hearing impaired. Once that improvement is completed, 24 hour security will be implemented at TIW. Thun Field currently operates with 24 hour gate security. Prior to implementation, the airport commissions at each airport discussed airport security measures during the preceding year and staff coordinated the implementation of the security measures with airport tenants.

  • The Objective of This Section Is to Identify, in General Terms, The
    The objective of this section is to identify, in general terms, the adequacy of the existing airport facilities and outline what facilities may be needed to accommodate future demands. Airport facilities include both airside and landside components. Airside components include the runway system (runways and taxiways), navigational aids, lighting, and markings. Landside components include terminal facilities, storage and maintenance hangars, auto parking, access, and support facilities. There are four primary sources from which to examine and determine facility requirements: Aviation Demand Forecasts: The forecasts of aviation demand developed in the previous chap‐ ter serve as data inputs to various models, which have been constructed following Federal Avia‐ tion Administration (FAA) guidance, to generate facility needs. Design Standards Review: Various design standards that apply to the airport are reviewed as they can change based on modifications to FAA guidance or activity changes at the airport. De‐ sign standards primarily relate to the numerous imaginary safety‐related surfaces and separation distances. Facility Maintenance: Airports are required to maintain their pavement surfaces for the useful life of those pavements. The pavements require routine maintenance and occasionally must be rehabilitated or reconstructed. This category includes maintenance of airport structures and landside facilities. Support Facilities: This category includes all airport‐related facilities that do not naturally fall into the airside or landside categories, including elements such as fuel facilities, access and circu‐ lation, and general on‐airport land use. DRAFT - Facility Requirements 3-1 Recognizing that many facility needs are based upon demand (rather than a point in time), the require‐ ments are expressed in short‐term (years 1‐5), intermediate term (years 6‐10), and long‐term (years 11‐ 20).
