<br /> I 3'1 Þ <br /> PART IV <br /> PROJECT NARRA TIVE <br /> Item 1 - New Medium Intensitv Taxiwav Lic¡htinc¡ Svstem is necessary to improve low visibility taxiway <br /> operations for a "reliever" airport already equipped to serve take-offs and landings under low visibility <br /> conditions. It provides a level of safety not currently available. <br /> Item 2 - Reconstruction and Realic¡nment of Existinq Airport Access Road is necessary to provide a safe <br /> efficient means of access to the airport terminal and to businesses located on airport property. The current <br /> access road does not provide a direct route into the airport. The present road follows the property line <br /> which provides a circuitous route to airport facilities. Realignment of this road is required to make more <br /> airport area available for development. Also, the portion of the access road which is common to the airport <br /> and the Gary Job Corps is only one half the width of a previous road and is not wide enough to serve <br /> current or future needs and is in very poor condition. <br /> Item 3 - Preoaration of Environmental Assessment for Runwav 12/30 Extension is necessary due to the <br /> increased needs of the airport to serve larger aircraft and provide a greater margin of safety when the <br /> Instrument Landing System (ILS) is in operation. The current master plan calls for a Phase I 560' <br /> extension to a runway length of 6,200' and then a Phase /I extension of 1,000' to an ultimate runway length <br /> of 7,200'. <br /> Item 4 - Reolacement of Existinc¡ Airport Beacon is necessary due to the age of the existing beacon. The <br /> expected life of the existing beacon is anticipated to become increasingly unreliable. . <br /> . .. <br /> , <br />
