Staff Writer BURBANK -- Bob Hope Airport Bob Hope Airport (IATA: BUR, ICAO: KBUR, FAA LID: BUR) is a regional and national airport located in Burbank, California, United States. It was formerly known as United Airport (1930-1934); Union Air Terminal (1934-1940); officials are seeking about $750,000 to design a taxiway taxiway: see airport. extension and prepare a plan to consolidate rental-car lots now scattered Scattered Used for listed equity securities.

The extension set for discussion today by the Burbank-Glendale-Pasadena Airport Authority is slated for the north side of Runway 26, which runs east-west. It would allow aircraft to return to the parking area without using the runway. But for the airport to obtain some $5.8 million in federal funds Federal Funds Funds deposited to regional Federal Reserve Banks by commercial banks, including funds in excess of reserve requirements. Notes: These non-interest bearing deposits are lent out at the Fed funds rate to other banks unable to meet overnight reserve for the project, the agency needs to file a construction bid for Federal Aviation Administration Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), component of the U.S. Department of Transportation that sets standards for the air-worthiness of all civilian aircraft, inspects and licenses them, and regulates civilian and military air traffic through its air traffic control review. Officials have proposed a $699,975 contract with DMJM-Harris to prepare the documents. Airport spokesman Victor Gill said the extension, a high-priority safety improvement, will allow general-aviation aircraft to quickly get off the runway rather than use a portion of it to taxi. Though critics believe the project will open the airport to more flights, it was among those allowed under the 2005 pact between the Airport Authority and the city of Burbank, which restricts development at the airport for up to a decade. Meanwhile, the airport in May is slated to complete the relocation of a portion of Parking Lot A to make room for the taxiway extension. The authority also is considering a $50,000 contract to Coplean Consulting to analyze how to best manage the 10 rental-car companies operating at the airport. Gill said companies -- some with lots on airport property and some off-site -- have long considered developing a plan with the airport to reduce traffic and improve efficiency. ``Originally, we had hoped to have some kind of rental-car consolidation as part of the development agreement, but it had fallen out,'' he said. eugene.tong(at)dailynews.com (818) 546-3304 |
