Well it can't be said that the airport has a clear vision of the way forward with regards to it's building work. The latest example is the temporary drop off zone that is under construction in the short term car park. The planning application shows drop off lanes in an almost southerly direction but the kerbing for the lanes that are now going in are at a right angle to the plan.
It is crucial that the airport cracks the persistent problem of congestion that has plagued the CTA for years but those with even short memories will remember the drop off zone before the current single lane. Passengers were forced as now to cross traffic lanes to get to the terminal so no difference there with the latest scheme but this layout will hopefully not have barriers at the ends of each lane as previous layouts have had in the past.
The airport have stated that bus traffic will not have to go through barriers when this work is completed so we will have to wait and see where they actually go. In the plan below the barriers capture all traffic entering the CTA so there are also changes to this part of the plan as well.
