So who designed the taxiway system short of 27R?

It is newly built and a total pigs ear. An accident waiting to happen. And guess what. It happened.

To my mind, the area should have been concrete from horizon to horizon, and yellow lines on it. It would have given flexibility and better safety. Now it is a rabbit warren of paths.

I suppose the solution was the "cheap" solution.

What I do know is that we are all going to have to live the spaghetti concrete short of 27R for the next 30 years or so.
